‘I really despise him’: Trump is hemorrhaging support among white women in a state he can’t afford to lose

When President Donald Trump narrowly won Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes in 2016, he did so with help of many white women — about half of whom voted for him in the Keystone State four years ago. But reporter Julia Terruso, in an article published by the Philadelphia Inquirer on October 19, stresses that Trump is struggling with that demographic in Pennsylvania in 2020.

“Only 37% of white women in the state support him, according to a Quinnipiac survey earlier this month — a finding similar to other polls in Pennsylvania and other battleground states,” Terruso explains. “If that big shift holds, it could help deliver Pennsylvania — and the White House — to Democratic candidate Joe Biden.”

It isn’t hard to understand why Pennsylvania could make or break Trump’s chances of winning a second term. If former Vice President Biden, on November 3, wins every state that 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton won four years ago but flips Michigan and Wisconsin, Trump can’t afford to lose Pennsylvania. In that scenario, Trump’s path to victory would have to include Pennsylvania as well as the Sun Belt states in which Biden is competitive — a list that includes Arizona, Florida and Georgia.

Winning every state that Clinton carried and flipping Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania woud get Biden to 270 electoral votes. Trump knows that, which is why he has been campaigning so aggressively in the Keystone State. But according to Terruso, Trump has made things more difficult for himself by alienating so many of Pennsylvania’s white women.

5. Not true. White women of all backgrounds are attracted

to Trump's rugged, yet sensitive masculinity

Isn't that right?

A classy, wealthy man can have his picky of classy, sophisticated women. 130K not required!

9. Makes you wonder

Why Trump has to use prostitute’s if so many are willing.

Never heard of Clinton, Kennedy or even Ted had to resort to that. Or, even former nude models.
