Minnesota already has a Republican legislature (hence the budget surplus) and they were within 1% of voting for Trump....if they vote with the majority next time for Trump, the liberals will jettison their mostly silly or exaggerated arguments about how great the state is and claim it's worse than Kansas
If not for all the welfare leeches that have relocated from Chicago and Gary and worse places that call our state "Moneyapolis" we would have went for Trump.
The other part of the success equation is agriculture here. We have great farmers and good land and plenty of water for irrigation. And farmers are about 90% republican. Simple fact.
Paul Wellstone is still remembered fondly and many are still suspicious of that plane crash.

Paul Wellstone is part of the so called Clinton death list...if anyone does find it suspicious..then they should be looking at Clinton and the crooked DNC

I tell you one thing Wisconsin has figured out...sports stadiums. They build an outdoor stadium for their football team the Packers. They build a baseball stadium with a retractable roof for their baseball team. Perfect combo for our weather. Ensures them home field advantage in playoff games in the cold plus beautiful fall weather for the fans in Sept and Oct.
In Minnesota we get everything assbackwards. Outdoor only baseball stadium so the team plays with snow flying on opening day and just miserable weather for the first month. Combine that with a losing team and you get empty seats. The football team plays in a stupid indoor only stadium that looks like a giant polebarn build by people on LSD.
you sure like to lie don't you. liberals are better at destroying cities than fixing them. conservatives prefer to help everyone out, instead of like liberals, more regulations, help out the illegals more than helping the citizens out.
Oh sure, liberals better at destroying cities than fixing them. That's why the most famous cities in US are all liberal cities.
Conservatives like to help people; the problem is, they only consider the top 5% to be people.
Long story short, since 2010 MN adopted progressive economic policies while WI went the other direction with very conservative right-wing policies. Both states are very close to each other with similar climate and demographic; it couldn't be any better set for a showdown between liberals and conservatives' economic race. So who is better at job growth, employment, wage growth, and quality of life? If you've been paying attention, the answer will not surprise you - the liberals.

Washington state is a good example, when the Rs were in control the state struggled and the joke slowly became "out one out of seattle turn off the lights." But as the dems gained more power and the cons moderated the state kept doing better.
Now WA is 100% controlled by dems and it its economy is doing great. It is not that the dems have some magic it is that they encourage education , long term investment and strong social safety nets.
you are comparing, and measuring Minnesota to Wisconsin with an elitist attitude, instead of thinking about the peers within the other states
sitting their being an elitist saying how much better M is compare to a fellow state of W
And here I was wondering if you were having trouble reading and comprehending.
First off, sentences typically begin with a capital letter and end with a period. Or does is that a sign of an elitist?
As to your questions about what else is different besides smokers and bars, I believe I mentioned that Duluth has a ballet, a symphony, and most of the good restaurants. There are other differences, of course. But I can see you are already offended, so I'll leave it there.
You mentioned that folks in Duluth should help out the folks in Superior. Help out with what? I don't see symphony concerts or ballet performances being a big hit in Superior. Not unless everyone was performing nekkid.
In any case, folks in Wisconsin are quite happy with the way things are. I doubt many have any interest in having those from Minnesota coming over to help spiffy things up.
Unless they become disabled, of course. Then Wisconsin folks hot foot it across the bridge to get the health care, the monthly living stipend, and the subsidized housing that is not available in their state.
There should be an amendment to the constitution that state and city governments have to have a balance of conservative representatives along with what other whack a mole party that wants to give everything away to people who do nothing.
Minnesota is a known as a high tax state with a good quality of living and apparently that attracts competent individuals and businesses whose success depends on competent employees.
For example, I don't believe there is anything comparable to the Mayo Clinic in Wisconsin.
people who believe liberals are better at the economy should just move to those states. every report can be spun one way or another.
