when you look @2018- Dem governor+ 2 dem senate wins - but they are still going to try
Hope locals are ready to protest with impeachment vibes

In Minneapolis he's about as popular as a case of inflamed hemorrhoids (one might say he is an inflamed hemorrhoid). Will they bus in a bunch of MAGAts from Stearns County?

Trying to think if there would be a way to fill up every parking space in and near downtown. Then he really would have to bus them in from St. Cloud & Western WI. But then the Trumpers could also use the light rail (The horror).

It would be worth a few bucks to go downtown that evening just to take up a parking spot. Parking is horrendous there even on a good day so the Trumpers might just give up and go home.

so his followers were be looking for parking places at rush hour (and he'll be tying up traffic when people are trying to get out Mpls)

Plus, I haven't seen the Twins playoff schedule yet, but it is not out of the realm of possiblity that they will be playing on October 10. If they are, let's hope it's an "away" game.

40,000 overly excited Twins fans fighting with the Trump cult for parking would not be pretty. (My money is on the Twins crowd)

The schedule doesn't say either where or what time. Regardless of where the game is, with scarce parking and bad traffic and road construction, downtown Minneapolis will be a complete goatfuck. The knuckledraggers from CD-6 might just give up, just stuck sitting in traffic in their Hummers and pickup trucks with TruckNutz and Confederate flags.
