Democrats are worried about Minnesota

Via 1KeyData.com

I just had flashbacks to 2016. When I think about that presidential elections it was satisfying seeing someone who was well qualified to be president and seemingly took this election for granted - considering some of Trump's negatives - lose the election. It was her's to win and she blew it....

This year is a bit different isn't it? Trump is the incumbent and Biden hardly has anything to take for granted and he has his own negatives one of which is his age. And also consider this nation is now in a different state four years later.

And like some of that blue wall in 2016 Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, I find myself thinking Trump could win more blue state's this year. Nixon won Minnesota in 1972 the last Republican to do so and the '72 election was a blowout. Let's not forget about 1984 was another blowout by Ronald Reagan who lost Minnesota to native son Walter Mondale in the '84 presidential election.

Alson consider a group of Minnesota mayors has endorsed President Trump. Also note Trump thinks he can win his former home state of New York. '20 could indeed turn out to be an unusual political year in a time of unrest.

And just think for the first time in years I'm starting to pay attention to polling. I couldn't find any Illinois polls that shows where Biden and Trump is although it seems for now the Land of Lincoln is likely a Biden lock. However we're down to two months to go before Election Day so all we can do is wait and see.
