LOL!! Trump is not yet on the Minnesota presidential ballot...

Donald Trump is not yet on the Minnesota presidential ballot, according to KARE-TV.

As Gateway Pundit notes, the Minnesota Republican party has until August 29 to file but it’s not clear they will have time to file the necessary paperwork

Sure, Trump has virtually no chance of winning Minnesota but to lose because he's not on the ballot, even if his own party screwed up, will diminish the legitimacy of Hillary Clinton's victory.

Minnesota voting for that other guy. Her win will not be diminished one iota.

I don't think that will be the case. I think/hope this will be an epic failure

The counterargument to Clinton's "illegitimate" victory will be that Trump and his campaign were so pathetically inept that they blew the deadline to get their candidate on the ballot. Which shouldn't be too hard an argument to make.

they'll have no shortage of feeble excuses.

bottom line, she's a democrat; worse, she's a woman.

but no matter, let them whine. she'll be president and they'll be losers.

and other rapists. Detroit, Flint, Poughkeepsie -- all ghost towns. Who would live there? You know what? I don't care. Maybe some of our second amendment folk can handle them. I don't need their votes to win. I don't need anybody's vote to win. People will come in droves. People will get into their droves and come and we'll win. It's that simple. Good looking young women will leave the kitchens and nurseries, and they'll get into their droves and come -- and let me just add, the fat old ugly ones should stay home. My blacks will leave their slums, and they'll get into their droves and come. My Mexicans will leave Taco Bells, and they'll get into their droves and come. We're going to win!"
