Trump said if he loses PA, it means it was stolen from him.

I just read this post about state election systems being hacked, per the FBI; and I've been wondering about all the hacking going on with the Russians and Drumpf's ties to them....

It's possible that if HE wins the presidency, it means it was stolen.

It makes sense that he'd accuse his opponent of the very thing he's going to do (with Russian hacker help). It would also explain his campaign of confusion and lack of effort actually campaigning. He may already know he's going to win.

"How would you know if Clinton had won PA fair and square? What would such a situation look like?"

not have an agenda, he caters to the far right race hating groups, too tied to Putin and acts before he thinks. He is unfit to be president.

Nothing more.

Trump will lose PA. I guarantee it.

*Pennsyltucky is what we in Pennsylvania call the red area between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

I agree there's no way Trump will win the state; unless he has unseen help.

There's far more of us in the cities and burbs than in the Alabama part.
And his garbage about "irregularities at voting places"-- we have very strict regulations about who can be there, how close party reps can get to voters, etc.

Every year they lose and it's getting worse for them.

Toomey was a 2010 blip. He will lose.

But sure, go ahead and spend money in our state.
