1. Now if that

translates to the Minnesota House and Senate,then maybe Minny could give themselves a One Party State Government. Nah,ain't going to happen,they love controversy ,messed up School Budgets,underfunded Programs,crappy out state Roads.

2. I don't think Biden is any stronger of a candidate than Clinton...

But Trump is a much weaker candidate than he was in 2016.

In 2016 Democrats and Independents thought Trump was an incompetent racist boob. In 2020 we know exactly how dangerous he is. Folks are highly motivated to kick him to the curb.

I’ve never seen an incumbent hated so passionately but so many.

5. Biden doesn't have Hillary's thirty years of

mudslinging directed at him. The GOP is also playing defense this time around, and watching Biden, I think he knows exactly what he's doing - largely by letting Trump hang himself.

7. that is clearly untrue

Biden did way better than her in the primaries (both before it was down to just him and Sanders and after that). In 2016, it was essentially a two person race from the start and she tied Iowa, lost NH by a ton, won NV, and then swept the South. Despite being way ahead in delegates she still lost MI to him and had only narrow victories in MO and WI. Conversely Biden won every contest but 2 once SC was done, and won many of them by very large margins. One thing though is that we got rid of caucuses which helped Biden (he likely won on MN, WA, and ME due to that. I will say, that it is quite a bit of sexism as to why this is true but it is true.

8. Now we've all seen what Trump is capable of.

And that things could get so much worse if he's given a second term. Think it's bad now? Hoo boy we ain't seen nothing yet! It's definitely time to put the adults back in charge!

9. Biden doesn't face misogyny

3. That Tina Smith number is interesting. Franken backlash?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

4. More likely because she's the junior senator, hasn't been around as long, and Klobuchar has a

stronger reach across the aisle.

6. If Biden wins Minn by that much, the whole midwest will fall.
