Clinton's support is wide, while Trump's is deep
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | November 6, 2016 | Chris Potter

Eva Resnick-Day had seen Hillary Clinton campaigning before. At a political event in March, the environmental activist had a sharp, if brief, exchange with the Democratic presidential nominee over campaign support from the fossil-fuel industry.

But when Ms. Clinton held a rally at Heinz Field on Friday Ms. Resnick-Day was there as a supporter. “The window to act on climate change is so narrow,” she said.

And unlike Republican Donald Trump, Ms. Clinton hasn’t dismissed climate change as a hoax. “Having a climate-change denier as president is unacceptable,” Ms. Resnick-Day said.

Activists like Ms. Resnick-Day, along with black voters and other key constituencies, are both the promise and peril for Democratic hopes of winning Pennsylvania on Tuesday.

Many attending Friday’s event were excited by her extensive resume, and by the chance to elect the first female president. But while she has consistently led in polls here, her lead has narrowed to the low-to-mid single digits, and for some Democratic-leaning voters, Ms. Clinton is not an ideal candidate.

By contrast, if her constituency is broad, Mr. Trump’s is deep. The Republican’s support is heavily drawn from white voters lacking college degrees, but his rallies are larger and more energetic than Ms. Clinton’s. Not all that energy is positive, and his policy prescriptions are typically vague. But his criticism of the political and economic status quo has captivated many white working-class voters.

Jim Burn, a former state Democratic Party chair, predicted that for a Republican, “Trump will have a historically successful day in western Pennsylvania. … There are a lot of disaffected folks making a statement.”(continued)

As wide as her ass?

As wide as her list of felonies?

As wide as the list of babies her party has murdered?

As wide as the list of lies she told?

Where is this “wide support”?

I see more “Hillary for Prison” signs then I do “Hillary/Kaine” signs

And I live in New Jersey

If she has wide support, I guess they are invisible.... or dead

Trump's support is stripes, while Clinton's is polka dots.

Clinton has support from crimminals and pedophiles, but I repeat myself.

Please. Hillary’s support is as shallow as you can get. She is underperforming not only Obama but even Kerry... She’s toast. The idea she has broad support is nonsense
