PENNSYLVANIA: REMEMBER THIS ARTICLE ON THE 2016 ELECTION? DON'T LET TRUMP AND HIS GANG OF REPUBLICAN TRAITORS, AIDED BY MOSCOW, HURT YOUR STATE ANY FURTHER.

 DON'T LET THESE FASCIST RUSSIAN STOOGES DO ANY MORE DAMAGE.

DEMOCRATS IN PENNSYLVANIA: DON'T BE SCAMMED AGAIN!!! DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT IN PENNSYLVANIA? REMEMBER 2016...

THE SPECIAL ELECTION ON MARCH,13,2018 IN PENNSYLVANIA HAD THE DEMOCRATS FEELING CONFIDENT...

REALLY? HOW ABOUT THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. 

IS THE STATE PARTY LEADERSHIP ACTUALLY 

GOING TO PAY ATTENTION: THIS TIME!!!!

HERE ARE THE RESULTS FROM 2012 AND 2016                       

ELECTION RESULTS FOR PRESIDENT.                                      

PENNSYLVANIA- 2012 ELECTION. TOTAL # OF DEMOCRAT\REPUBLICAN VOTES: 5,670,708.

TOTAL DEMOCRATIC VOTES- 2,990,274.

TOTAL REPUBLICAN VOTES- 2,680,434.

MARGIN OF DEMOCRATIC VICTORY- 309,840 VOTES.

PENNSYLVANIA- 2016 ELECTION.  TOTAL # OF DEMOCRATIC/REPUBLICAN VOTES: 5,897,174.  UP +226,466 VOTES FROM 2012 ELECTION.

TOTAL DEMOCRATIC VOTES- 2,926,441 VOTES, LOSS OF 63,833 VOTES FROM 2012 ELECTION.

TOTAL REPUBLICAN VOTES-  2,970,733 VOTES, GAIN OF +290,299 VOTES.

HERE IS A BREAKDOWN:

The TOTAL # OF  DEMOCRAT/REPUBLICAN VOTES INCREASED +226,466 votes from

2012-2016.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LOST 63,833 VOTES BETWEEN 2012 AND 2016, OR ABOUT -2.1%. In itself, that's 

not a drastic decline. It would be considered a result that is well within normal expectations.

HOWEVER, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NUMBERS ARE ANOTHER MATTER. AN INCREASE OF +290,299 VOTES REPRESENTS ABOUT AN + 10.8% INCREASE.

This number, (+290,299), is more than 4 times the number 

of votes that the Democrats lost.

TO ACHIEVE THE TOTAL OF 2,970,733 VOTES IN 2016, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NEEDED A SCENARIO LIKE THE FOLLOWING TO HAPPEN:

EVERY SINGLE VOTER WHO CAST A BALLOT FOR THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE IN 2012, HAD TO DO SO AGAIN IN 2016: 2,680,434 VOTES.

EVERY NEW VOTER WHO CAST A BALLOT FOR EITHER THE DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, HAD TO CHOOSE REPUBLICAN: +226,466 VOTES.

THAT TOTAL= 2,906,900 IS STILL SHORT OF THE "OFFICIAL" TOTAL OF 2,970,733 VOTES.

HOW COULD THIS BE? THE REPUBLICANS WERE STILL 63,833 VOTES SHORT OF THE FINAL NUMBER. WELL, GO BACK A FEW PARAGRAPHS AND CHECK OUT THE NUMBER OF VOTES THE DEMOCRATS LOST FROM 2012-2016= -63,833.

TO ACHIEVE A TOTAL OF 2,970,733 VOTES IN 2016, HERE IS RUNDOWN OF WHAT THE REPUBLICANS NEEDED TO HAPPEN:

EVERY REPUBLICAN VOTER FROM 2012, RETURNS AND VOTES REPUBLICAN AGAIN IN 2016: 2,680,434.

EVERY NEW VOTER WHO SELECTS EITHER DEM.\REP. IN 2016, CHOOSES REP.: 226,466.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE 63,833 VOTERS THE DEM. PARTY LOST BETWEEN 2012- 2016, RETURNS TO THE POLLS AND VOTES REPUBLICAN.

2,680,434 + 226,466 + 63,833 = 2,970,733.

THIS IS LUDICROUS. NO REASONABLE INDIVIDUAL WHO LOOKS AT THESE NUMBERS COULD TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY. 

THIS ELECTION WAS A SHAM. 

DON'T TAKE MY WORD, GO OVER THE RESULTS CAREFULLY. 

DEMOCRATS IN PENNSYLVANIA: DON'T BE SCAMMED AGAIN!!!

TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA, ON THE EVE OF THE 2020 RUNOFF ELECTION.

I WAS A GEORGIA RESIDENT FOR 5+ YEARS, AS AN UNDERGRADUATE AT VALDOSTA 

STATE COLLEGE. (NOW UNIV.)

I REMEMBER THE KIDDING I RECEIVED IN THE DORMS AS A "YANK", BUT I LEARNED

VERY QUICKLY THAT THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA WERE KIND AND WELCOMING, WHO 

TREATED ME, AND OTHER STUDENTS FROM OUTSIDE THE REGION, WITH RESPECT AND

 TOLERANCE. 

THIS INCLUDED FELLOW STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS WELCOMING ME INTO THEIR 

HOMES DURING HOLIDAY RECESSES AT VSC, WHEN RETURNING TO MY HOME IN MASS.

WOULD BE A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. 

GEORGIA, THE HATE AND IGNORANCE OF DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ALLIES IS NOT 

YOU. THE LOVE OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND BEHAVIOR THAT IS DIGNIFIED AND 

HONORABLE SHOULD BE YOUR LEGACY. DON'T LET DONALD TRUMP AND HIS 

CANDIDATES SHAPE THE DESTINY OF YOUR GREAT STATE.

WITH GRATITUDE AND RESPECT,

DAVID MCDONALD.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN TREASON ISN'T ENOUGH?

 Trump will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Rep. Devin Nunes.

SCUM RECOGNIZING SCUM...IS PUTIN INVITED, OR MAYBE THE HEAD OF THE GRU? MEDAL OF FREEDOM...IS NOW THE MEDAL OF TREASON.
