That's the college suburban vote that is totally turned off by Donald Trump. If he continues to lose those counties by over 4 times what Mitt lost them, there's no way he can makeup enough blue collar votes in the rest of the state to compensate for it.
Yes! That's is the same thing that Decision Desk HQ has said. He is getting hammered in the suburbs.

Agreed. Republicans don't have to win the Philly suburbs to win the state, but they at least have to be competitive there. Montgomery County is going to be VERY ugly for Trump.

Exclamation Clinton is Bad news.

Trump will be pointing her failed record weeks to come and this will turn around. No in their right mind could ever vote Clinton with 30 Freakin years of being above the law.


Doesn't that bother you any, so called Liberals where everything is offensive?

It's not just Montgomery County, but Bucks, Delaware, and Chester counties as well. Once upon a time, years ago, these suburban counties leaned Republican now they are solidly Democratic.

To the north of us the Lehigh Valley counties of Lehigh and Northampton are also in the Democrat's corner. Some of it has to do with the growing Hispanic communities throughout eastern Pennsylvania.

The Keystone State is trending more Democratic these days. Proof of this was the most recent off-year election.

He has a shot if he gained with the rural voters and kept Romney's numbers in the suburbs. Unless he starts doing better there that will be difficult. It will be interesting to see if Clinton pulls back ad buys in PA and VA next. That would be telling.

Although I wouldn't call it "must win", if Trump doesn't win Pennsylvania then he "must win" Florida.

If he don't Florida or Pennsylvania then he loses the election! Doesn't matter what happens in Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, etc...

Trump isn't going to get anything close to what Romney had in suburban Philly (and Romney lost there aswell)
