Surround Philly? Youse guys shouldn't do that

Philadelphians and those who have been punched by them, respond to calls to surround the city:

As ballots were being counted at the Pennsylvania Convention Center on Wednesday night, Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs talked trash about the electoral process in Philly and wondered aloud why Republicans just don’t surround the city.

“Philadelphia looks like a cesspool electorally," he said on his show. "Why in the world wouldn’t the Republicans surround that thing and, if you will, you know, at least apply a little, what would you call it, some sort of scent?”

Meanwhile, Republican commentator Harlan Hill took to Twitter early Thursday morning to suggest that Republicans should “start bussing Trump supporters to Philly” to “make them feel our level of pissed off.”

More at link, including responses by actual Philadelphians and those who fear our city.

We're a city that sets itself on fire when we're HAPPY. Maybe try that shit up in New Hope, but Philly will not respond kindly.

viewpoint of a 'trump thug' ... so all of us have to be worried that they're going to burn our cars, trash dumpsters (this happened to me), all kinds of 'revenge' because their PINO that they had for four years already, lost?.

Poor losers, if you ask me, considering at how they rubbed it in our faces when HRC had her election stolen.

No mercy to these thugs.

.....by a large group of ducks on the towpath. It was terrifying. I do love New Hope. It's changed a lot, but I spent so much time there when I was younger.

My uncle, mom's brother, owned some property on S. Main Street.

While it was an artsy place, the locals were pretty rough and tumble.
