Lisa Demuth handily defeats Mike Lindell

Looking back with 20-20 hindsight, it's easy to say that the tipping point in the MNGOP gubernatorial race was when Mike Lindell made a huge unforced mistake by puting out his amnesty plan. At this point with the race declared, Demuth leads Lindell by 45,000+ votes, thereby ending Lindell's political career.

This Alpha News article reports "Lisa Demuth, the speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, won the Republican nomination for governor of Minnesota Tuesday night. Demuth bested MyPillow founder Mike Lindell and retired business executive Kendall Qualls for the nomination." After her primary victory, Speaker Demuth issued a statement which said in part "We began this campaign nine months ago. And the thing I’ve heard over and over from Minnesotans from all walks of life is that people are ready for a fresh start." It's OUR JOB to push the DFL into being responsible again. The DFL of Walter Mondale and Paul Wellstone doesn't exist anymore. Tim Walz is a liar and creepy, too.

Something MUST get said about the polling, too. The last KSTP-SurveyUSA poll told us that Mike Lindell led Lisa Demuth by 6 points. Speaker Demuth won by 11 points. That same poll said that Angie Craig led Peggy Flanagan by 2 point. Craig lost by 20 points. In Wisconsin, Hong was supposed to beat the guy that dropped out, then got back in again, by 10 points. She lost by a point. The week before, Abdul el-Sayed was supposed to win by 11 points. He hung on and won by a point.

Of course, it wouldn't be complete if Mike Lindell didn't question the election results:

It's time Lindell left politics. I don't know what numbers he thinks might be shaky. When Lindell proposed his amnesty plan, it was understood that his support simply cratered. Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Throughout the summer, Lindell maintained a polling lead in the race for the Republican nomination. Additionally, President Donald Trump endorsed Lindell’s campaign in July which further solidified the pillow magnate’s status as the frontrunner for the GOP nomination. However, Lindell released a controversial plan in the final weeks of the primary campaign to give illegal aliens amnesty. Republicans, including Demuth and Qualls, criticized the plan.
That's what cooked Lindell's goose. I don't know Mr. Lindell so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on whether he's a nice guy. What I won't do, though, is say that he's qualified to be governor. He isn't qualified.

Kendall Quall's big mistake

Image
A loyal reader of this blog just sent me a screenshot touting Kendall Qualls. The screenshot is short on truth. What it lacks in truth, it makes up for in fiction. Here's Kendall's fiction: Kendall Qualls should be ashamed for spewing this BS. First, Qualls knows better than this. Jeff Johnson and Lisa Demuth have both confirmed that they're abiding by the Convention's endorsement. This appears to be Qualls attempting to be something he isn't. While I'm not disputing whether Mr. Qualls will abide by the endorsement, I'm calling BS that he's THE ONLY GOP CANDIDATE who will abide by the endorsement. This brings into question whether Mr. Qualls is willing to say anything to win. We don't need another candidate who'll put together fiction to win. We've had too many candidates who fit that description throughout the years. Next, we need people who fit J.C. Watts' description of character. Watts said that "the definition of character is d...

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...
