I figured, but people can be weirdly possessive of people from "their state" (even if Bill was the one born there/governor of).

Well, at least Trump can stop saying "I get along with Mitch McConnell and I think I'll get along with Paul Ryan." Now they've actually talked!

"Little Paul, he calls me- he calls me, and he says 'Mr. Trump, here's our plan.' And I said what? What is this plan? It stinks. It stinks. Get it out of here. This plan, this plan here is the worst, I mean the worst plan I have ever seen. Very low energy. These guys have no idea how to make a deal. They have no- no idea what they're doing. So I said to Little Paul, 'Paul, your plan is garbage. It's terrible. The American people don't want it. I am going to write a plan- a big plan. I'm going to write a plan, and it's going to be the best plan you've ever seen. It'll, it'll make your head spin. Believe it.'"

What's way more unsettling to me is the implication that all of those tech oligarchs support the GOP.

Democratic officials, including Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Jason Furman, the chair of Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, Gene Sperling, another top Obama economic adviser, and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, were listed as 2015 attendees, Bloomberg reported at the time.

It's just a business/politics conference, not a republican thing. My guess is it's a lot like a mini davos. So they're all wealthy/out of touch/etc, but not necessarily republicans

obama won minnesota 53-45 in 2012 so if the model saw clinton/sanders (the fact that model apparently considers the two as interchangeable is the silliest thing i'm seeing here btw) and bloomberg as splitting the democratic vote especially evenly there, i can get how minnesota might be the closest trump win

looking at the table of state results sorted by obama's margin of victory here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2012#Results
here are the states that map gives the democrats/denies trump that went for obama by less than he got in minnesota:

new hampshire (???)
nevada

so now i'm thinking the real crazy thing here is pretending a split democratic vote wouldn't hand new hampshire to the republican candidate, especially the republican candidate who won its primary

anyway my point is just that minnesota is about as blue as georgia is red (according to that table). in fact if you did the inverse of my map the other night where i simulated a romney candidacy by giving him utah and giving clinton every state obama lost by less than 10%, i.e. if you gave trump every state romney lost by less than 10%, the only differences between that and nate's model here would be that trump would also get nevada, new hampshire, michigan, and maine's 2nd congressional district

presumably that difference arises from some analysis of where republican voters would go to bloomberg as well. i guess he sees a lot of live free or die republicans voting for st michael the big gulp slayer
