Liberal groups pledge millions to push Pa. Trump voters to switch allegiance
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | September 18, 2019 | Julian Routh

As Democrats inch closer to the 2020 primary elections without a clear front-runner, two prominent liberal super PACs are pouring money into Pennsylvania in an effort to pull working-class voters away from Donald Trump.

In separate efforts that nonetheless have striking similarities, Priorities USA and American Bridge have pledged millions of dollars to persuading swing voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida and Wisconsin that the incumbent Republican president isn't looking out for their interests.

"We want to show what life is like for real Pennsylvanians in Trump's economy," said Jack Doyle, director of outreach for Priorities USA’s Pennsylvania effort. "President Trump often brags about the economy while people across the state are dealing with rising health care costs, stagnant wages, and the rapidly increasing cost of living.

We need to nip this in the bud, as Barney Fife used to say.

Oh BS. Prove that anyone is spending millions to do this. Prove that they've even got millions to spend. What are they going to spend it on?

"Priorities USA and American Bridge have pledged millions of dollars to persuading swing voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida and Wisconsin that the incumbent Republican president isn't looking out for their interests."

These are private organizations. They can say anything they want, and claim to be "pledging millions." Pledging. Weasel wording. They haven't spent it, they've "pledged" to spend it. Pledged to whom?

Nonsense headline, nonsense story.

Life is just fine here in PA, except for the demonkkkRAT hellholes like Philly, Scranton, Lancaster etc. (I’m in York, and it’s booming.)

They’ll be very lucky if they keep many of the voters that went for BJ Clinton’s wife in 2016. Must stay vigilant but the President should carry Pennsylvania even larger than in 2016.

For every million we see there’s probably two million in dark money for bribes, blackmail, thugs, operatives and dirty tricks.

They want to show what life is like for real Pennsylvanians in the Trump economy?

And the evidence they will show is that the economy is tanking under Trump?? Really, they will convince people of that?

With the economy, the tax cuts, the unemployment rate, and the way businesses and companies are expanding, in my opinion, a person would be admitting to be a complete fool by voting democrat...

Yeah its time for all of Freepers to go under cover and become vocal awkward Democrats.

We all know that phenomena of hearing someone butcher an argument we agree with or be the worst person to be presenting a certain argument. I think most of us have experienced that sensation.

I wonder if we should start to be that person at democrat events and organizing. I'm sure they'll catch on but they heavy on the stupid so its going to be easy to blend in. We need to start infiltrating - perhaps some already have

You’re not who they’re aiming for.

The dems who voted for Trump are their target.

This is the new fundraising technique.
The RNC wil outraise the DNC BUT the left will out raise everyone by 2x by December of 2020.

They create shady groups, recieve cash from Soros and the other leftwing billionaires, raise cover money from the useful idiots, and spend it in behalf of the democrats.

They'll pledge and hire agitators and thugs, then not pay them, just like the Commies.

No amount of money in someone else’s pocket can’t change my vote.
