Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is returning to Pennsylvania on Saturday.
He'll be holding a 7 p.m. rally in Manheim, Lancaster County, according to Trump's campaign website. It will be held at Spooky Nook Sports, the largest indoor sports complex in the country.
Trump also is scheduled to hold a fundraiser Saturday evening in Bergen County, N.J. Tickets for the Trump Victory fundraiser start at $5,000 per person, according to an invitation obtained by the Morning Call....

he’s courting the Amish vote?
I was just in Lancaster County and it is definitely Trump country. It looks like even the Amish are behind him. He’ll need to pick up votes in the Philly collar counties if he wants to take PA although he needs more from Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, and Delaware counties.
The Amish don’t generally vote in Presidential elections; though this time it may be different...
From what my husband saw during a recent trip up through central PA, Trump has a good chance despite the urban area vote.
Lancaster county is very Republican. It’s now been over built and is over populated considering the infrastructure.
My parents have lived just outside the city for 24 years now.
They are not Amish.

Presidential hopeful Donald Trump visited Chicago this morning in another busy day on the campaign trail. He spoke at the Polish National Alliance at 6100 North Cicero Avenue on the Northwest side. He had a very relaxed tone with a theme of bring all Americans together.
There were dueling protesters that were kept a safe distance across the street. The anti-Trump folks had SEIU (Servjce Employees International Union) printed signs along with printed “Stop Trump” signs. It was rumored that they were paid to show up.
On the other hand, the pro-Trump people appeared to be grassroots people almost all of Polish decent, including several I spoke to who lived nearby. One gentleman I interviewed said, “90 percent of the Polish people support Trump because we oppose Communism.”
From what I can tell by cursory search, Bucks and Chester were very close between Romney and Obama in 2012.
Romney won Chester by about 1000 votes. Obama won Bucks by less than 4000 votes. Montgomery and Delaware counties are where Obama was strongest outside of Philly. Now, Luzerne County further north went for Obama by about 6000 votes and that’s the bellwether county for the state, and I believe Trump is polling way ahead there for what it is worth.
Trump should do especially well for a Republican in the northeast coal country of Pennsylvania, given Hillary’s plans to shut down all the mines.....
