Almost 40,000 MN DFLers participated in this party endorsement process, which played out over 4 months, all over the state.
Both candidates worked hard to earn it. Rep. Craig even asked super PACs to run ~$3M of ads to delegates.
Why would her team attack it now? You decide...
"Circular firing squad":
Democrats' Minnesota convention is this weekend -- Craig v. Flanagan -- and Dems really don't want these events to turn out like Michigan's spectacle with boos, jeers and a circus-like atmosphere
Slotkin: “I’m kind of done with Democrats being a circular firing squad when we’ve got Trump in the White House doing what he’s doing. I think he’s more than happy to have Democrats at each other’s throats.”
Are these conventions brewing a new tea party or firing Dems up for November?
- Craig supporter and MN D strategist Joe Radinovich: “I’m perilously close to devoting the rest of my life to seeing these conventions ended."
- Flanagan campaign says its poised to win DFL and conventions “one of the few places in politics where grassroots organizing and talking directly to voters still matters more than money"
