Great point about the own-goal of allowing the non-resident to run in a district he did not reside in. Even after that already blew up against the GOP not long ago! Stupid and is a blemish against the head of the DFL to run the national Democratic Party.

The DFL was right to distrust house GOP back then nor going forward.

Can senate GOP rein them in? Or are they cheering it on?
