I'd like Minnesota better but:

1. Republicans have already had some success in legislative races, but even their better performances haven't resulted in any overwhelming successes.

2. Usually states where political power implodes for the dominant power see it slipping away ahead of time at the presidential level, and the implosion is mainly from the legislative/state results catching up to how voters had been voting for president for years already. Minnesota didn't even go for Trump, and in 2000 it went for Gore by similar margin as Clinton, so if anything, it just seems like status quo there.

IMO, there just aren't any good candidates for Democratic implosion-states. Republicans have already claimed all the states that were due for that under Obama.

I question if #2 is some indisputable political *truth* or rather something we all just assume will always happen because it did once in such an important and dramatic (and drawn out) event: Southern Whites abandoning the Democratic Party.
