In reply to the discussion: Hey Trump, here's how you hold a rally! [View all]BumRushDaShow
(172,461 posts)48. He's been campaigning "in the hinterlands" since he announced in 2021
(yes almost 2 years ago).
A few times near the end of summer and yesterday were actually the first times he has been here to the Philly area rallying. But see there were many who were anti-Fetterman the past year and pooh-poohed/ignored his earlier campaigning, including predicting that he would lose the primary to Connor Lamb.
His very first rally, post-stroke, was in Erie, PA (the biggest county to flip to (R) in 2016 and one that Biden took back in 2020) -
He was in York, PA (red York County) which is part of the supposed "Pennsyltucky" in south Central PA (near where he was born), just last month -
He was on the campus of Indiana University of PA in red Indiana County in September (the county south of where Punxsutawney - yes that one - is) -
He was also in purple Lehigh County (Bethlehem) in September -
He rallied with Union workers in red Beaver county last month -
He was also in blood red Westmoreland County last month -
He was in deep red Cumberland County (which also is part of the Christo-fascist Mastriano's Senatorial District) the past week -
But see, none of this fits "The Narrative®" so that Democrats can continue to trash and bash their own candidates.

Trump needs lying Sean Spicer to claim his crowds are the largest in the history of rallies.

Oh, same here! But they never come to New York since it's a reliably "blue state"

Well, they don't come here, either, but because people here are hopelessly stupid
