PA is tailor made for Trump. Aside from Philly and Pittsburgh, it is old and white. PA is about 85% white which is astounding for a state that size. The Republicans are so pathetic that they can never make this state competitive at the national level. But Trump is different, and his message is perfect for the state. Manufacturing jobs have been decimated, union jobs in general have gone away, it is a strong 2A state, and pockets of the state have been overrun with illegals. My parents are still in PA as are many relatives in Luzerne County. It will be a close election, but I am very bullish on Trump’s chances here. It is a large state, so the numbers are always tight. 150,000 vote difference is usually about a 2-3% spread. It’s a winnable state for Trump.
Take a look at this. From another thread of bellwether counties from around the country. The Axiom Battleground Counties (ABC) survey. Notice your county mentioned... :-):

+17% Yeah, Trump is kicking it there already.
...the pockets of the state have been drained with illegals...
I read somewhere a few years ago that PA had the highest retention of seniors/retirees than any other state.
I agree with you 100%. Pundits drone on about the Hispanic vote, but PA has a relatively small Latino population and I believe Trump stands a very good chance of winning the state.
