I'm a native Hoosier. Your statement on Pence and his "influence" in Indiana is totally laughable. His being picked as VP in 2016 was considered a "win/win" at the time...for him and the state!
That explains your posts. You are a native Liberal from Indiana that moved to blue bubble city Mass.
For a serious note, Pence was picked for VP in 2016 because he was part of a short list by McConnell and the GOP establishment gave Trump if wanted their support in the general. Pence is a Bush Neo Con Republican. To say Pence has no small influence in Indiana's GOP politics is really naive.

To insist that he does, reveals utmost ignorance of Hoosier politics.
And my point was, when he was picked, it was considered "good riddance" by many in Indiana in his own party. That was the win/win.
Minnesota to Trump? Thanks for providing me my hearty laugh of the morning.
How about this one--100,000 Republicans voted for Nikki Haley in Indiana last night. Safe to assume these are never Trumpers in one of the reddest states around. Should we start a rumor about Indiana going to Biden?
They may be "never Trumpers" now but at the ballot box? I was a never Trumper in 2016 and I wound up voting for him in 2020. I will again, despite Biden's obvious greatness as POTUS.

Most Haley voters have turned out to be Democrats trying to weaken Trump's position.
When it comes down to the general election, I suspect Democrats and liberal Independents will either vote Biden, or simply leave it blank. It's unthinkable that Biden serve a 2nd term after botching pretty much everything in the first term.
All those slick ads and social media paid posts that make Biden/Kamala sound like a winner team do not reflect the reality which is that only about 1/3 of Americans approve or support this pair, and they still have plenty of time to make things even worse.
For example:
- some are predicting gasoline will hit $5/gallon this summer (already is in parts of California)
- adding $1 trillion to the National Debt every 100 days
- mortgage rates rising and pricing middle class people out of the house market, even while...
- millions of illegals continuing to arrive, receiving free housing, free medical coverage, at the expense of veterans & others born here
- foreign wars only getting worse, no end in sight, and China possibly starting a war with Taiwan soon
- North Korea testing nuclear missiles and space launches
NONE of this was happening during Trump. Even the most hard core Democrats are running out of "but Trump caused it" excuses.
Minnesota, like New Jersey, always looks "purple" but almost never flips Red. Last time it did was in 1972 after McGovern's disastrous campaign. Though my father and I (I was 15) campaigned for McGovern, the best coverage was provided by the Gonzo author Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, a book I read back in 2013.

This is true, unfortunately.^
Having been born and raised there it disgusts me that so many drink the koolaid in my home state, but it is dark blue and has been for a long time.
I will believe MN has tipped to Trump only when I see it, and even then I will have doubts.

You'd think that the crazy crime-promoting policies perpetrated on Minneapolis by their lunatic city council might tip the scales a bit... or maybe the approximately 100K Somali Muslims dumped there by Obama who have brought crime, corruption, and intolerance to a formerly clean and well run city... but apparently not.

Go ahead, start one. And then back it up with legit polling data.
