Might want to do a little research into the larger picture next time, before you crack that bottle of champagne.



Ignorant people often latch onto a single event and project it as prevalent. Trump does it all the time.

This was not a statewide election. This was a State Senate seat in a historically Democratic district that has shifted Republican in recent years. Trump won theis particular district by double digits in 2016.

Minnesota itself as a whole isn't really shifting that much, however parts of the state are shifting different directions. The traditionally Democratic rural portions of the state are shifting Republican, the historically Republican suburban portions of the state are shifting Democratic.

Is it reasonable to think an American would believe a State Senate Race is statewide??

We’re either dealing with idiots or foreign trolls who need retraining from their handlers.

Lets see. You called me a Russian, an idiot, and troll in this topic. The one with the "issues" is clear. And clearly no argument either.


Time to admit you are mad that a Republican took a seat from a Democrat and move on.

Who do these people think that their constituency is going to be outside of New York and California?
And they want to abolish the Electoral College so New York, and California dictate to the ENTIRE country. You will be forced to implement their loony policy, taxes, and more oppressive government.

No, but if you actually think that a State Senate Race is statewide, as you stated earlier and never corrected, you are either a blithering idiot or a foreigner who is unfamiliar with American politics.

Both of those possibilities are more probable than a statement from an American engineer, as you claim to be.

As you would say, the evidence speaks for itself.

Name calling direct personal attacks are not hallmarks of one making an argument based on fact & logic. Don't you agree?

It’s not a personal attack.

It’s outing you for what you are.

You are not the person you claim to be.

Your handlers in Old St. Pete need to call you back for a remedial course.

The facts speak for themselves.

Nyet, comrade.

You still haven’t responded to what I said.

Either you made a mistake no one of average intelligence who is remotely familiar with American politics would make, or you’re a foreign troll.
