In reply to the discussion: Gillibrand Hires New Aide, Signaling Presidential Run Is Imminent [View all]LakeSuperiorView
(1,533 posts)The OP is about a possible presidential candidate, you made the awkward comment that Minnesota "almost" voted for Trump (Hint: almost doesn't count in winner take all contests) and I said "most reliable blue state for President". Which kind of squarely centers this discussion around Presidential elections.
I clearly stated that Minnesota voted once for a Republican in the last 50 years, if one understand that 3 is 3 times more than 1...
If you want to broaden the conversation, we can talk about how the New York state senate pissed away the Democratic majority with the Independent Democratic Conference that collaborated with Republicans...
I ask again, which is the more Republican state? The one that helped elect three Republican presidents and has "Democratic" state senators that worked with the Republican party? Or the one that only voted for a Republican once (where the only state that didn't was Mass.) Big hint for you: Facts are not on your side.
Gillibrand is a fine Senator and I hope you keep her for a very long time as your senator.
