I still like Trump’s chances: Pennsylvania's forgotten say the president is still their man for 2020

It is not an unusual sentiment in this blue-collar corner of Pennsylvania: “I voted Trump last time, and I’ll vote Trump next time because there’s a lot of loonies out there.”

What is unusual is that Gary Reese, 75, served as the Democratic mayor of Kingston, a town in Luzerne County at the heart of what used to be the state’s coal belt, in the 1990s. “The Democrats used to be about the working man,” he continued. “Now, they sound like communists.”

Luzerne County emerged as one of the bellwethers of Mr Trump’s unlikely 2016 victory, a place where a predominantly white, blue-collar electorate plumped for the Republican nominee. Here, successive victories for Barack Obama were transformed into a Trump win of 26,000 votes — more than half his winning margin in a state that flipped from blue to red.

First time I’ve heard the term “Donald Dems”. I like it, it has potential! U just need President Trump to tweet about it and it could be the phrase of the 2020 election.

Trump isn’t losing a single voter he won in 2016.

He’s adding on at least 15million more though

Who’s Lefty?


You really have to ask?
Lefty is anyone on the political Left. The brainwashed NPCs at the universities are Lefty. AOC is Lefty. The Democrat clown car occupants are all Lefties.

I can't guarantee the entire state, BUT, I will guarantee that Westmoreland County will go Trump, again.

We voted 63.5% for Trump in 2016.

The Trump House in Youngstown, PA. Trump is 16 feet tall, and the lady that own that house gave away hundreds of thousands of dollars of Trump gear in 2016. The house is still there.

For sure a lot of Leftist kooks are getting elected to local and statewide office here in PA.

Trump will likely benefit from the backlash as they overplay their hands.

We saw folks from all over PA. And met a lotta Donald Dems...

Anyone in that party who still has three functioning brain cells has to be headed for the exits.
