Six Democrat Mayors In Minnesota Endorse Trump For Reelection: Dems Moved Too Far Left’

55 Republicans Endorsed Clinton. 188 have Endorsed Biden. 6 small town Mayors in MN is hardly a windfall.

So where did the “smart people” go? It’s certainly not the cities. Just look at how they are run.

Yes, that’s the Fox narrative, that cities are burning embers. Yet, real estate prices in most cities are high, which indicated high demand. Cities in America are run quite well with plenty of services.

So you ignore what’s happening in our cities? Keep it up, even those in the towns know why its happening and they don’t want dim sanctioned destruction.

So many misrepresentations in one sentence.

First, nobody is "sanctioning" destruction, which I know is contrary to the Republican narrative. Every responsible Democrat in office has denounced rioting and looting.
Second, reports, such as those on Fox, exaggerate the mayhem for political reasons.
Third, I find it odd that there was no rioting or looting during the Obama years but Trump insists that to settle the rioting and looting, that cropped up on his watch via his catalyst, he should be re-elected.

I thought leftists would drop that word considering the Hillary is still getting mocked for it. I think another Dem divider will lose the election. The people are fed up with it.

The leftists are rioting, looting, murdering, assaulting, etc, and Trump is the catalyst? How do you explain that?

These are White Men.... and likely of the deep right leaning Democrat's, as if to say a throwback to Dixiecrat Ideology... They would do best to go back and learn truths they have ignored... but they won't, they are 'white men", groomed to be of the general white male mentality. They buy into Republican spin, when fact is if not for Obama and Biden, they would have a more devastated region. They don't look back at the 8 yrs of Bush when the only thing America produced was "Wars"... and the fast escalation of exportation of industry and increased importation of anything and everything.

They can talk and try to put up fictitious claims about the economy, when they have done nothing about improving it themselves, they think its a cover as to why they go for Trump, but beneath it all... They don't like the Marches for Equality, in Life, Business, Industry, Politics, and Laws and Changes that BLM is promoting to bring Equality and Fairness.

Prime example of: The mentality of racist white men. (These mentality of white men should NEVER have a position of power and authority over anything or anyone, and certainly not in law enforcements.

He's as vile as the Chief of Police in Kenosha, Wisconsin

You sound like a Childs mind with the "Trumpism labeling"..

Right Wing White Conservative people should go back and find out who owned and who stagnated and regressed and who outsourced the Ore Processing...
If you go back far enough, you will find it was Richard Nixon and his praise of Opening Up China... and the first thing he endorsed being exported to China was ORE PROCESSING.

White men as yourself just can't face the truth, and will not do the research work to learn the truth, that "Conservative Minded White Men".... are to blame.

You hedged your bets by saying ""Every responsible Democrat" and I can understand why.

I do often wonder about the abysmal level of computer skills shown by the responses posted by some who appear here in the forums.

from the NewsPunch article linked in the OP, a paragraph from a statement signed by the six mayors
Like many in our region, we have voted for Democrats over many decades. We have watched as our constituents’ jobs left not only the Iron Range, but our country. By putting tariffs on our products and supporting bad trade deals, politicians like Joe Biden did nothing to help the working class. We lost thousands of jobs, and generations of young people have left the Iron Range in order to provide for their families with good paying jobs elsewhere. Today, we don’t recognize the Democratic Party. It has been moved so far to the left it can no longer claim to be advocates of the working class. The hard-working Minnesotans that built their lives and supported their families here on the Range have been abandoned by radical Democrats. We didn’t choose to leave the Democratic Party, the party left us.

First - any person who makes the claim that past administrations had "put tariffs on our products" is either totally ignorant about international commerce or lying - those are the only two possibilities.

Second - It was the Obama administration which increased tariffs on Chinese steel back in 2015.

Third - the Iron Range has been losing jobs since the '60s as automation increased along with the sheer size of the equipment being used - just one example, the size of trucks used to carry ore rocks out a mine, means fewer truck drivers are needed.

The Caterpillar 789D is a touch larger than the average pickup truck. Armed with a quad-turbocharged diesel engine that cranks out 2,100 horsepower and 6,400 pounds-feet of torque at a lazy 1,800 rpm peak, it's a bit more powerful, too.

The mining hauler may not be the largest dump truck on the planet, but it is sizable with 200 tons of payload capacity available in the rear-dump bed (the largest trucks can haul double that). It would take more than 165 Ford F-150 4x4 pickups to equal the same mass as a 789D hauling rock.​

Oh yeah - computer skills. typing the words democratic mayors support trump took longer than the search time -0.45 sec.

I've been in Duluth, stayed there for a couple months after doing the Trans-Superior Yacht Race a couple years ago. Yes, the Scandinavian heritage of the region has produced some beautiful women. Sorry, got sidetracked thinking about one of them. Duluth is the closest major city to the Iron Range so when I looked at the results of my google search, I chose the Duluth newspaper for the story. Some interesting tidbits to be read in their article.

Iron Range mayors pitch Trump with Pence

As the vice president spoke at the Clure Public Marine Terminal on Friday, six Iron Range mayors voiced their approval with a well-timed endorsement letter.

A cast of Iron Range mayors didn’t upstage Vice President Mike Pence in Duluth on Friday, but a couple of them did take the stage with him — signaling their support for the Trump-Pence ticket in the most dramatic moment in a day heavy with conservative values.

“There’s many people in northern Minnesota who truly are Republicans,” Two Harbors Mayor Chris Swanson said, describing a blurring of what had once been solid Democrat country. “They truly understand what’s going on.”

Swanson joined five other Range mayors in timing their Trump endorsement with Pence’s arrival at the Clure Public Marine Terminal.

“I’m seeing people come our way every single day,” Pence told a crowd of more than 250 supporters, who provided Pence with a series of standing ovations throughout a 50-minute address.

250+ supporters is not much of a crowd for a talk by the Vice President of the United States. Duluth's population is approximately 86,000

Please keep believing that. It worked so well last time you used it.

One of the chief areas where the USA has a distinct shortage of skilled workers is in coding.

Indeed. Even basic coding and coding principles that are easy for anyone to learn can make a huge impact to your employability and carrier potential.

As for these older Iron Range folks; they served a purpose at one point. They learned the "coding" skill of their day and that specialization and efficiency benefited the whole country. They certainly can't be left to rot like the iron they once mined.

I would be fine just paying them to do nothing. But if they want to dig holes for the money, that works, too.

As for the younger ones, they need to wake up (or be woken up by folks who know better) and realize there is not now, and likely never will again, be any money in their parents' dying industry. They need to get the skills that matter today for the jobs that actually exist and not the ones their parents have brainwashed them into wishing existed.

The Democrats in NYC sure don't care, but Democrats in Minnesota had BETTER care. That is news in Minnesota. The sentiment those Mayors have could be the tip of the state's iceberg.

Can the Dems afford to lose Minnesota's 10 electoral votes? Hillary won the state in 2016 by 1.5%. How many Dems voting for Trump would it take for Trump to win the state in 2020.

Yes. This IS newsworthy.

This is northern Minnesota which went strongly fir Rrump last time. I strongly suspect many of these mayors are also on the ballot this year. And the population of all of these towns put together is less than a couple of suburbs combined.. Mist of them have hockey arenas that hold the whole town plus two or three of other nearby towns..

Sorry to ruin your wet dream, but Trump us about as popular on the Twin Cities Metro as a pile of dirty diapers. He coukd get 100 percent or more in these towns without even making a dent.
