3. Tell her that is a lie. An absolute, utter lie.

Pennsylvania leans (barely) Dem and has lost its clout as a battleground state because so many people have left. Yes, there are a LOT of racists ensconced in various sections of PA, but other states will mitigate if PA is stupid enough to go for Trump.

I should hope the women of PA are smart enough to get out and vote against that orange asswipe.


Pennsylvania, where the U.S. Constitution was written, was the second state admitted to the Union, officially becoming a state in December 1787. The Keystone State has participated in all 57 presidential elections through 2012. Pennsylvania is generally considered a battleground state, although it has voted Democratic in the last six elections. In 2012, Barack Obama won over Mitt Romney by about 5%. While still an important prize, with 20 electoral votes, Pennsylvania, like many industrial northern states, has seen population migrate away in recent decades. Peaking at 38 electoral votes in the 1910s and 1920s (second only to New York), the state has lost 45 percent of its electoral clout in 80 years.
