Not On My Bingo Card
By Mitch Berg
Gotta confess, I didn’t see this coming:
But knowing some of the people involved, and even some recent history, perhaps I should have expected at least some Somali to take umbrage at the sense of entitlement the DFL feels re their votes.
Of course, I’d have to wonder if this endorsement happened after the vast majority of the local Somali population voted early.
Still – if the 5th CD and Minneapolis GOPs can keep this dynamic going – and I have confidence that they can – this could make the municipal elections next year a lot more interesting.

Funny! There was absolutely no coverage of this by the fake news!

I know nothing of Somali immigrant politics but I wonder If there might be two tribes/clans/parties settled in Minneapolis – one that supports Ilhan’s bunch and another which opposes hers? That would be consistent with the history of other immigrant populations who bring their troubles from home when they move to the new country.

It’s a step in the right direction, but until they endorse whomever is running against Ilhan they won’t have learned their lesson.
