I saw my second Hillary/Kaine sign today in SE Pa. That's still one less than the number of Obama signs I saw in 2012. Three. But that was just in two counties....

The hick counties for sure but places where people actually live like Pittsburgh, Erie, Harrisburg , Scranton, etc. won`t be coming through for Trump.

Yep. This is exactly why Romney won Florida.

There's traditional polls, and then there's what I like to call observational polls. I have spent the past week in W. Palm Beach County, FL, a traditionally heavy Jewish, Democrat county. The "OBAMA, OY VEY HAD ENOUGH? billboards are everywhere. I have counted 4 Obama/Biden bumper stickers. I wore my Romney/Ryan 2012 T-shirt to meet with my Mom's financial adviser yesterday and was not only greeted with cheers from the office staff, I was handed a complimentary copy of the book "The Amateur". Driving around some of the nicer neighborhoods in Boca and Delray, I spotted 4 Romney signs in yards. My Mom's hairdresser came out to meet me and gave me a thumbs up on my shirt but warned me, "Better not go in there (motioning to her beauty shop) Those Liberals will shoot you!" Ah yes, the tolerance of the Left for diversity of opinion. I have not seen a single pro-Obama billboard or Obama yard sign.
Oh, my bad. It turns out Romney lost Florida. I'm certain he did have more yard signs, however.

By the same token, Bucks went for Obama by only 1.2 percent, so really Chester and Bucks are both kind of swing counties. It'll be interesting to see how the map looks after election day this year - I still think Trump can eke out a victory in Bucks county. Also northeastern PA seems it may be more promising for Trump than it was for Romney.

You had it right the first time. Pennsylvania is Trump country.

Kinda fitting that Pennsylvania was the final nail in Hillarys coffin.

Even more fitting Trump will be the final nail in America's coffin.

This country has been dying for awhile now.
