    In addition to losing Peterson's seat, Dems are probably not going to win the State Senate. And this is a longer term problem. The DFL used to do really well in rural Minnesota (until Trump showed up). Trump has really unlocked some messaging that works. The DFL is basically dead now in Northwestern Minnesota and Southwest Minnesota. And once the Iron Range senators retire, they'll probably lose those seats too. Peterson's loss is an extreme example but there are huge implications down ballot from this.

    The bigger problem is that its only going to get harder to cobble together consistent legislative majorities unless this trend is reversed. The DFL will be fine statewide but getting any consistent control of the legislature will require a Democratic gerrymander at this rate because we're losing the ability to win anything in rural Minnesota.

    You can't just look at the topline and think things are fine. This was a bad night for Democrats in Minnesota (even though Biden won comfortably). We had a clear shot at full control of government and somehow flubbed it because Trump called Democrats socialists enough times.

    If so, he should maintain his post and keep saying, "no, I won't do that... sir."

    Trump's actions now could help or hurt the GOP's chances of controlling the Senate, no? Too bad he's not a team player.

    I was listening to NPR yesterday and Barton Gellman of the Atlantic was talking about this type of scenario. Great listen, I encourage you all to listen.

    https://www.npr.org/2020/11/04/9313...ection-is-a-stress-test-of-american-democracy

    Here is some other scenarios he laid out in this article.

    A month ago, my dad said he dreamed that America would get nuked. He was dead serious and wanted us to find a bunker. No joke.
