2008 years was exceptional year so when we should consider turnout "O" factor must be considered... MyNameIsKhan Nov 2016 #13
Makes me think of Ohio in 2012. Rove melted on FAUX. leanforward Nov 2016 #5
I mean Obama won 2012 by 18k votes and HRC lost by 26k votes... 20 % to be exact... this kind MyNameIsKhan Nov 2016 #6

It looks that way. ucrdem Nov 2016 #17
As of the 2010 census, the county was 90.7% White, 3.4% Black or African American Grey Lemercier Nov 2016 #14

Luzerne was large enough county to make a difference... its one thing that R's were all fired up but MyNameIsKhan Nov 2016 #20
Here is the head of the Democratic party for Luzerne County, contact him Grey Lemercier Nov 2016 #25
Yes ... I also saw that... if the switch was real and jobs was the real reason ... then we know how MyNameIsKhan Nov 2016 #26
I dont know what else to say other than a huge amount of USA white people are blind, Grey Lemercier Nov 2016 #27
Yes this is all true.and all we can hope if Trump Kids get him in senses ... that is the only hope MyNameIsKhan Nov 2016 #31
