Ken Martin does not impress me at all. [View all] elleng Jun 2025 OP

Context? Anything in particular he said or did? fujiyamasan Jun 2025 #1

On MSNBC, 'discussing' repugs today, talks fast without saying anything. elleng Jun 2025 #2

Well, I would certainly hope Martin was more successful - Wisconsin is a swing state and Minnesota isn't. NT Midwestern Democrat Jul 2025 #5

And part of the reason Minnesota isn't considered a swing state much anymore is because of Martin's stewardship there. W_HAMILTON Jul 2025 #7

Since 1960, Minnesota has only voted for one Republican for president - Nixon in the 1972 landslide. Ken Martin wasn't Midwestern Democrat Jul 2025 #8

And? At the time, Wisconsin was part of "the Blue Wall" and had only voted for two Republican nominees since 1960. W_HAMILTON Jul 2025 #9

TY! It's always nice to see Cha Jul 2025 #6
