Minnesota Caucuses Offer Warning to Republicans

Minneapolis Star Tribune: “For Republicans, the night offered a clear warning: Low turnout showed the risk of an enthusiasm gap — a potential complacency born of the party’s control of the White House and Congress. With all precincts reporting, almost 11,000 Republicans had participated in the caucus, barely more than half the 20,000 who showed up 2010 and well less than the 14,000 in 2014.”

“On the DFL side, turnout was on its way to 30,000, more than the 22,500 who turned out in 2010, the last time there was an open governor’s race.”

3. Lol! But, WOW! Great news.

I don't know if I'd rather have the midterms today or in November.

There's the danger that Pubs might come to terms with watching the nation they grew up in dismantled by then. There's also a huge possibility (probability?) that some really scary bad things are going to continue to happen, so that we don't just look back at today but up.

COUNTDOWN TO MIDTERMS: 271 days

2. Let us hope turnout in November matches or exceeds that ratio for Team Blue!
