MN-PPP: Close race with Democrats slightly ahead; #DeezNutsmentum

[Skye]

You mean to tell me Virginia leans D while Minnesota is a tossup?

Minnesota is not going to be close.  What are you people smoking?  Is this your first Presidential race or something?

But Minnesota has the potential to be close. The problem here is that people think this is going to be a Clinton win; in which case the prospect of Minnesota being close would certainly make less sense.

That's a tautology.  If an election is close, it's close.  We agree on that.

Any state has the potential to be close.  Right, in theory.  But, it's silly to think that in 2016 Minnesota will be in play because Democrats have a consistent decided advantage.  No Republican has hit 50% in a statewide MN race in over 20 years.  Clinton is a solid candidate and the Republicans have no good candidates.

Everything about the argument was great before that.
