    Trump made a mess out of immigration. Here’s hoping Biden has a better, more humane plan.

    Democrats have enthusiasm to vote Trump out.

    Philadelphia County is 45% white, 43% Black.

    The registered voters who aren't showing up to the polls are likely lower income, inner city residents who can't take time off. And, yes, most of them are probably Black.

    Do those demographics sound like Trump's people?

    I didn't think so.

    Good but not nearly what it could be. Philadelphia County has roughly 850,000 registered Democrats and Clinton got 584,000 votes. The county has 129,000 registered Republicans and Trump got 108,000 votes.
    Same with Allegheny - registered Democrats 537,000, Clinton got 367,617 votes. Registered Republicans 265,000 and Trump got 259,000 votes.

    That's roughly 500,000 votes Democrats left on the table in just those two counties.

    Sure, that’s what they want you to think. But really, the deep state in the FBI is conspiring with the media and the NWO to keep it all quiet.

    Nearly one for every electoral vote.

    With mail in voting getting to the polls shouldn't be a problem. I no longer live in Pa. but I guess I don't understand why constantly imploring Democrats in big cities to vote for Biden wouldn't work. Be interesting to see what counties like Erie and Luzerne do this time since they basically gave Trump the edge he needed.

    Exactly right. "Throw the bums out" remains the strongest of American political emotions.

    “Dem bums” sorry, just have the Brooklyn Dodgers on my mind when I see that word.

    The tweet said red counties got the overwhelming majority of the money, not red states. Which, in a state like Illinois where the overwhelming majority of the rural farming counties are red, but the urban population center of Chicago makes the state blue, that makes a lot of sense. The same dynamic should play itself out in many states.
    Plus, Trump won 2,626 of the country's 3,141 counties in 2016. Based on that alone, if you break it down by county the majority of most Federal spending will go to red counties.
