This one shows more of the action on the St. Croix:
Given the number of lakes here in Minnesota, and the strong support for President Trump in the areas that are most boat-intensive, I am sure there were others as well. I didn’t participate in yesterday’s parade, but a couple of weekends ago I did cruise on Lake Minnetonka with a conservative group, and we flew Trump flags. Contrary to what you might infer from the newspapers, Trump supporters are everywhere:
As far as I know, the only place where any boats sank yesterday was Austin, Texas. Trust the Star Tribune to single that event out for a report, rather than those much, much closer to home! By the way, I am happy to lead a group of Minnesotans down to Lake Travis to give Texas Republicans some boating lessons. All we ask in return is a couple of free beers at the Oasis.
UPDATE: Friends are sending me photos and videos of yesterday’s parades. This drone shot shows the extent of the boat parade on the St. Croix:
This one took place last weekend on Lake Carlos near Alexandria, in northern Minnesota, an area that Trump will sweep:
These aerial shots are a reminder of what a great place Minnesota could be, if we ever got our taxes down.
