Stumped by Trump’s success? Take a drive outside US cities
New York Post ^ | 8/23/16 | Salena Zito

If you drive anywhere in Pennsylvania, from the turnpike to the old US routes to the dirt roads connecting small towns like Hooversville with “bigger” small towns like Somerset, you might conclude that Donald Trump is ahead in this state by double digits.

Large signs, small signs, homemade signs, signs that wrap around barns, signs that go from one end of a fence to another dot the landscape with such frequency that, if you were playing the old-fashioned road-trip game of counting cows, you would hit 100 in just one small town like this one.

In Ruffsdale, I am pretty sure I saw more than 100 Trump signs.

It’s as if people here have not turned on the television to hear pundits drone on and on about how badly Trump is losing in Pennsylvania.

I recently drove thru coal country in KY and SW VA. It is dead! No coal jobs means no money for the support businesses like restaurants, banks, car dealers, etc. Many Trump signs in yards there.

This is going to be a blow out one way or the other.

Either the silent majority speaks now, or it no longer exists.

Here in SW PA there are indeed numerous Trump signs. I’ve yet to see a Hillary sign. But the union leaders will be forced to put some up right before election day.
Problem is there are not enough of us.
Had lunch with my family in Philly’s Reading Station.
There were more people there during lunch hour on a Saturday than there are in my whole voting precinct!
The cities stack their populations vertically. Couple that with the busloads of Somalis lining up to vote illegally and it’s hard to overcome.

"..I recently drove all over rural NY and noticed Trump signs everywhere, but not a single sign for Hillary.."
