    Re: The States: Why does Minnesota wanna be Kansas?

    Interesting comments (since deleted) from Chris Barnett, candidate for Oklahoma governor.

    “Most receiving food stamps work, or are disabled,” a user commented on the poll post. “Some are elderly."
    Before I post his response, let me point out that here and other places when I have said the typical GOP position is rather Dickensian in nature, amounting to "Let them die and decrease the surplus population," I have been accused of hyperbole.

    The ones who are disabled and can’t work…why are we required to keep them? Sorry but euthanasia is cheaper and doesn’t make everyone a slave to the Government.

    If they can take care of themselves without Government assistance, great, if not, let them starve and die. Easy as that.
    Phuck you.

            I didn't read too closely, but did she fail to absolve herself from the Nazi comments specifially?

                      Back to the theme I picked for this thread. From today's Star Tribune.

                      According to Axios, Trump’s 2020 campaign manager, Brad Parscale, is targeting two other blue states for victory in the next election: Minnesota and Colorado. As with Michigan and New Mexico, one of those seems more likely than the other to go in Trump’s favor.

                      But there are also national trends at play that influence individual states. If we factor out the national shifts, we can get a different sense for how the states voted in 2016, relative to years past. In other words, we can see how heavily each state voted for the Democrat or the Republican in each presidential election relative to how the country on the whole did.

                      In doing so, we see two things. First, that Minnesota voted more Republican in 2016 than the nation on the whole, a big shift from 2012.

                        Oh lord I see the locals are starting the "This is the election we go Red" crap earlier than usual. If Trump wastes time here it will be tantamount to Clinton wasting time in Arizona. Last election he had the best possible chance because we were a Bernie State who disliked Clinton and he still lost. Yes it was close but it wont be that close again unless the Dems put up someone as unlikeable. Trump needs to hold the states he flipped last election of Minnesota and Colorado wont matter.

                          I'm pretty sure it's just a way to get the Dems to expend resources on defense. But then again I convinced myself that's what Clinton doing by "expanding the map" late in the 2016 cycle.

                          In retrospect, I honestly don't know what she was doing. Was the idea to run up the score to create a larger "mandate"? Even if that worked, how could that have helped her? The GOP had already separated itself from those considerations and committed to complete obstruction during Obama. She could have swept the entire EC and still no Republican would have governed for the good of the country.
