A couple of weeks ago the pundits were saying Trump’s prospects for carrying Florida were poor because Hillary had so many more field offices there.

MIGHT be true, but coming from the home town paper of the Commie Obunga whom is getting more desperate by the day for legacy and criminal protection by having a Clinton White House, I’ll wait for confirmation.

My county is considered a bell weather neighborhood and is split about 50/50 split in registration. I counted 9 Trump signs, 1 Johnson and zero for Clinton on my ride around today. There is no energy for her here. They will spend a lot of money on the get out the vote effort, but I suspect the workers will take the money, but not make much effort. Trump should win PA.

Hillary’s 57 state offices exist only on paper.

And I doubt they’re fully staffed, up and running.

I am surprised they didn’t describe her as “powering through” PA.

So much conflicting information . You can see ten articles from ten sources that say ten different things.

Loathe as I am to say this, Trump does have more work to do in Pennsylvania. I think he can do it, but the DC/Dem skinny is that he has Ohio right now and there is no hope for her there BUT he needs to spend some more time in PA. They think they have Pa.

“Obama would beg to differ. “

I know he would,but he sure does love The Marine Corpse.

An idiot that can give a good speech-—that’s it.

A far cry from when Col. McCormick was running it. He’d be turning in his grave today.

Winning Pennsylvania helps, but my weekly poll analysis model shows that, currently, Pennsylvania is involved in only 40% of Trump's win scenarios.

Trump is currently forecasted to win 258 Electoral College votes, with a 40% chance of reaching 270 Electoral College votes.

This is a chart from my model of the states that were won when Trump reached 270 or more Electoral College votes. The numbers indicate the percent of the time the state was won when Trump won the election.

States in the 90+% range must be won to reach 270 electoral votes.

This Pennsylvania firewall is nonsense.

GWB won without PA both times.

Trump is ahead in OH, FL, and now apparently also CO, NM, NV.

He doesn’t even have to win all of these to get past 270.

If he takes VA it’s even easier.

Problem for the lying criminal is that she’s beginning to lose some of the states Obama won that were considered “safe”.

Yep. Amazing that they are bragging about Pennsylvania, a state that has gone for democrats in the last several election cycles. Pennsylvania isn’t supposed to be competitive, yet there it is.

This election is remarkably similar to the 1980 Carter/Reagan race.Prior to the debates, Carter was ahead 5-7 points. After the debates he was hopelessly behind and lost big. These polls suggest that the race is relatively tight and Trump has some current momentum. If however he, despite the media bias, is perceived by the people to win the debates, or if Hillary has another public faint or flop, she will lose big. The democratic hierarchy is very uneasy especially when they read their own internal polls. Would not be surprised if they are not now designing a “Plan B” where Hillary for “health reasons” drops out in early October and an enormous push is put behind Joe Biden.

I used to worry about stuff like this until he took every county in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Connecticut and Rhode Island. You don’t do that without ground game. I’m convinced Trump’s field people operate under a lot of secrecy. Everything in the Trump Organization is focused on Trump. Not his aides, not his operatives, well maybe his operatives.

Odd, trump has been catching up to hillary consistently the past three weeks there. This is the first “positive spin” news story from PA about hillary in weeks.

Intended to encourage her supporters, intended to discourage trump supporters?
