But the math behind the theory is tight. Trump’s plan requires blowout victories and historic turnout in conservative strongholds across the state, places where he outperformed traditional Republicans four years ago and he knows must do even better. His mission is made clear by his campaign stops in Pennsylvania this week — a tour through GOP areas like Latrobe, Lititz and Martinsburg,
So his fate lies in large part in places like Butler County, an overwhelmingly white, conservative county north of Pittsburgh. There are nearly two Republicans for each registered Democrat. Most adults did not graduate from college. The economy rests on manufacturing and fracking, as well as service-sector jobs from suburbs creeping in from the city.Republican turnout in Butler County was an impressive 80% in 2016.
The mayor has aimed to turn out younger voters, a group that normally favors Democrats. But in Butler County, there are almost twice as many Republicans under 35 as there are Democrats — and their perspectives veer from the politics of their peers across the country. Republicans like Longo are also hunting for voters like Dane Patricelli, a 27-year-old construction worker who leans conservative but cast his ballot in 2016 for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.
At 52, she retired from working at a Walmart store and has seen Cranberry Township become part of Pittsburgh’s suburban sprawl. Barrickman said she voted Republican four years ago but can’t this time around. Butler County has 10,600 Republicans who were registered but did not vote in 2016. About 11% of them decided to cast a ballot in this year’s Republican primary, in which Trump ran unopposed, according to the analysis using data from L2, a political data firm. That’s a strong indicator that those voters are likely to vote again this year.
Many of the Republican volunteers in Butler County are women, and their message is that Democrats just don’t understand parts of the country where schools close for the start of hunting season, said Trish Lindsay, the wife of the local party chairman as well as the vice-chair.While the pandemic is often viewed as a millstone on the president’s popularity, Republicans here say it’s given Trump an extra push. His supporters said the restrictions set by Democratic Gov.
We don’t need him here in Pittsburgh, stop embarrassing our state!💙🇺🇸🙏🏻
Sounds like desperation!
Living next to and having worked in Butler county, I can say for certain that the county is home to several popular suburban areas just north of Pittsburgh that are likely attracting more democratic voters.
I admire ppl w/goals - 'Bill Adams...having proudly opened up a suction-cup factory in Butler County...'
He will get much more.
And?
It will be hard for Trump to expand his base. Pennsylvania is not all that Red anymore
If they’re smart they’ll vote for the right person to lead America
They sound desperate just like this text I got in AZ.
Judging from his rallies, they’re pretty engaged everywhere.
Trump waiting on a red wave on Election Day. He really should stop 🛑 talking to Russia 🇷🇺 out load. 😂 😂 😂 😂
Be careful what you wish for. Who knows how many Republicans are voting for Biden.🤷🏽
Why the urgency? I thought GOPhers had the 2020 elections lockstepped up. Republicans relax. Go fishing. 😷
Thanks to the riots he will clear 96%

Another reason I am voting for realDonaldTrump is because in Judaism it’s better to be enthusiastic and passionate about life in general. realDonaldTrump is the most passionate person to run for re-election His rallies. His energy. His personality. biden is too cold!
he will literally have to dig them up
The smart, moderate Pennsylvania Republican will be ridin wid Biden!
How can your news organization ignore the info about the Bidens dealing put forth by business partner of Hunter Biden that joe Biden was aware & involved put forth on Tucker Carlson show tonight?!
BOBULINSKI?
Lol. All you hacks are gonna be crying again. Can’t wait.
The same political party that impeached President Donald Trump over a phone call about Joe Biden’s foreign corruption is now telling you to blatantly ignore Joe Biden’s foreign corruption. Let that sink in.
This isn't really news. Why are you simping for Trump?
Why the fuck would you vote for trump anyway. Damn!
The GOP reek of desperation
They need who?
Are the paying $250 like the rallies ?
If that demographic even supports him there.
LOL your propaganda is laughable...
Some of whom would never vote Trump again.
TRUMP I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY
For the record, this is what Butler County did... If they have to find (and beg for) GOP voters in a County that went HEAVILY for 45 in 2016...they are in TROUBLE. KevDGrussing
I love all these stories about what Trump needs to do. I cannot wait to read about why the Biden campaign failed
Ummm riots? Happening now?
You shouldn’t have killed them, realDonaldTrump. TrumpCovidFailure TrumpTheMassMurderer
after these Riots in Philly Trump is gna carry Pennsylvania with ease
Boy, I bet that’s a real diverse group
wow
🤣🤣🤣🤣🖤💛😷
At least I know one Butler county republican voting straight democratic - go Dad!
Dear GOP, get a candidate who isn’t a piece of suit, and maybe more folks in PA may like you. But it sounds like you plan on burning with the house, so go for it.
Trump said he doesn't really like going to Pennsylvania. How these morons can vote for him is just bizarre.
trying to scrape the bottom of a barrel energy
Hopefully some of them figured out he’s garbage and will give themselves a chance and vote for Joe.
Begging for votes now? Desperate times in Trump world!
🤮🤮🤮
