“Self preservation”

Nobody wants Muslims coming here. It’s as simple as that.

Reagan Democrats Against Mondale in 1984, Reagan only received 53.34% of the vote in PA. Too much is tied up in the large RAT cities now.

Why aren’t those who did not vote in 2008 and 2012 being polled?

Doesn’t matter. PA will be counted as Dem.

The vote doesn’t matter here anymore. The redistricting and flat-out 110% turn out frauds are rampant.

I’m here, and we’re all supporting Trump. Everyone. My god, I’ve met 6 Clinton supporters here.

If we’re not red there is a big, big issue. And there is always a big, big issue.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Western Pennsylvania voted for that scumbag John Murtha when he crapped on the troops in 2005 and accused a group of Marines of committing cold blooded murder of civilians in Haditha, and when he called his own constituents racists in the run up to the 2008 Presidential election. The D is so heavily ingrained into their fabric that it will be nothing short of a miracle if they support Trump in significant numbers.

PA is going to go Trump.

Zero has no influence on the kind of Democrats profiled by Salena Zito.

Its really over.

Hillary will win Philly and Pitts.

Today Trump will be in the Philly suburbs.

Working class Democrats just do not like Hillary and she doesn’t like them.

Not after her husband mocked them a fortnight ago.

Western PA is a conservative area.

Yep, it ended this past weekend for Hillary, when she name called Trump’s supporters and having gotten sick at the 9/11 Memorial observance. That sent a message to voters that Hillary is so unprepared for leadership at a very troubling time.

Just those two cities. The burbs and the rural areas will go for Trump.

My father was a life long registered Democrat. That said, he never voted for a Democrat for President.

My mom's parents were local Democrats and National Republicans from the 20's onward and didn't care if anyone knew it. I was told things were a bit strained around national elections.

My father's father spent 30+ years in the state legislature as a Democrat. You must understand that I grew up around Governors, Senators, Congresscritters, legislators, judges, etc. It wasn't a big deal to me.

When I went down to register to vote the clerk (known to the family) marked 'Democrat' under party. I stopped her and said, "Aren't you supposed to ask me which party I wish to register for?" She asked me which party and was surprised when I said 'Republican.' She did register me anyway.

A few days later I got a call from Granddaddy asking me to stop in and see him when I could. I dropped in the next day and he asked me why I had registered Republican. I told him that the Anti-Vietnam national Democrat party just didn't represent me. I really didn't have much problem with the State level Democrats. He told me that he was glad I had thought carefully about my choice and allowed as how I was likely correct. We never spoke about me being a registered Republican again.

"Ceterum censeo Hillary esse delendam."

I thought I’d give one more big bump to one of the defining media reports of this election season ...
