Ruth Moore, 60, was holding her 13-month-old granddaughter Addy to board the shuttle bus to attend the Trump rally. Moore said she happily voted for Trump in 2016; her sister Robin Beilman, 58, not so much.
“I didn’t vote for Hillary either; I just didn’t vote,” said Beilman, who works in a nearby factory making Pop-Tarts.
“At first I didn’t like how he conducted himself; I still always don’t, but what I have come to realize is that if you want to get tough things done, you don’t get them done by being nice,” she said.
Now Trump has earned her full support.
“My best guess is, we are going to see a lot of rallies like the one we saw here tonight in Pennsylvania to remind his supporters of why they voted for him and to draw out higher numbers from their friends and neighbors who sat on the sidelines or voted Clinton or third party in 2020,” Madonna said.
Angelo Martin was pretty pumped to attend his first Trump rally despite not voting for the president in 2016; the 22-year-old registered Republican said he voted for Hillary Clinton because of Trump’s demeanor.
“Honestly I thought he was a little crazy the way he talked, and because of that I did not think he would get anything done. Turns out I still don’t like his style but I am more than happy with his policy decisions,” said Martin, who listed the tax cuts, judicial picks, and how Trump has dealt with foreign policy as some of the president’s accomplishments.
“He has more than earned my vote for 2020,” said Martin, who traveled from Selinsgrove to attend the rally.

You aren’t really defying something when it doesn’t exist.
Americans generally are no longer willing to participate in polls. A significant percentage of those who do often lie, according to their own admission.
So...
Fake News.

Stalin didn’t Tweet so I guess Angelo would have Voted for him before he figured things out.
I happen to like his demeanor. Straight forward.
I love it, a non-voting, non-Trump supporter (because he’s vulgar) who works at a Pop Tart factory. You can make this stuff up.
Nice positive article
“Americans generally are no longer willing to participate in polls”
Make that “people are no longer willing to participate in polls”
It’s not just 2016 Trump VS Double Wide, it was all he races such as PA,WI,NC, FLA, etc which polls said DW was leading.
Then we have Brexit and Australia....
Democrat don’t take Pennsylvania by winning the central part of the state. They take Pennsylvania by winning Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and the suburban counties around the two. Trump is speaking to the converted. He needs to make inroads into the Philly and Pittsburg areas or else hope that they stay home like they did in 2016.
BJ’s wife defied polling in 2016 and LOST.
Trump has only gained voters in the last 2 years.
But he needs to overcome the fraud that will take place in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
I can’t claim to predict the future but I would advise anyone against taking this next election for granted. I wasn’t surprised when Trump won in 2016 but my prediction then and now was that some supporters will tire of him and he will lose in 2020.
If you think Pennsylvanians aren’t too stupid to vote for Biden, take a look at the senators and governors they have been electing for years.
He tells it like it is!
I'm from Missouri "The Show Me State" which means "Action Talks, Bulls**T Walks"!
Trump backs up what he talks about.
Trump said he saw thousands at his rally while Biden had maybe 160
If I were Trump I would put Federal Marshals in those key precincts to prevent fraud.
I won't go so far as to predict he will lose in 2020 but Trump does have his work cut out for him. The mid-terms showed that his win in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania was not the start of a trend. He is going to have to fight hard to keep those three states, and perhaps Iowa as well. Lose them and he loses the election.
a few million more illegals sprinkled around including texas and florida and he’s toast
Correct. I am concerned, though, as she moved from the Pittsburgh paper to DC.
The numbers are already there. In 2016 3% of PA blacks stayed home.
Since then, Trump’s approval # has risen about 12-15 points with blacks, which I think translates into about a +3-5% actual vote gain, but equally important, an additional 10% who will stay home.
On top of this, the GOP has made a decent gain in voter registration, with a net gain of 84,000 since 2016 when Trump won.
“Americans generally are no longer willing to participate in polls.”
I always tell them I am a black female transgender Democrat that supports Trump!!!
