@GreggJohns70699@KSTP Agree to disagree. Campaigns are about optics and building enthusiasm. It’s a missed opportunity. So you’re saying all other candidates are not “classy?” Weird.
@jacob_mauren@KSTP Primaries are very difficult to survey in open primary states. Large numbers of undecideds and voters can crossover to either primary. Big numbers of undecideds went to Demuth and Flanagan.
@therealtks@Jojo42431667 You should ask why it disappeared from the legislative auditor’s radar? And state lawmaker radars? Governor? AG? It’s rarely the messenger’s fault…we’re just an easy target. We did stories in 2011, 2017, ‘20, ‘22, ‘24, ‘25, ‘26. That’s just one cursory look at our archives.
Coming up on At Issue, pre-primary analysis of the key statewide races in MN. Plus, what impact will President Trump’s low approval ratings have on the primary and general elections? See you at 10 on Ch. 5 @kstp
