One of the things that’s lost on people around here is how MUCH normal people hate Republicans, not least for what they did to President Trump.
The Pennsylvania race is a poll on how many people hate the Democrats vs how many people hate the GOP. And it’s close, very close.
It’s the first race I can recall where the candidates are irrelevant.
Good point. I’m so isolated where I live so maybe that’s why I can’t see it that way. Many older people still voting democrat in AL have a very hard time when asked about dem national platform. They still think Dem = working man Rep = Rich corp. the people that see the national Democrats platform beliefs cannot support it or most won’t.
It cracks me up when the media or pundits try to explain the south’s giant switch from Dem to Rep. They try to explain it using race but the truth is values. Also they forget the south was mostly poor whites and blacks ruled by an elite class. The old days of the local community being led by the few that happen to Democrats was just about power.
Not sure why some areas hate a party by name. Look at the individual running or the party platform.
