Michele Tafoya, John Thune vs. Peggy Flanagan, DFL talking points edition

It's obvious that Peggy Flanagan is attached to her DFL talking points script no matter how foolish she looks regurgitating them. This MPR article highlights the fact that Lt. Gov. Flanagan isn't a top-tier candidate. MPR reports "Meanwhile, Democratic nominee Peggy Flanagan applied more pressure on Tafoya to break from President Donald Trump on the war with Iran. Flanagan, the state’s two-term lieutenant governor, appeared in Brooklyn Park after a weekend campaign trip through west-central Minnesota."

Whoever writes Lt. Gov. Flanagan's talking points should get fired IMMEDIATELY! This Alpha News article reports "GOP Senate candidate Michele Tafoya calls for Iran War to end 'quickly and strategically.'"

Apparently, Lt. Gov. Flanagan isn't proficient in reading. Tafoya just broke with President Trump on a major issue. That's something Lt. Gov. Flanagan never did when she was in the legislature. If, God forbid, Lt. Gov. Flanagan is elected to the Senate, she'll be the dutiful little soldier, doing whatever the Democrat leader tells her to do. The notion that she'd challenge Democrat leadership is silly.

Despite being a rare open-seat race, Minnesota has not been very high on the national map for either party. Since the primary, relatively little outside money has flowed in. That stands in contrast to the tens of millions of dollars deployed to battleground Michigan, Ohio and Iowa in the region. Even Kansas has risen on the radar, with Republicans now spending heavily to protect an incumbent.

What a slantetd piece of writing. Anyone that's covered politics knows thaat you protect incumbents first. Further, Michele has gotten funding from the GOP 'alphabets':

Further, MPR might want to check this out:

Thune and Tafoya visited Cambria, where they met with company leadership and workers before participating in an agricultural roundtable with farmers hosted by the Minnesota Farm Bureau, which has endorsed Tafoya’s campaign. The visit also included a fundraiser for Tafoya’s campaign that raised nearly $300,000.

That's a hefty chunk of campaign cash that the Senate Majority Leader helped her raise. It's interesting that MPR implies that Tafoya isn't supported because she's raising lots of local money. What type of events did Flanagan participate in? I'm betting the ranch Flanagan's events weren't roundtable discussions with blue collar workers. Flanagan's events might've had blue collar workers attend but I can't picture her participating in a roundtable discussion.

He acknowledged that Minnesota is not often thought of as a state where Republican candidates have “a great opportunity for success.” This year, however, Republicans "have an extraordinary candidate" while Democrats have "nominated somebody that is so far left on the political spectrum and owns all of the polices of this previous administration. If you’re a voter of Minnesota and you care at all about good government, the level of fraud that’s been part of the Walz-Flanagan administration has been second to none," he said. "I think a lot of voters here in Minnesota are going to want to see that cleaned up."

There's definitely a high amount of frustration in Minnnesota, partly due to fraud, partly due to criminal activities that've gone unpunished, partly over the DFL's trans agenda.
