There's a lot of great working class people there.

The problem, I think, will be that PA. is ripe for... funny business, shall we say. Funny business a la Arizona.

that has already received or is owed favors from HRC.

In my social circle of Center baby-boomer City liberals, it's evenly split between HRC and Bernie.

I think the best case Bernie can make to these people is that Bernie can beat Trump in the GE better than HRC can. The HRC supporters I know don't believe that.
