The Prez is coming to PA again to stump for Lou Barletta. The GOPe may be undercutting Barletta, but Trump is not.

Curious choice of venue.
I’d have thought probably Pittsburgh.
Guess that’s why I’m not on POTUS’s staff ;-)

Lou Barletta is not just a good candidate. He's a GREAT candidate. Sending money to him now might also bring out voters in the house seats which the Pennsylvania supremes redrew with the intentions of flipping 4 or more of them.
Barletta is also airing a humorous and effective ad on our do nothing village idiot Bob Casey Jr., who announced that he would vote against Judge Kavanaugh even before the $#*+ hit the fan.

Wow. If we snatch that seat from nepotism-loving Casey and/or come out even-money on the house seats , we’re in “Morning in America” territory. Trump is going after it, at the very least forcing the enemy to defend what should be very keepable territory.

Maybe he couldn’t get Three Rivers Stadium and need to find another large space.

Erie is a twofer and picks up more people in Ohio. He was also recently in Wheeling, WV which is convenient to the western ‘burbs of Pittsburgh (and Ohio, too!).

We need to find a way to win this one. There is NO WAY that a useless legacy like Junior Casey, who betrayed his own father’s anti-abortion legacy, should be winning this race.

Trump is going to barnstorm 24/7 over the next four weeks, just like he did in 2016. These next 4 weeks are going to get really interesting for some of these Senate Dems who think they are shoe-ins for reelection, like Sherrod Brown and Bob Casey.

Good...from what I’ve seen Barletta needs the help. Casey is a complete doofus but that name is Golden in PA.

I think the Presidents time would be better spent in states where the races are winnable. Florida, Missouri, Tennessee, Arizona, Indiana, Montana, and Texas since he promised Cruz he would.
I live in PA, and have to absolutely agree with that sentiment. Until we have a whole lot less voters who reflexively pull the lever for anybody named Casey, Trump is wasting his time here.
To: Antoninus
Rally in MN. tonight. Cant wait!

Erie is largely blue-collar. Some Republicans and lots of the kinds of Democrats who could be enticed to flip, especially in the current climate.
If he can turn Erie, it gives us a chance to tip the state — both for Barletta and for Wagner.
Pittsburgh proper is mostly lost, and most of its suburbs already are safely red.

I'm only 60 years old and his schedule would KILL me!

I would toss out all polling on a number of these Senate races from before the Kavanaugh hearing. That reset a lot of these races.
Remember that Hillary was supposedly up in PA by 6-8 points ahead of the election.

I don't live in PA so I defer to you but I've seen Lou Barletta speak and I think he's terrific. He's also a longtime friend of the President's. I think it's worth the effort if the President's willing and he seems to be.

We need The President to come to Michigan and rally for John James against Dangerously Incompetent Debbie Stabenow.
