The second Podcast I chose to review is, The View From Pennsylvania: A Swing District
In A Swing State. I found it on npr.org
and I chose it because I live in Pennsylvania, although Bucks County is on the
opposite side of the state as me. It’s
close to Philadelphia and Allentown. Bucks
County is a swing district that have voted democratic since 1988 in
Presidential elections, but they have also elected Republicans to Senate and
congressional seats. In 2012, President
Obama won by only 4,000 votes out of 300,000.
Trump wants to compete in Bucks County.
One Trump supporter, Jim Worthington, a Pennsylvania delegate to the Republican
convention stated:
“How big could he screw up? I mean,
what could he do that would be any worse than what's happened with other
presidents that weren't effective? I mean, I really don't think he's going to
push the button. So short of that, what could happen? My contention is - the
way things have gone so far haven't worked. Give a chance to somebody who's an
outsider.”
