That's where Trump went in PA. You said to yourself, WHAT is this guy doing in Central PA small towns? It makes big news in these places when a billionaire comes to town. Perhaps there was "walking around money" as they called in some campaigns - cash for motivation to poster, canvas, etc etc. Or perhaps an extended network of ultra conservative groups, which incredibly have quite a presence in small town, uneducated, ethnic communities. These guys can't spell politics but they listen to their network.

They pulled all the stops they could imagine, and Russian mind control was part of that, or the final piece of the puzzle. IMO
