Democrats winning without Minnesota, which can happen if the Democrats win Florida and 2/3 of Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. I find it hard to see how Republicans win without Georgia unless they win Florida without Georgia.

Do you really think Democrats can win Florida and lose Minnesota?

Also keep in mind, even if Florida flipped in 2016, Hillary still would have lost.

In the future, yes. Why is that so hard to believe? This idea that Minnesota can't be won by Republicans is really getting old.
They haven't won it since 1972 and they got btfo in the midterms. Even a black Muslim wife-beater Democrat dealing with a third party challenge won because he had the (D) next to his name.

It's not exactly impressive that Democrats won a slightly left of center state in a Republican president's midterm. The fact that's black and Muslim doesn't do anything to make him less electable, despite what every liberal will believe. It more had to do with being ideologically extreme during his time in Congress, but of course, the white rural folks are racist so that matters more I guess.

And yes, it hasn't voted Republican since '72, but it's a lucky streak more than anything. Eventually, luck will run out. It voted more Republican than the nation in 2016, and it's no sure thing that it'll swing back in 2020 or 2024.
46 years of voting democratic is “luck”, but a one election trend with two horrible outlier candidates is a “trend”.

The fact that it was the Democratic nominee's home state in the biggest landslide since '72 and he won it by a few thousand votes is pretty lucky if you ask me. And you think 2016 was an outlier? Well, all I have to say is see you after 2020.
I will when I’m laughing at this prediction.
