Well l do Agree the statement is bunk but l also believe without a doubt Trump won Pa in 20. So your assertion is a bit flawed as well Imho
No Trump won 20 and 16 because he does win independents but more than 2 to 1 AND peels off lots of conservative and moderate Dems.
There is NO ONE the State establishment GOP will let in thr ballot for Senate that can do it…
There is no one who is going to win a special election in PA for senate waiting in the wings that the state party will allow on the ballot
