In 1774 in "Resolutions of Committee for the Province of Pennsylvania"which constituted "Instructions from the Committee to the Representatives in Assembly" of Pennsylvania as drafted by John Dickinson, a signer of the Constitution and distinguished in other respects as a leader in the period 1774-1787, as excerpted:
"Honour, justice and humanity call upon us to hold, and to transmit to our posterity, that liberty, which we received from our ancestors. It is not our duty to leave wealth to our children: but it is our duty, to leave liberty to them. No infamy, iniquity, or cruelty, can exceed our own, if we, born and educated in a country of freedom, intitled to its blessings, and knowing their value, pusillanimously deserting the post assigned to us by Divine Providence, surrender succeeding generations to a condition of wretchedness, from which no human efforts, in all probability, will be sufficient to extricate them; the experience of all states mournfully demonstrating to us, that when arbitrary power has been established over them, even the wisest and bravest nations, that ever flourished, have, in a few years, degenerated into abject and wretched vassals." "1774 Resolutions of Committee for the Province of Pennsylvania"
And what precisely makes you believe that?
I don’t believe the 45% number at all; 55% or 65% I believe.
“Trump only 45% white? - - Not True”
That’s what I’m thinking also. The % of blacks who say they prefer Trump is also hard to believe based upon a historical voting pattern going back decades.
It’s going to be interesting.
The chart looks good, but not good enough. Once you put it up against the most recent PA census numbers. PA is 80% white. 12% black 7% Latino and 3% other.
That gives that nasty woman a 46.5 to 42.4 lead.
I think DJT is probably doing better than 45% with whites and probably not quite 29% with blacks.
I think Trump will take PA, MI, MN and CO. Add FL and OH and its all over. He won’t need VA or WI.
I see more 2012 Zero bumper stickers than for hrc this year in Arlington and Alexandria. actually only have seen 2 in the last couple weeks. Very few yard signs too in neighborhoods that historically vote +70% strait ticket D.
So if they go into the hood and gin up votes, it may help Trump!
What are the numbers there? Yesterday the mail in votes in California they're are coming in at D+6 which means it might be close.
None of the polls have been good from what I’ve been able to see, but there aren’t many and they of course oversample Ds. I’m in Ohio so I don’t have any feet on the ground so to say, but I have had a feeling from the getgo that Donald is more of a native son to them then ‘carpet bagger’ senator Clinton ever was. So I think that despite the very few polls available he will take it.
At the least it will be closer than they currently anticipate.
3 NY polls on rcp indicate Clinton +18-+24.. The + 24 didn’t give internals. The +18 has a 49/27/23 (D/R/I) split which I feel is a bit too heavy handed on both the D high and the I low.
