Another thing to consider: MN, which ought to be a gimme, looks like it will be very close. Clinton looks to carry it by a slim margin.

But here is the important part: She is losing all over the state except in the urban area (Minneapolis city proper, and the county that includes St. Paul) and the far NE (which, after all, is almost Canada.)

Yet in those same parts of the state, voters are sending back Democratic congressmen.

This, I propose, is where those large “negatives” of Clinton came into play. I don’t know if it was the Comey thing or not that reinforced “criminal” Hillary in the minds of voters.

The Democratic Congressmen are winning by very small margins. But at least they are winning.

There is a couple who normally vote for Democrats in my parish. They voted for Trump out of hatred and fear of Clinton.

~30 years of propaganda takes a toll on truth.
