AJE,I have lived on the MN/Mn border for over 35 years,I am a couple miles from Hudson Wi. In the morning it is best to avoid hiway 94 ,why?,because of the mass exodus of Wisconsinites into the metro twin cities -to work.
Ther are still pockets of us here who detest Walz and company,that are doing there best to ruin everything we love. Unfortunately,some of us won't live long enough to see the end of the crap handed out from St. Paul.

Gary hit the nail on the head.

Counting the months until we’re out of Duluth, which has evolved into a world-class dump. Spending a little time lately in Alexandria and it’s a nice change. Ultimately, going to end up in ND, my home state. Can’t wait!

We will see about that. Life is about compromises, and as far as I see it, trappers arent decimating all the wolves in states that have a managed Wolf Harvest. Are all 3 MN trapper associations on board with the same wolf management plan?

No kidding. Now to add this on top of the disappointment of an empty superbowl trophy case. LOL.

Between the entrenched Democrat political machine, the messed up voting laws that really require no real roof of anything except that you have an address, and no enforcement of election laws, what chance do we have? A real voter Id would be a start, but we'd have to get Republicans in to do that or do a ballot vote on it.

Sorry MN I got a sister that moved there she’s really messed up. I guess she fits right in with a bunch of the crazies. That’s what a liberal college did to her!!!

Actually, with a little work, I don' see why MN can't be fixed. Same with Kansas, GA, PA, MI and several others. These are not like DC where population is 95% demonrat.

Population of MN is nearly 6M people. In 2022, 2.45M voted for Guvnor and Walz only won by 200,000 votes. Population of twin cities is roughly 700,000 so does not overwhelm the state like Chicago or NYC do. You guys were actually pretty close and could have pulled it off.

To get over the hump, going to have to do more than just vote yourself.......or worse, sit it out. VA, OH and FL overcame pretty big odds and you guys can too.

I agree and same with NY. They have the numbers, just not the turnout.

Anyone remember all the shenanigans they pulled when it looked like al franken wasn't going to win?

Alexandria is showing signs of going down the tube too. Like so many other places, people move away from their problems but have a tendency to bring them along with.

Walz also sent covid patients into nursing homes where residents died. I can't believe that was never brought up.
With all the unions in the NE, I can't believe they still voted democrat with all the mining shutdowns Walz was backing. Some people never learn.

The twin cities metro is 3.69 million.

Regardless of numbers I thought the gubernatorial candidate was weak choice, weak campaigne, and very low on personal appeal.

He's our family doctor so we think highly of him. Clearly the rest of the state didn't. I'm not sure any republican will be the governor of this state again in my lifetime

Well St. Louis MO metro area is said to be over 2.2M, which is about half the state. But only St. Louis County and city vote blue. St. Charles Co is as big as St. Louis and runs deep, deep red.

This urban vote problem plagues the entire country and one of the few solutions I can think of to fix it is for someone with a conservative bent to start buying up TV stations and local papers. There are only 3 local TV stations where I live (ABC, NBC and CBS) and local news presented on all three of those is so far to the left it would make State Run TV in commie countries blush with envy. Between local TV and local papers, population of these urban zones are being flooded with left wing.......and only left wing......propaganda.

Second step is before you can make changes to election laws, you have to be in a position to make changes. If the secretary of state that runs elections runs a crooked game, you can't beat it. So first incremental step is to get a good guy in there and then get started making changes to election laws so you got a chance. PA, AZ, NV and WI come to mind.

Seems to me that Minnesota went down hill , after Obama sent all the refugees there.

Wellstone brought em here before that

Mn was a purple state until Somalia moved here. We had liberal conservatives and conservative liberals, it wasn't ideal but it was politically bearable and we had a chance at sending a one R senator to DC, now it's blue with little chance of redemption.

And 79 percent of those voters voted for dufus.

Dufus should have been very vulnerable the GOP selected candidate wasn't the best choice to run IMHO and gave me great pause.

I'm going to have to sell my body grippers and snares. It will be a miracle if we can still in use them on land in 2 years. Forget about nonresident trapping.

Hate to say it men, Im deeply concerned
