All I have to say is ...Swing State.
Yep. And it didn't swing towards Cruz.
But there’s every reason to think they will swing toward Trump in the GE just as they did in the primary - for the same reasons.
No reason to assume any Republican can win it. They’ve been trying since 1988 to win it again and never were able to do it.
Here’s exhibit A...the Repubs had 1,537,696 votes in PA yesterday. The Dems had 1,638,644, about 6.5% more votes. And I think we know the turnout trend is supposed to be heavier for the Republicans on average.
If you look at the demographics of PA, they’ve trended heavily against the traditional Republican demographics since 2000. Maybe by a factor of 10%.
PA is a state the Repubs will get only if they don’t need it. By the time PA falls for them, a lot of other more purple states will have already landed in their lap.
