5. "Democrats have been in denial for a long time that this is a state that's on the edge of flipping,"

Prof. Schultz is interviewed for a lot of local politics stories, and he's a very smart man. But I have to wonder how he sees this when the DFL swept all the statewide races in 2018, even the race for Attorney General where a black Muslim man who was the victim of a domestic abuse smear campaign STILL won.

Hillary was perfectly qualified to be president, but she was unappealing to a lot of MN voters. That's the only thing that kept 2016 close. Trump got about 2000 votes more than Romney did in 2012, but Hillary received 200,000 votes LESS than Obama got that year.
