trump supports Pennsylvania gerrymandering.



Hope Republicans in the Great State of Pennsylvania challenge the new “pushed” Congressional Map, all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary. Your Original was correct! Don’t let the Dems take elections away from you so that they can raise taxes & waste money!

It's amazing how many public confessions this guy makes, and how almost everyone (even here somewhat) reacts as if he didn't just do that in plain sight. Scandal saturation overload, I guess.

There's really no difference between a "State" and a "Commonwealth."

There are four states in the United States that call themselves commonwealths: Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The distinction is in name alone. The commonwealths are just like any other state in their politics and laws, and there is no difference in their relationship to the nation as a whole.

I know, it's so easy to point out Trump's stupidity. But this criticism is weak.


ETA: See PA Democrat's post #5 for a better criticism of Trump.

Trump is a moron. I would suggest he peruse the rules set forth below, but we all know he is too lazy to read.
