3. Beaver County is full of Trump supporters

The county is primarily white, old and full of former mill workers pining for their jobs to return. It's exactly Trump's demographic. Some of the attendees were interviewed and I'd bet if you pooled all their grey matter, you might be able to make an entire functioning brain.

Interestingly, Keith Rothfus, the congressman for PA-12 (a heavily gerrymandered district extending from the Ohio border to beyond Johnstown) introduced him. PA-12 might be a tough pick up, but it's a great chance to tie Rothfus to Trump and support his opponent Erin McClelland.

He does nothing for PA-12. Nothing, but sit there and be despicable.

Erin McClelland is a fantastic candidate. She will be getting the vote of the members of this household!

8. What is that "certain way"?

Is that because he has always been shunned by NYC high society?
Because he was from queens?

He wouldn't last an hour in a real factory
Job, he would either give up or hurt himself.

It kind of fizzled out then. Looks like they are trying to resurrect it.
