Hillary threatened 38,000 coal industry jobs in PA, spat on working class workers, and those living in the inner cities started to realize that Democrats were doing nothing for them.
With a nine (9) point lead in the Keystone state, I doubt that the fact that some 100,000 Democrats switching over to the Republican party, while no doubt gratifying, will make much of a difference.
Hillary Clinton will easily win PA in just 25 days from now. She's consistently polling comfortably ahead of Trump there and there are huge black voting blocs in the Philly metro area. Even Allegheny County will likely go blue, as well as Harrisburg. PA will go blue!
The Democrats will win Philadelphia and surrounding counties, as well as Allegheny (Pittsburgh), and Centre County (Penn State). That's all they need - Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are huge and count for the bulk of the population. The rest are pretty rural.
good call, you really do know polls and your area. Pennsylvania is such fools gold....trump is wasting his time and money there showing how desperate and foolish he is:d
I wasn't predicting Penn would go Trump but I knew he had to pierce the Blue Wall somewhere and Penn was a good bet to do that especially considering Hillary promised to run those Penn coal miners out of business and out of their jobs....they didn't forget that promise.
Pennsylvania was built on coal, steel, railroads, logging and shipping. None of them are viable anymore or big enough to support the whole state. Their demise began at least 50 years ago. Coal has its own problems. Pennsylvania was the home to the jewel of coal; the anthracite. It was discovered in PA and few places had it. It was used as residential fuel. There are many homes that still use it for heating. How Trump wants to bring them back is interesting but at least it is on his mind. It really bothered me when people said these jobs aren't coming back.
