Not to be a downer, but I remember 2012 saying the same thing about Obama after he said the bitter clinger insult about us. I thought there was no way PA would vote for him after he said that.
The problem is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have so much population density and they are all getting government checks. Then there’s all the city women who only care about their sacred right to have an abortion.
I hope it’s different this time - we certainly have a better candidate this time, that’s for sure. His speech at the old post office grand opening was so good my jaw dropped.
Don’t get me wrong, I like the optimism. I comb through FR all day looking for encouraging polls, encouraging developments and hopefully an October surprise that goes in Trump’s favor,
I’ve just been disappointed too many times by my home state of PA. It’s a great state and I’m proud of it, except the two big cities.
If you are from PA then you must know, as everyone knows, how corrupt Phila & Pittsb are wrt voting counts.
The fact that more “people” vote in these cities than actually live there is the butt of jokes far and wide.
In Phila, for years, the people in charge of the machines would openly boast that they “wait for the call” telling them what numbers they need to report, which are calculated AFTER the rest of the state (much of which is rural) reports their numbers.
The fact of the matter is, our formerly free republic is no more. Somehow, and at some point, our beloved country’s government, schools, media, entertainment, and yes, churches, have been thoroughly infiltrated with people who report to their bosses, who in turn are firmly committed hardcore tyrants. These uber wealthy people have gamed the system to squeeze the wealth from America’s middle class, systematically, through the years.
That this election should even be close is the most frightening of all. Here we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to break the chains of global bondage over us, and we’re sweating it out wondering if we will prevail? There is so much stupidity and apathy among way too many of our citizens, it is mind boggling.
Only by the Hand of God will Good prevail over Evil this election. And despite all the good thoughts and wishes, the bottom line is, NO ONE really knows God’s thoughts or plans. Thus, we pray, work, and leave it in His Hands, for it will indeed take Divine Intervention to overcome the depths of depravity of the Evil Forces which seek to keep us under their tyranny.
