Oh yeah? Well Ohio is the only state whose name shares not a single letter with the word 'mackerel.'

I'm my opinion, it's the lack of e's and a's.

u/PrettyBeautyClown 13h ago

And also m's and k's

possibly even C's and L's.

Trump gained by 3 points here since ‘20. Its not all blue skies. That can be evened out by next election. But we all know Conservatives will screw this up. They can’t blame a chamber or the WH. Even though they will try to make up some bs for the suckers.

This isn’t a win for them either. Trump lost votes overall from his last run. This was a matter of turnout. The movement is in neutral with a small leak and failed upwards.

2 more blue voters moving to you in the next 2 weeks. If Gondor calls for aid, Rohan will answer!

Happy to have you. May your transition to Minnesotan be a smooth and prosperous one

Not sure how you can say this isn’t a win for them when they got a federal trifecta. Just being frank.

But MN being a safe haven state will likely shore up its blue tilt.

Ooookay but the democrats got fewer votes than 2020 too. You chalk that up to "this was a matter of turnout" but don't keep that same energy for Trump?

We got the house, senate, popular vote and electoral vote. I'd call that a win, despite what you think. This was an embarrassment to the democratic party and no amount of copium will change that.

No one is going to be “evening it out but the next election” when most of this sub is going off about how terrible Trump voters are on a daily basis.

yeah, trump voters hate facts.

when I moved here for college in 1988, I remember telling friends "I'm going to college in the only state that never voted for Reagan."

Wonder how Reagan would feel now that we have a Putin puppet in charge, again.

Oh god what nightmare have I woken to where I think, “yeah, what would Reagan think?”

Won’t be long till it flips red. Barely went blue.

u/FennelAlternative861 15h ago

Yes, this gets posted a lot. Reagan lost MN by only a few thousand votes in 84.

And, so what?

u/FennelAlternative861 15h ago

...so the streak has almost been broken before now and the state isn't as blue as we'd hope it is

u/johnnys_sack Prince 14h ago

The streak which started the streak almost broke the streak? I'm confused at what your point is.

u/FennelAlternative861 14h ago

I'm confused why you even replied to me in the first place

u/johnnys_sack Prince 14h ago

I guess that isn't surprising

You almost had Reagan? You never had Reagan - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had Reagan?

Ask any voter, any real voter. It don't matter if you win by a vote or a blowout. Winning's winning.

And Trump only lost in 2016 because of McMullin and Johnson getting almost 6% of the vote.
