How can Minnesota be in play?

If it's in play, then so is Missouri for HRC (polls have shown Dumpf up there by 5%-15%). Gore only won Minnesota by about 2% over the chimp, Nader took a lot of votes from Gore, does the Dumpf campaign think Stein will take enough votes away from HRC?

When KellyAnne Conjob says it is because they have internal polling... blah blah blah.

Remember that this is the campaign that stopped paying their internal polling people about a month ago and they owe them something like $220,000.

It's at the Sun Country Airlines hangar at the airport (MSP), which nobody knows how to get to. It's an abnormally beautiful day here, and everybody is out walking around the lakes. Will there be a yuuge turnout? Probably not. Trump's supporters in this state do not, for the most part, live in Minneapolis. http://kstp.com/politics/trump-minnesota-rally-minneapolis-stpaul-international-airport-sun-country-airlines-nov-6/4311277/

Many of those who aren't outside enjoying the 70-degree weather will be watching the game on TV if they aren't at it. On MSNBC I am now seeing a live shot of Trump's plane arriving at MSP. Hard to tell how much of a crowd there is.
