Somehow I don't think the main factor in which Dayton will sign it or not is what I tell him.
Dayton won't sign it because it screws over some individual Democrats who'll be lobbying him not to. As I said, it does target some areas well, but some of the other moves are just dumb and I could see it failing if all Democrats vote against it along with endangered Republicans.
I'm not commenting on whether, or not, Dayton, will support the map, though if it truly is a dummymander he ought sign the bill. I am commenting on your position. Again, if you truly believe that this is a dummymander, why aren't you supporting the passage of this bill?
The par assumption to make is that you are opposing this bill precisely because it does benefit the Republicans.
No, even if it's a semi-dummymander, Dayton should try to force a neutral or even lean-dem map. It's Minnesota for God sakes, there's no reason to accept an even semi-pro Republican map. Btw, who controls the State Supreme Court there, btw?
