pennsylvania was won by president trump in 2016 by 0.7%. by 44,000 votes. the critical areas will be president trump's support in the old mining and mill towns where the industries that once predominated america like coal, iron and steel, gave donald trump the victory in pennsylvania. and so we're going to have to see what the enthusiasm level is, remains with his base, as we go through this entire process. then you have the economy. right now the economy is good. but it doesn't seem to move democrats at all towards the president. what happens if the economy goes south? we could have a foreign policy crisis. we're 12 months away from the election. a little more than 12 months. when it's all said and done, what will independent voters do? can the president somehow someway move some independents in his direction? >> let me remind everybody, 137 million votes cast in 2016. 77,759 according to the cook political report in your three states, determined the outcome of the election. it was excellent. thank you all. >> what are your thoughts? tweet me at smerkonish

and the state of pennsylvania is calling them up. now the response rate up to this point has been about 50%, about half of those they called to duty actually show up or hire a substitute. you can get by with 50%. but once the british invasion begins. that response rate drops to 15%. the lowest rate of the entire war. and those who turned out to serve will desert before the term is over. they will go back home. so rather than 4000 militiamen pennsylvania is able to deploy about 2000 militiamen in september. by mid october pennsylvania is now down to 1200 militiamen. by january, 1770, eight the numbers are about 450. on february 15th, 1778. the main force of the militia consists of 60 men separate duty. 17 miles away from the closest -- the militia are not the only people. if we look at the washington papers of valley forge. along there are accounts of hungry experienced by the continental army. you will find report after report of the power and produce and livestock flowing from the countryside. passed valley forge into the occupied c

we picked out erie county which is in the northwest part of pennsylvania. that was a county that voted for barack obama. then a county that voted for donald trump. and then we saw massive movement back towards the democrats in 2018. we saw bob casey win that county. tom wolf, the democratic candidate for governor, easily win that county. and what you're seeing there, white women without a college degree, that is a massive bloc and that is a bloc that donald trump needs to hold on to. right now the polls indicate he's not necessarily doing that. >> i'll tell you, though -- >> can eye. >> hang on a second, ron. there are two words that are a bulwark against these trends and those are electoral college. >> yes. >> right. >> or ron, if you want to take this. some of these trends aren't happening fast enough. >> wisconsin is the single toughest state that fell to trump in 2016 because noncollege whites who are his strongest group are a bigger share of the electorate there, considerably than even michigan or pennsylvania. fewer college whites and fewer minorities
