2021 Verbal: Cole Payton

[ByeSonBusiness]

The Red River Valley should be it's own state. I don't want to be governed by Bismarck or St Paul.

Consider yourself blessed (if you live in ND).

Lakes would get elected with this reduction. Just so you know.

He lives in MN lake country. Assuming, however, that he lived in RRV, I can’t imagine the gerrymandering that would be required that could result in someone getting elected by there own, 1 vote, but spose it could happen.

I don't. I live in MN. For a very loooooooong time. I consider myself... well, a citizen exercising their free will.

And no, the RRV should not be its own state. Unless they are willing to accept the very harsh consequences.

What 'very harsh consequences?'

I take MN over ND 10 times out of 10. North Dakota, especially out west, is a cesspool.

Financially, it is an economic wash whether you live in NoDak or Minnesota. One of the reasons I continue to live in NoDak is I can be a big fish in a small pond and in a somewhat small way, make a difference. I would be lost in the shuffle of all the people in Minnesota. Plus I think NoDak residents are more salt of the earth.

Seems a bit harsh?

You've been to MSP, right?

Huge understatement, actually.

Edit: pretending MSP is some horror show just makes you look like a cowardly idiot.

[Bison Bridge Guy]

Huge understatement, actually.

This Cole Payton discussion is amazing!
