Poor old Bradlee is pissed that he and his ilk cannot change the Trunmp voters minds with Flake news. Hey Bradlee snowflaking ain’t easy.

Oh he can do wrong, if he ever stopped putting America First.. he’d be done... but you guys never saw that was why he had the appeal he had to begin with so, it’s no wonder you can’t see what would cause him to lose his support as well.

Bradley gets it wrong though. He said Hillary made them feel ashamed. No. Hillary wanted them to feel ashamed instead they felt pissed

"Bradlee's hunger to know more about the Trump base Trump Derangement Syndrome took him to Pennsylvania, where, in extended and probing interviews with Trump voters, he was able to detail just why they supported him"

No bias here, certainly.

Sorry, Mr. Bradlee - Salena Zito already had this covered. But thanks for playing.

Trump won Luzerne County by 26,237 votes.
Trump won Pennsylvania by 44,292 votes.
Trump won Westmoreland County, where I live, by 56,853 votes.
You can look it up here and do the math.

See my post #8. Salena Zito got her start in actual journalism with the leading daily in Westmoreland County, which has outcompeted the former leading daily in Pittsburgh to the extent that they now publish only a web edition. Guess who delivers the leading print edition in Pittsburgh now?

“but you guys never saw that was why he had the appeal he had to begin with”

The MSM is still clueless. Maybe if the got out of NYC, LA and DC type of mindset bubbles once in awhile they could catch a hint. Then again, that probably wouldn’t help either.

These narcissistic Georgetown lounge lizards from the mainslime media are beginning to understand their own stupidity - and its salient ramifications. The big one is the emergence and growth of Trump’s MAGA base - and its seething contempt for the swamp and the mainslimers. Hullo, little Bradlee whelp - the storm is just getting started. No one gives a da*n about your condescending drivel. ESAD!

I think Trump has probably done plenty wrong. The alternative is 100x worse than anything trump has said or done.

Exactly. It is ridiculous how these knuckleheads can’t look at data.

I was curious myself how PA flipped in the days after the election....so I looked up the county results and compared them with 2012 and 2008.

Hillary did not bad at all in Philly...it’s just Trump shellacked her in the rural PA counties. He was pulling numbers in these counties that blew McCain and Romney out of the water. And if I remember right, it didn’t come at the expense of the Dem vote that much.

Doesn’t seem to me the marginal areas like Luzerne or Monroe or Bucks really did it for Trump. Trump took a rural base that went red but typically didn’t show up on election day....and made it so deep, deep red that it swamped the Dem vote of Philly and the marginal areas.

Can anyone explain how and why the Amish community in Lancaster county traveled by horse drawn carriages to Harrisburg to a Trump Rally? They were in Leesburg VA for a rally before the election too.That is the Amish community. I’m not sure from where they came.for the Leesburg Rally.

The Amish can be given rides or fly-—they can’t operate the vehicles themselves.

Thanks that explains the Leesburg crowd, but there were pictures of the buggies in Harrisburg.

A growing number of Amish actually vote now. They understand their religious freedom is at stake and they need to do more than prayer.

There is a Amish joke in our area that "God created Mennonites to drive the Amish where they need to go . . . like the polls."

I lived Westmoreland county for 20 years so I am aware. Moved to AZ in 2013.

These people are seriously living in an alternate reality:

‘While Trump has yet to deliver on many of his campaign promises, Bradlee said, that has not seemed to deter his backers.

‘Even though it’s a good economy, in some ways he hasn’t delivered for the working class. He said he was going to curb the deficit in the campaign but his budget adds $7 trillion to the deficit,’ Bradlee said. ‘So, one could say that that doesn’t translate into a vested interest of his supporters, but it doesn’t matter, they just love him.’”

Every politician promises to cut the deficit, but if anyone voted for Trump thinking he was a big budget cutter, they should’ve had their head examined. He never talked about it, and in fact, mostly discussed full-funding for the military, veterans, infrastructure, Social Security and Medicare, the Wall, etc., while also promising to lower taxes.

But Trump has kept to his actual promises (create jobs, eliminate ISIS, fight illegal immigration, address trade imbalances, etc.) more than any politician that anyone can remember.
