The odd confluence

"The Goofy Governor said with only two years left on his term, he really needs to have a DFL cabal in St. Paul so they can once again go hog wild."

Sorry. Did not mean to use the term "odd" when talking about our Governor. As we know, he certainly is not an oddity! (HA!) So why in the world would I be wanting to discuss the Governor this morning as he is not up for re-election? Because he is front and center of one of the biggest snafus in the history of our country.

Sometimes I wonder if Red Star is aware of the irony they often put in the paper. Today for example, was a very interesting article about some poor family who recently found out next year they are going to have to pay $33,000 for health care! And that is they are lucky. If they wait too long to sign up, they might get thrown into another exchange and have to pay more! As we all know, this is ObamaCare imploding right in front of our eyes. And MNSure is firmly attached to ObamaCare at the hip.

Also in the paper this morning was a story about our Goofy Governor traveling the state, telling the huddled masses they need to throw those Republican bums out of office. That the DFL not only needs to retain the Senate, but also retake the House. The Goofy Governor said with only two years left on his term, he really needs to have a DFL cabal in St. Paul so they can once again go hog wild.

Yes, if they could just get rid of that darn old Kurt Daudt and replace him with Paul Thissen, their world would be be complete. They could fix ObamaCare and the very expensive MNSure. The best way to do it? Raise the top rate for state income tax to 15% or so. As we know, the rich need to pay their fair share!

Sarcasm is now over. The bottom line is this - Dayton was one of the biggest cheerleaders for ObamaCare when it was being hatched. He was a driver behind the failed MNSure. His fingerprints are all over this mess we know call heath care. And now he wants to screw with it again. And the last time he raised the top income tax rate to almost 10%, it set off a stampede of folks out of the state.

If the Republicans are smart, they will keep this albatross called ObamaCare, the love child of the Democrats. The DFL has NOBODY to blame but themselves but themselves for this mess. My opinion? This issue alone should hand the Presidency to Trump, the Minnesota Senate to the Republicans, and in two years, also the Governor.
