A number of Democrat mayors from Minnesota endorsed President Donald Trump for a second term on Friday as Vice President Mike Pence campaigns in the state.
"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," the letter, signed by Virginia Mayor Larry Cuffe, Chisholm Mayor John Champa, Ely Mayor Chuck Novak, Two Harbors Mayor Chris Swanson, Eveleth Mayor Robert Vlaisavljevich and Babbitt Mayor Andrea Zupancich, states.
Trump Lands Major Endorsements From Democrat Mayors in Minnesota
I have been saying this for years, the former Democratic Party has left me, I didn't leave it and the sooner we get rich of the radicals all over this country the better off we will all be. No more violence in the cities, no more racial lies, no more diverting blame and finally a country getting back to its roots, Equal opportunity, NOT equal outcome, law and order![/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR]

Haha, these "Democrat mayors" must be dumbasses.
Only person who has been putting tariffs on products is Trump, shows how ignorant this person is.
Taking on China for currency manipulation and stealing intellectual properties has worked hurting China a lot more than they have hurt us. Really bothers you to see actual good Democrats getting the message. The Trump pre pandemic economic results were ignored by you and the left who hoped for political points generated by an economic shutdown due to the pandemic. This article and improving poll numbers show that your arguments hold no water. The alternative is Biden/Harris and that is what you divert from
I see you didn't address how this one "Democrat mayor" got it wrong, instead you divert to how awesome Trump is for putting tariffs on Chinese goods. How has that worked out so far?
And hundreds of former Republicans, including military, intelligence and former Bush officials are not only endorsing Biden, they are voting for him..
It was only a matter of time before we started to see splinters of these parties consider alternatives.
No matter if we are talking about this instance of "Democratic Mayors of Minnesota" or groups like the Lincoln Project what we are seeing is political polarization send more people into considering the other side, let alone what this is doing to Independents who have been stuck in the middle for decades now.
To any moderate for either party, the extreme of that party pushes them out.
The sad irony is Republicans looking to Biden or Democrats looking to Trump both are going to find the same problem, neither side really cares much for the middle class. Tariffs and various government interference harmed plenty of businesses and farmers, taxation and regulations to the hills and back are going to harm the same group.
This is our nation today, destroyed by political duopoly that has filtered its way down to economic turbulence on repeat for everyone and social chaos city to city dominated by violence and destruction.
... about those history book entries I keep talking about.
Here is your problem, Trump has generated results for the middle class but the left supporters for Biden aren't the middle class, they are the elite who benefit from keeping people dependent. Trump's pre pandemic policies generated 6.6 million NEW taxpayers in 3 years, 900 billion dollars per year in GDP growth, 10000 point gain in the stock market benefiting middle class 401K holders, generated record state and local revenue from sales and property taxes, historic low unemployment for minorities all data that the left wants to ignore
I haven't seen a valid reason to vote for Biden, and these Democratic mayors gave you the reason to vote for Trump, that is the way debate works, opinions never trump actual data and facts
Then the pandemic hit and most of that is a memory.

At least one told me that Biden put tariffs on their goods. That is 100% false. That is Trump. Are falsehoods your alternative facts?
And regardless of how many times you and others want to blame Trump for what you claim is a failed response, the American people are waking up to the false rhetoric from people like you and the politics of personal destruction. Hatred isn't going to drive people to the polls, violence in the cities will. 24/7 anti Trump rhetoric isn't going to drive people to the polls, liberal results will. There is no justification for voting for Biden therefore why are you still ignoring that reality and always diverting from the Biden/Harris resume?

I find it amusing that the tattooed street thugs in the NBA decry all of the injustices they pretend to care about, but live the way they live.
They accept the huge paydays, but let their neighborhoods of origin decay.
They complain that economic outcomes dictated by systemic racism are tragic, but allow the NBA to be outrageously out of balance racially compared to "what America looks like".
Regardless of how wealthy they might have been growing up, they are far more wealthy now. Does this NOT destroy any claim of hardship they might assert?
There SHOULD be youth centers with tutoring, counseling, job placement and community rebuilding energetically driven by the NBA in EVERY INNER CITY. Where are they?
Hypocrites!
Instead, they decry the injustices they ignore and allow to fester while they piss on my flag.
I'm over it! I'm over them!
Can you quantify "the American people are waking up to the false rhetoric" with something we can substantiate and talk about?
Or is going after every single DP member here your only tactic?
I see you didn't address how this one "Democrat mayor" got it wrong, instead you divert to how awesome Trump is for putting tariffs on Chinese goods. How has that worked out so far?
Insiders never change their spots. Insiders don't represent the values of the American people, the mayors in this article gave reasons for their support for trump, you have yet to give any valid reason to vote for Biden
And hundreds of former Republicans, including military, intelligence and former Bush officials are not only endorsing Biden, they are voting for him..
Does it really matter? How many times do I have to post private sector results before they resonate? My daily tactic is to counter your opinions and rhetoric with verifiable data from bea.gov, bls.gov, and treasury.org. Then there is that little thing called the Constitution which the left wants to call a living document that can be changed by personal opinions and feelings. The reality is every claim you have made against Trump is opinion driven, not result driven. You like far too many cannot offer one valid thing Trump has personally done that has hurt you or your family to justify this hatred you have for him
Once again pretending you and Trump represent most of the American People.
This is your solid reminder you don’t and you never will.
No, I asked for something that quantified "the American people are waking up to the false rhetoric." That means some sort of numeric, polling, something that suggests a strong uptick in support for Trump.
The bea.gov, bls.gov, and treasury.org know nothing about all that.
