Lindell is an obvious loser waiting to happen, a man with no political pedigree beyond his conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, which led to Lindell losing a defamation lawsuit against an employee of Dominion Voting Systems. Of all the possible GOP Minnesota nominees, Lindell is polling the worst because he is a delusional fool with nothing to offer voters.
