The interesting thing is that how history remembers Trump is largely going to depend on a thousand voters in like 2-3 different states. If he wins, he will be remembered as a controversial lightening rod that had an iron fist control of the Republican Party and reformed the party and changed how modern politics are viewed and practiced. He will be a significant President historically. However, if he loses, he will be branded a loser and the Republican party will move away from him.
@Ubiquitin @durvasa Prove it then because I just provided you a link to direct Census data that does not show this. Not one year in the 1990s did Minnesota have negative out-migration and the 90s was the first decade this stat was recorded by the Census. Each year MN was in the positive, so I'd be curious to see where you're finding there are years it was negative in that decade. Then you say COVID accelerated this, but why didn't metro areas like Boise lose people the same way the Twin Cities did? Sure Boise is warmer but it definitely isn't a sunbelt city. Why has Montana and South Dakota had less than a handful of years losing people through out-migration since the 90s? Similar thing for North Dakota and Wyoming as well. Now onto Florida and Arizona. You're right that Florida receives a large portion of its domestic migration from retirees, but this is less true in Arizona which has more of a migrating pattern (there in the winter, gone in the summer). Most of Arizona's domestic migrants are singles/families moving from California and the PNW. I'm not sure what you mean by the Minnesota/Houston comparison. Texas has depopulating areas through out-migration (like Beaumont), but as a whole it is not depopulating. Texas is gaining in all 3 components of growth, unlike Minnesota, so can you explain what you're trying to say here? It honestly doesn't make sense to me and I'm not trying to be rude. To me, the increases in out-migration under Walz is, even tangentially, due to him/his policies. He certainly didn't help to reverse the trend.
Who said it was "likely"? What about this is supposed to be bad and scare people away from Harris/Walz?
republicans - radical extremist Tim Walz wanted to restore voting rights to convicted felons that had served their time *republican nominee that is running for President is a convicted felon so according to MAGAts, felons shouldn’t be allowed to vote, but they should be allowed to be President brilliant
I also don’t think Walz not serving in Iraq is going to mean anything. He started in 1981!!, he was in the national guard, and he was a 40+ year old man at that point when he is being berated by conservatives for not fighting in Iraq. Vance said he was in the marines. He was in Iraq as a combat correspondent for six months in late 2005. He later went to Ohio State, Yale Law, wrote a best selling book, and became a senator. He was still a marine. Swiftboating worked against Kerry but it won’t work against either VP candidate this time.
Trump literally faked bone spurs u just gotta laugh at MAGA at this point because they have the high ground on nothing
Trump was in those Epstein flight logs so much, he might as well have been the one who owned the plane
The more Republicans keep hysterically preaching to their own choir about Walz, the better it is for Democrats and their efforts to win Independent voters and the battleground states.
The closest I have ever planned to be to Minnesota was the time I had to go to Madison, WI in the 2000s. I like Walz politics (I am a huge fan of universal school lunch), but I could not care less about the states of Minnesota (or Ohio (Vance), Pennsylvania (Shapiro), or Arizona (Kelly)). I have zero desire to be a tourist in any of those states.

This would be more effective if Vance was the top of the ticket. Or a Bush style republican. But it’s contrasted to Trump.
