One good test of how strong our support for President Trump remains is a potential 2018 run against Senator Casey by now Representative Barletta. Casey is an open border supporter that thinks in line with the current Democratic leadership. Representative Barletta is a strong Trump supporter and has been outspoken against illegal immigration. If Trump continues to make the right moves; Barletta should be able to oust Casey.
Trump voters aren’t just changing their party allegiance, they’re crystallizing a new identity: as common-sense Americans bound together against seemingly hostile liberals who appear to disdain their way of life. And the Democrats have done nothing to win over these voters, nothing."
That is exactly how I feel. Liberals/progressives are hostile, hate my way of life, and are intolerant of everyone who disagrees with them. They have no place or business in any position of power at this point!
Except they're still electing Democratic candidates at the local level such as a majority of County Commissioners as well as the row offices.
You are trolling. Its a 3 seat county commission and its 2-1 Democratic, and Democrats didnt even gain that majority until 2015, and they gained it in a 4 person race where the winner won with 24% of the vote.
the other county level positions are 5-4 Republican.
Why try to comment out of context and make it an outright lie ????

I thought it was against the TOS to accuse others of trolling.
What's out of context?
Do Democrats outnumber Republicans in voter registration?
Are a majority of the County Commissioners Democrats? A note, the four candidate race for County Commissioner is common in PA. Two candidates from each party plus independent/third party, if any. The top three vote getters are elected.
Are the row offices essentially tied? In a jurisdiction with a Democrat majority.
As far as context goes, you, and others still aren't getting it. There is a reason, or rather several reasons, why that County, as well as others nationwide, vote Republican for President and Democrat locally.
It cost Clinton the election. Has anything been learned?
Oh, prior to fairly recently there were decades in Westmoreland County where the lone Republican elected would be that Commissioner. That went down through the row offices to the boro and township level where every single elected official was a Democrat.

When someone tries to argue functional control in a 3 person group, it looks like they are being purposefully obtuse.

Again, if you havent voted Democratic in 20 years, you arent a Democrat. Just 30 years ago, the governor of Alabama was elected as a Democrat ad won 90% of the vote against his republican counterpart, does that mean all these people in Alabama are still Democrats ? the obvious answer is no.

That was never the OPs point. We have already had this conversation.

Bottom line is Hillary lost, Trump won. Democrats are more interested in forcing their opinion on everyone else, bathroom rights, illegals and attacking anyone who doesn't agree with them than what's best for the American people.

What exactly are Democrats forcing on you ?
Again, Democrats havent had control of congress for 6 years, and in PA, they havent had a unified Democratic government since 1993.
also, deporting someone from this country seems like the ultimate "forcing your opinions on everyone else" argument LOL.

Suggesting a county that hasn't gone Democratic for President or Governor for over 20 years, and Senate once or Senate in 30 years is a Democratic County as was done in the OP is absurd.
On the flip side, Chester County is far more Republican on the local level than Westmoreland County is Democratic, it has voted Republican for state and federal offices, it has a greater GOP voter registration advantage than Westmoreland County has a Dem advantage, but it is a county Trump did poor in.
FWIW, my issue with the thread isn't that the Democrats have problems in white working class areas, and that Trump is strong there. Those are valid points.
My issue is simply being honest about the type of county Westmoreland County is. Suggesting that Westmoreland County is a Democratic County at this point in time, would be as absurd as me saying Montgomery County or Delaware County are Republican Counties. Traditionally that was certainly true, and locally there is still some strength, but Weestmoreland hasn't been Democratic and Montgomery and Chester have been Republican counties in 20 years.
Here in Louisiana, Trump support is widespread except in the inner cities. Contrary to media portrayals, the majority of middle class people here and college educated people are Republican and support Trump. The only Democrats here are the people in the ghetto and some of the counterculture types in New Orleans. New Orleans and Baton Rouge's middle and upper class suburbs are extremely Republican. I was born in Metairie, just outside NO, which is where Steve Scalise is from.
I now live in one of the better off suburban parishes (county equivalent) outside Baton Rouge and 84% voted for Trump and in this area most people work middle class jobs, live suburban lifestyles (though many of us do enjoy the outdoors and more "country" activities) and do not depend on the government. We are also the racists who put the first Indian American governor, conservative Republican Bobby Jindal, in office.
The city of Baton Rouge and the city of New Orleans, where most of the crime and poverty is, are the most Democrat areas of the state and BLM is big in those places.

Simply deporting people who are ILLEGAL and shouldn't be here anyway......
