Not enough racists in PA, contrary to some of the extraordinary statements that forum members were making in '08 when Hillary won the Dem primary.

Trump is trying to play a typical "upstate" versus "downstate" argument to play towards resentments from rural and SW PA Republicans that somehow the system/state is rigged simply because this fictional version of "Real Pennsylvania" is very different from the alternate parallel universe from where this gentleman appears to exist.

Not sure where he's going with this.... but definitely appears he is making a massive play towards "cheating in Philly" neglecting the fact that the reason he is losing the state by what appears to be double-digits is a massive collapse of support in the Philly suburbs (Including many Conservative Dems/Independents/Moderate-Liberal Republicans...

Let's give him all a real Philly Boooo for this, and btw let's go Eagles (My NFL team) come late Fall.

I can assure you, my city is full of cheats (have you seen the latest Eagles scandal!?) - I wouldn't be surprised if my precinct resulted in zero votes for the man!

He had 11 in the primary but only because they were rigging it so hard against BERNIE

Dude... don't bag on my Iggles.

You been hangin' on Kensington Avenue lately, because it definitely seems like you're sounding a little high....

Am assuming you are being sarcastic, but if you hate Philly so much surely there are a few towns down the road that you might prefer, maybe York or Lancaster?

Actually it doesn't really even seem that you are an Eagles fan, maybe Steelers or Baltimore???

Temple, boy! Here we go! Team of the greatest city in the world!

So you are more of college ball fan, and likely didn't grow up anywhere near Philly....

That's cool, and I'll happily civilly debate anything based upon metrics and data, but you did bring up my Iggles, so it got personal for a moment. Wink

Apologies for my external sarcasm in response to your jests.... since although I know that you were merely making a point regarding Trump's insane statements, our banter might be misinterpreted from  an external viewpoint.

You do raise a valid point regarding the overwhelming level of support for various Presidential candidates in many precincts and parts of the country, where there are many precincts that essentially vote almost 100% for either Republican or Democratic candidates in a GE Presidential Election.

Unfortunately, as both of us all know, this has nothing to do with voting fraud, but rather an extremely polarized partisan environment, where both major parties have deeply entrenched bases of support among various populations.

I can pull up precincts in Oregon where Obama won with 100% of the vote in '08 in one of the states with the lowest Black populations in the country, and precincts in Georgia or Ohio where Obama received zero votes in 2008 or 2012 that went 100% Republican....

So yes, you are absolutely correct that there is a chance that your precinct might provide no votes for the Trumpster, and if I were to move out to some remote area in the mountains of Oregon, there might be absolutely no votes for Hillary, and there is no cheating and rigging involved on either side.
