I agree Trump is strong in SW PA where you live. Where he needs to increase his totals is the Suburbs around Philadelphia. Philadelphia is where the Democrats have won the State in the past. He needs to siphon off enough votes there to win. I hope he starts an intense media buy campaign in Philly.

Sounds like Donald aspires to the Cowboy Code AKA the Ten Cowboy Commandments formulated by cowboy star Gene Autry.

According to the Cowboy Code:

1.The Cowboy must never shoot first, hit a smaller man, or take unfair advantage.

2.He must never go back on his word, or a trust confided in him.

3.He must always tell the truth.

4.He must be gentle with children, the elderly, and animals.

5.He must not advocate or possess racially or religiously intolerant ideas.

6.He must help people in distress.

7.He must be a good worker.

8.He must keep himself clean in thought, speech, action, and personal habits.

9.He must respect women, parents, and his nation’s laws.

10.The Cowboy is a patriot.

The only way he can accomplish that IMO is with an army of poll watchers and attorneys. TV ads, bumper stickers and yard signs won't cut it.

Recent 2016 electoral map resembles 2014 midterm map----
----the year the Democrats got slaughtered----

<>

PARTIAL UPDATES NM and Colo look like Trumps's. After Hillary's
limp response to the NYC bombngs, NY might also go Trump.

2016 is an electoral projection map.
2014 is Congressional race results.

5.He must not advocate or possess racially or religiously intolerant ideas. So the 'cowboy' can't be a Christian? Jesus said, "I... am the way THE way, THE truth, and THE life.. and no man comes to the father but through me." "He that rejects me rejects the One who sent me" Sounds fairly fundamentalist and religiously 'intolerant' to me. And... while I love people and hope for the best for every human, and I wish all would come to repentance and faith in God's savior king, Jesus, I am very 'narrow minded' on this issue.. Sorry, Gene Autry... and by the way Pres Obama who believes that 'religious fundementalism' is the main opponent of "Global Integration". Time, really, to put aside cowboy platitudes and choose sides

Cool it.

It is understood-—without saying-—that the cowboy is a Christian.

He always said that PA could be stolen in Philly. I agree on the Poll Watchers and Attorneys etc., but as long as Obama is in office, the Justice Dept. isn’t going to pursue the Fraud. Remember the New Black Panthers intimidating voters in Philly and were never prosecuted?

I did not know Gene Autry personally. But,NO one is a Christian without saying it.

I see the evil that lies within Hillary.
The cruz-haters will not effect my support for Trump.

Do not let up on the gas Trumpers! Take this thing home and only take your foot off the pedal Nov 9. God bless America!

Well said and I think PA can be taken. A strong win in OH will spill over into western PA. Trump is doing a rally just outside Philly tonight. When the dam bursts, it can burst quickly. Especially in PA. The Democrat fortress there is springing leaks. Don't give the other side an opportunity to plug all the leaks.

Hillary needs Philly AND Pittsburgh to win PA. Trump might win the Burgh. If Hillary does NOT win PA she is toast.

I agree. That is why Trump needs to spend a lot of money in the Philly media market.

I think you are right, but I'm just not well informed about Philadelphia and the burbs. It is like another country to those of us here in the Pittsburgh area.

Seriously. We hate them with a purple passion. We loathe their sports teams. We loathe their politicians. Even the Democrats here and there are totally different. You'd have to live here in SW PA to fully understand.

The closest analogy which comes to mind is that we are the South after the Civil War and the Philly area are the carpet baggers.

47%D, 35%R, 13% I, 5% Other.

THAT’S how. Or, if you look at the other end of it, it’s 36% D, 38% I, 24% R.

It’s sick. The internals are showing how they’re skewing the polling. Also, look at the states they’re polling in. The “national” poll only polls 8 states, and New York is one of them, and Virginia is another. They also poll in Washington D.C. Nothing like Texas or South Carolina or any other dark red state. They ONLY are polling in deep blue or light blue or tied states.

I’m a current Cruz backer who is supporting and working for Trump. I know lots of others who are, as well. I suspect the vast majority of NeverTrumpeters will vote for Trump but never proudly say so.
