Do Republicans stand a chance against Senator Tina Smith?

If it was a special election, they might as well try. Since it's happening at the same time as all the others, they shouldn't bother. Way better targets to focus on.

Well, it is a special election, if one that's occurring with the rest of the 2018 elections.

Clearly I meant if it was standalone.

If 2018 is anything like we're expecting it to be, then no.

Even if 2018 goes poorly for Democrats, I think Smith is favored.

[President Johnson]

Not in a Trump midterm.

[Minnesota Mike]

State Senator Karin Housley is not a bad B level candidate, probably better than Pawlenty with all his baggage ,  but in this environment this remains a Likely Democrat seat. Unless someone wages a bloody primary against Smith (seems unlikely) or she makes a serious blunder (first time running on her own so it's possible) she should win.

Yaaaaaassss ! Bachmann is exactly what 2018 was missing. She could barely keep her safe R seat.

What's the floor for Republicans in statewide Minnesota elections?

Can’t wait for this nut-job to be beaten into a pulp by the ex-Vice president of Planned Parenthood!

Bachmann is just the amount of crazy we've been missing but have come to expect in the Trump era. I hope she wins the primary because Sen. Smith would eat her alive. I can't wait.

Good riddance.

Also, at this point, it doesn’t matter who the GOP nominated in MN. Smith and Klobuchar will both win.

franken.senate.gov is still up.

Oh, and can Michele please run? Ultralib Planned Parenthood employee Smith crushing her would be fantastic to watch.

Mark Kennedy, who represented Bachmann's district before she did, got 37% running against Klobuchar in 2006. The rural areas have gotten more Republican since then, so the floor nowadays is probably around 40%, and Bachmann would probably get around 42% running against Smith.

I enjoyed watching Mike Pence swearing-in the former VP of Planned Parenthood.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

The Republican floor in Minnesota is 30.5% as of 2012: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_election_in_Minnesota,_2012
