There is precedent for awarding the prize to such a large group. Perhaps there are others, but I can recall that in 1988 the Peace Prize went to the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces (the "blue helmets&quot .

In lieu of the entire city receiving such an award, perhaps Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey could be so honored. In any event, it would be deserving and we could all enjoy the added benefit of knowing how Trump would react.
