If Donald Trump intended to make an example out of Minnesota, then I am damn proud of that example. Walz

Minnesota may be known for our lakes, Bob Dylan, and Prince - but our civic engagement runs deeper.

If Donald Trump intended to make an example out of Minnesota, then I am damn proud of that example.

Chicago? Gangsters. NYC? The Mafia. DC? Melanin-rich street gangs. OMG! No wonder it was hard. His beliefs about everything comes from the movies. It's all Central Casting and the cheapest script he can find. He doesn't even have to learn lines, he can just ad-lib. It's not like he's ever studied anything, even for a minute, and he won't tolerate anybody around him who's smarter than he is, for fear they'll show him up for being the idiot that he is.

Minneapolis? Pfft! Easy, peasy. I mean, if Minnesotans were smart, they'd be on one of the coasts, not in flyover land. It's practically The Music Man without the singing. It should take about a week, we'll finally get to win, and everybody else will fall right in line.

We've got our own script.
