Trump Trains His Fire on Biden in Must-Win Pennsylvania

President Trump seems itching for a fight against Joe Biden. Monday night he tried out some new jabs.

Standing in front of thousands of supporters at a rally in north central Pennsylvania, Trump leveled multiple attacks on Biden, who leads Trump in an early poll in the state. Trump said foreign leaders will get their way with Biden as president and that Pennsylvanians shouldn’t feel a kinship with the former vice president because Biden left the state when he was a child.

“Don’t forget: Biden deserted you,” Trump said as he wrapped up his speech to thousands of supporters gathered at an airport hangar at Williamsport Regional Airport in Montoursville, Pa. “He left you for another state, and he didn’t take care of you because he didn’t take care of your jobs,” he said.

Biden is working to convince Democratic voters that he has the best chance of beating Trump out of the 20-plus contenders in the Democratic field because of Biden’s ties to Pennsylvania, and his belief that he can block Trump from winning the state again. Biden was born in Scranton, Pa., and moved to Delaware with his family when he was about 10 years old. He later represented Delaware for 36 years in the U.S. Senate.

Trump is right. My son was born in San Diego, I was in the Navy. He lived in California for about 2 months before I transferred out. He’s never been to CA since. Does that mean he’s a Californian? I think not.

If Time Magazine told me the sun was out in the middle of the Sahara Desert at noon I look up to be certain. I can’t believe that Leftist rag is still being printed. If it weren’t for doctors and dentist’s offices on my soul I couldn’t image who would subscribe to it.

"Trump must win PA".

"Biden leads Trump in early polls"

Haven't we heard all this before, just substitute Killary's name and she can't lose.

It's TIME MAGAZINE for crying out loud. If the sun comes up in the east it is a conspiracy by PDJT.

Funny you said that, I’ve been here a long time, but I’m old and didn’t know how to transfer when this page made everybody redo your names. I remember in 2002 and 3 I was Dems are done or something like that. I knew Kerry had no chance but liberal polls were celebrating. I should redo the name because what is coming is going to be a tsunami.
My feelings with the farmers is this: You have been sold out by Politian’s for decades. I wish they’d just let farmers get back to doing their job of feeding their families and maybe making a profit in their excess crop. It’s a shame the federal government mandates that all gasoline must be 10, 15, 85% ethanol, or even electric.
Why can’t we just do what we want? And not have special incentives and tax monies funneled here and there?

Eagles fans do realize that Biden says he’s a Reskins fan. Or maybe they don’t. Let’s get that one out there.

But the GOP got pounded in the midterms in Pennsylvania. And those polls were pretty accurate then. Overall they predicted the GOP to lose 30-40 House seats and that’s what happened.

The polls got a lot wrong in 2016. But that doesn’t mean they are always wrong or can just be blown off. Trump only won in Michigan by like 20,000 votes. Democrats can easily make that up in turnout/fraud in Detroit. And Trump only won PA by 60,000 votes. That’s 26 electoral votes right there. If we are going to sit here and pretend it’s impossible for the Democrats to win, then Trump won’t have a 2nd term.

I don't believe people are saying it's impossible for Dems to win Pa. but it's too early to be throwing around poll numbers. Republicans got pounded in the 2018 congressional mid-term elections due mainly to the liberal Pa. Supreme Court drawing up congressional districts to favor Democrats. The odd thing about that election was that Republicans held on to control both state houses.

Trump is well aware that Pa. will be close but I don't see Black voters in Philadelphia turning out in the numbers required to carry the state for Biden.

Pennsylvania is a must win for Biden, not Trump.

If Trump holds every state except Pennsylvania, he still wins the election. Plus, those states he lost by 2-5% are now within reach. Unless there is massive election fraud, (as I suspect there will be) Trump will hold blue collar manufacturing states.

Trump can lose Pennsylvania AND Wisconsin and still win in 2020.

304-20(PA) - 10(Wisconsin) = 274 electoral votes.

PA isn't must win for Trump...but it's certainly a good state for him to win.
