Pennsylvania is starting to worry me. Big time.

42. Mastriono out and out indicated

That if he was governor, he would not accept any Ds election if they won. He was as right wing as you can get.

There are enough "normal" Rs in this state that won't support people like that.

This is why I get frustrated w the PA is Alabama between Pittsburgh and Philly trope. It just isn't like that.

Rs who win statewide tend to be like Toomey or Ridge, traditional chamber
of commerce types. We did have
Santorum for two terms, but he
pushed it too far and they flaked on
him and Casey crushed him.

Trump is just different. He isn't a politician and doesn't give a shit about actual policy. I guess the best way of saying it is, PA still has a vestige of the high times for unions, and Trump has a Jimmy Hoffa vibe. Comes off as a tough guy who is his own man.
