I'm in MN and the roots of corruption run deep.. you think 80% of MN didn't want and vote for Jensen last fall? He just shrugged, rolled over and swallowed the loss with No peep of election fraud.. sickens me to no end
I live in MN too and no, I don't think that 80% of the state voted for Jensen. The problem with the MNGOP is that it continues to believe in its heart of hearts that the fruitcakes in the Twin Cities are going to start voting Republican. Lately the U.S. Congressmen from the four MN Republican House districts wrote a letter complaining of the atrocities of the MN trifecta government. The MNGOP published this, and I took the opportunity to slap them in the face.

And here was my second comment: Most people, especially Republicans, have no concept of strategy. They think an election involves putting up candidates in every major race and doing a full frontal attack on the enemy. They have no idea that in an unbalanced fight this is suicidal. Depending on who you believe, the DFL has 40 to 50 times the funding of the MNGOP. Even a small child realizes that you don't go up against a schoolyard bully twice your size and start punching him. But the MNGOP leadership does not have the common sense of a small child, and so it puts up candidates for governor, attorney general, and secretary of state. It puts up candidates for U.S. Senate, and tries to win U.S. House seats in utterly hopeless districts CD3, CD4, and CD5. Its chances of winning any of these seats are ZERO, but still it collects money from clueless Republicans across the state, to be flushed down the toilet chasing these impossible dreams. Meanwhile, Republican candidates in WINNABLE state-senate and state-house swing districts go unfunded. So the net effect of the MNGOP is to funnel campaign contributions away from winnable races and into unwinnable ones. I have a theory that the MNGOP is actually an operation of the DFL; after all, for the DFL, funding a mirage opposition party with 1/40 or 1/50 its budget would be trivial. https://dfl.org/press-release/dfl-party-raises-50-times-as-much-as-mngop/
Here was my first comment: This is 100% the fault of the MNGOP, which must have blown millions in 2022 on unwinnable statewide races (e.g. governor) while neglecting the lowly state-senate and state-house races. As a result, we lost the only political asset we had, namely our one-seat state senate majority, which was the only thing standing between us and this rabid DemokkkRAT lunacy. Our loss was due to the MNGOP's perennial delusion that it is going to get nutjob Twin Cities voters to vote Republican. While the MNGOP was buying prime-time TV ads for the governor's race, which we lost by 193,000 votes, it was quietly also losing state-senate races SD41 [by 321 votes] and SD3 [by 704 votes]. A win in either of these districts would have kept our state senate majority and prevented the need for this complaint. I've lived in Minnesota for 12 years and there's been no sane Republican leadership in all that time. At this point Minnesota is a lost cause, but if there is any hope of saving it, we must start by REPLACING THE ENTIRE MNGOP LEADERSHIP with sane people who at very least understand the most rudimentary basics of political strategy. For the past two years the DFL knew exactly what it had to do. Unfortunately the MNGOP didn't: https://minnesotareformer.com/2021/10/11/chief-priority-for-new-senate-dfl-leader-win-back-majority/
... it was like Dr Jensen running for Gov was knowingly apart of a play. Today he continues his speaking arrangements like the election never happened..
I walked away from the DEM party after the 2004 PRES election ... John Kerry said he did not challenge the elections results because he feared being accused of "sour grapes" ... his exact words ... and look at him now!
Total agreement
Too bad you don’t live in Minnesota, we could go fishing together some day and talk about the trifecta of the left ruling Minnesota with an iron fist

Thanks for the education
... it was like Dr Jensen running for Gov was knowingly apart of a play. Today he continues his speaking arrangements like the election never happened..
I walked away from the DEM party after the 2004 PRES election ... John Kerry said he did not challenge the elections results because he feared being accused of "sour grapes" ... his exact words ... and look at him now!
My guess would be his plan was already scheduled at that time
