Are we midwestern idiots?

"If we lose this election, when we should win it, I will start telling people I am from Eastern South Dakota instead of Minnesota. Is that a lie? No - just a fantasy." 

We are just over two weeks away from the 2022 midterms. The table is set for a huge sea change in Minnesota. If we look at our landscape, we are a mess. Inflation, crime (oh boy, that is a big one!), Feeding our Future graft (largest ever in this state), and of course, our own insurrection after the Floyd thing. Anybody with a shred of honesty would say the following - WALZ HAS FAILED US. When he and the Boy Mayor of Minneapolis stood on the sidelines and watched a good portion of south Minneapolis burn down. He should have been impeached right there. But he was not. And for his re-election (believe me when I tell you this) - he has a slight lead on Dr. Scott Jensen.

With his lousy report card, how in the world could Walz not be 30 points behind Scott Jensen rather than having a slight lead? Ready for the answer? It is going to hurt. We are midwestern idiots. We will vote for prairie populists like Al Franken, and Garrison Keillor any day of the week. We will vote for Fritz Mondale, Paul Wellstone, Ilhan Omar, Keith Ellingson, Mark Dayton, Jacob Frey, and Taxing Timmy Walz. We are so cowed by the crapola these socialist Democrats spew out on a daily basis, we have become like mind numbed robots. Just remember this - in 1984, we were the ONLY state to vote for Mondale. I rest my case.

Eight years ago, when Jeff Johnson (the most qualified man ever to run for Governor), lost to Mark Dayton, it was beyond shocking. Mark Dayton was only marginally good at being Governor, on his best day. When Jeff and I had coffee before the 2018 election, and he asked if I thought he should run again, I said YES without hesitation! Why? I knew that what happened in the 2014 election had to have been an anomaly. A "one off". Minnesota voters could not be that stupid for a second time to pass on a quality guy like Jeff for a fraud like Walz. I was wrong. Minnesota voters are that stupid.

Nationwide, this is going to be a good election. The slate of candidates in many states look very good for the red team. I will be a red wave for sure. In Minnesota, we also have an election slate of very good Republican candidates, as compared to the misfits they are running against. Should be a landslide for the Republicans.

But unless we have a last minute surge in the polls, the outcome will be status quo for Minnesota. Re-electing substandard candidates, just because of generational habits. Vote blue. Why? Because dad, grandpa, great grandpa and so forth voted blue. Besides, the blue team always promises two chickens in every pot - even though crumbs and corruption is all we get from them.

With our politics, I am ashamed to say I am from here. We are the laughing stock of clear thinking folks in America. If we lose this election, when we should win it, I will start telling people I am from Eastern South Dakota instead of Minnesota. Is that a lie? No - just a fantasy.
