I am ok with Republicans running Bachmann. But, I see what you did. I have my doubts, too.

She came very close to losing her own extreme right-wing district a couple of times. Ordinarily I'd say she would have no chance of winning a statewide election.

But given how close Trump came to carrying the state, I don't know.

We, Democrats, though that Trump would be the ideal opponent, who would vote for him?

and the DFL turn out in the metro was lower than expected.

Between what's happened in the last year & Bachmann I think the DFL turnout would be strong and a good many independents would go our way as well.

Bachmann could be our best chance of hanging on to the seat.
