Trump is going to b1tchslap Biden in PA this fall.

An uncontested primary and Trump still gets more turnout in PA???

What you are seeing in these numbers is just how bad Biden is going to do...

There is ZERO enthusiasm for this guy.. none.. Trump supporters will crawl over glass just to be on the record to vote for him.

Folks who think BIDEN will win the Rust Belt States back for them are just clueless. Same fools who didn’t see that Trumps plan from day one was to march right through this region and that he was going to be successful.

I fully expect Trump to take every state except IL this fall up here.. yes including MN... and no, they won’t be close.

Look at the total number of votes for each party...

Democrats total votes last time were over 1.6 Million, with HRC getting nearly 920k alone, and Sanders getting nearly 720k.Total R votes last Primary was only 1.3 Million

Both are down, but D’s couldn’t even put up more overall votes that R’s in a state where they have much higher registration numbers. Yes, riots or threats of riots probably depressed turnout in Philly and Pitt some, but not by a huge amount...

The fact the out of power party couldn’t even muster more total votes, with a registration advantage in their primary shows you how BAD this fall is going to be for the Dems...

Don’t kid yourself.. and the more these folks riot and burn police stations and shoot cops, it will be THAT MUCH WORSE for them.

There is absolutely not way to spin this outcome as good for the Democrats.

The TRUMP IS EVIL AND I WILL DO ANYTHING AGAINST HIM.. my still be vocal, but its numbers have dwindled significantly.. they may still be making all kinds of noise, but they are withering... always will have their hard corp contingent, but there is just no enthusiasm for Biden, and anger at Trump is not going to remotely carry the D’s to victory.

Weld is the former governor of MA, and ran on the Libertarian Party ticket in ‘16. I have no idea who de la Fuente is. I looked him up months ago and concluded he is nothing, quickly forgot what I read. He’s the “none of the above, but I won’t vote Rat candidate.”

Hardly, Bernie got like 150k votes, he got WAY more last time...

Look at the vote totals... the fact more GOP voted that Dems tells you all you need to know... They are the ones out of power, and they have the registration advantage here.. and they still couldn’t even put up more votes that the GOP...

Yes COVID and Protest/riots depressed turnout... but not that much.

Last primary D’s put up over 300k more total votes in their primary than the GOP....

There is ZERO enthusiasm for Biden. Trump is going to take the entire upper midwest handily with the exception of IL, and that will only be because of Chicago. He’ll take everything he got last time handily and add MN to the mix.

Said it a long time ago... Trump handily takes every state he got in 16... And most if not all states he lost by less than 5 points as well.

If fully expect Trump to be battling hard for states he lost by between 5 and 10points and expect him to win at least a few of them as well.

Deep blue states will vote D no matter what... Rest of the country will be solid red this fall... and the more these idiots riot and burn and Democrat mayors and governors do NOTHING about it.. the worse the Dems will do overall...

Why doesn’t the article give us the numbers?

Because the Patriot News is a Rat organ and they know it is bad news.

I hope you’re right. However these aren’t the final results. In the 25th California congressional district special election runoff, Mike Garcia had a 12 point lead over Christy Smith. Then the late arriving mail-in ballots were counted and reduced Garcia’s lead to 9 points. According to CNN, Biden has 610k votes and Trump has 761k votes. Less than 24 hours after the polls have closed, Trump has a 151k lead over Biden. After the counting has finished, I believe the lead will shrink but Trump will end up with more primary votes than Biden.

Difficult to predict ... Trump got 2,970,733 PA votes in 2016 with a thin 44,322 margin over Clinton ... now we live in a virtual world ... Wolf pissed off a lot of folks with his Covid policy that contributed to real fatalities in health-care facilities... but the media make Trump’s tweets seem more real.

I know there are mail in counts for a few days, but trust me, Trump is taking PA... Folks doubted that he was taking this area in 16, mostly people who don’t live here... Upper midwest sans Chicago is owned by Trump.

Mail in votes will boost the tally, but trust me, Dems will underperform 16 by a wide margin.

Not difficult to predict at all.

Trump’s strategy in 16 was blatantly obvious to anyone outside the beltway, and actually lived in the upper midwest, he was going to march right though this region, and the political elites and pundits couldn’t see it to save their lives.

I have lived here since the 80s, believe me, no Democrat is beating Trump here, let alone Biden.

I stated Trump would take every state except IL and MN and may even take MN in 16, and was called every name in the book for it and told I had no clue what I was talking about... etc etc.

I have stated before, and I still stand by it, Trump will take every state he took in 16, handily. He will take most if not all states he lost by 5 points of less, and will battle hard in states he lost between 5-10 points and don’t be surprised if you see him pick off a few of them too this fall.

Biden has ZERO enthusiasm.. Dems just praying the TRUMP HATE will carry them and it won’t, while it’s as noisy as ever, it’s actually a smaller group now that it was in 16.

2nd term elections always boil down to simply a referendum on the incumbent. While the economic fallout of COVID would traditionally hurt Trump.. no one is blaming him for it, in fact the states that are prolonging the economic pain are mostly Democratically run states... And their governors are taking a beating..

NJ, NY, CT and PA, all are getting lambasted, I don’t care what the polls say, believe me the folks on the street know damned well who killed grandma, and then used her death as further justification to take their liberties away.

Even to this day, no poll taken that asks the question If you voted for Trump in 16 do you plan on voting for him again in 20 has come back and shown ANY movement of support away from Trump, in fact, Trump continues to gain people who didn’t vote for him in 16 but plan to in 20..

There is no path to the WH for the Dems this term, never was. And the more they stand up there and justify folks burning the cities to the ground while doing nothing, the worse overall Dems will do across the board.

Fight hard, but don’t think for one minute Trump is going to lose. Folks that thing that way, don’t remotely understand how or why Trump won in the first place.

I do agree the vote by mail is fraud waiting to happen...

I know in my polling place alone at least 1 vote got in twice... by mistake and we had 70 voters total in person yesterday.

I don’t think the voter was intentionally trying to commit fraud, but vote by mail is just a fustercluck waiting to happen, no doubt.

Closed primary and SOME Dems figured the wouldn’t vote because their party wasn’t running anybody. I truly believe Trump would gleaned around another 100,000 if the primary was open.

You are correct that these numbers are not final.

Our beloved Governor Commie Tommie Wolf is allowing several Democrat counties to continue to vote for another week as a test run for manufacturing “after the fact” votes, a tactic which of course will be used in November as well.

Once the extra Democrat votes are counted the total Republican margin will be vastly reduced or gone altogether in the presidential race, as will be the narrow R margins in the other statewide races.

Every single county which is being allowed extra time to manufacture votes has a Democrat registration advantage, usually a very large one. It’s not hard to do the math.

trust me, Trump is taking PA...

Every primary reassures me, but even FOX news polls show Trump trailing in battleground states now.
