I hope you’re right. I hope it’s that simple. It’s something I’ve rejected for a long time, and have been attacked more than once over it here at FR.

Anyway, I still believe the people in PA are drones, and when it comes time to vote, they’ll vote Dem because it’s what their parents did, and what their grandparents did.

Even drones eventually begin to recognize signs of starvation, though.

I am with you on that point 99.9999% of the time.

But not this time.

The Yinzers are genuinely excited to vote for Trump. They blame NAFTA and related bad trade deals for decimating the local economy for working people. So long as Trump does not go wobbly on this issue they'll crawl over broken glass to vote for him.

The good news for Trump is that he is not perceived as a typical Republican. Because Trump was shunned by a lot of establishment GOP, many Democrats feel they can vote for him without feeling like a traitor to their party.

Had the GOP convention been truly unified, and the likes of Mitt Romney, George W. Bush and Ted Cruz fully endorsed him, I'm thinking that would have done Trump more harm than good among those who usually vote Democrat.
