I built this to track swings in Scranton 2012 vs 2016. Insane to see movement of 31, 35, 41 (!) points D to R in four years—and realize Trump still *lost* these precincts. Theory on the ground: Hillary hit rock bottom, Biden's playing with house money. https://t.co/UL8dUXq2qe https://t.co/vVMQLYGHGB — PolitiTweet.org

John McLane: retired lawyer, loyal Dem. He voted Hillary, but knows a ton of people who didn't -- and *why* they didn't. He says they're coming home. "Biden is much more relatable to these voters. A lot of them will come back to the Democratic Party." https://t.co/UL8dUXq2qe https://t.co/qOCW2MtEdB — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Barbuti is an autism parapro. He didn't vote in 2016, either. He's a Democrat who says Clinton "was the wrong person to win this kind of area." The last 3.5 years taught him not take anything for granted. He's "definitely" turning out for Biden 11/3 https://t.co/UL8dUXq2qe https://t.co/N4rWPsd5BD — PolitiTweet.org

Bill & Bob McHale are brothers. Bill, a lifelong Dem, sat out 2016 and may not vote in 2020, either. ("I’m not real happy with my party these days.") Bob, a conservative indy, "couldn't stomach" Trump and stayed home too. Not sure if he'll vote in 2020. https://t.co/AbFxHHr8Yq — PolitiTweet.org

Kathy & Butch Manuel of Scranton. She works at the hospital. He drives an armored truck. She's a Dem who voted Trump in 16. He didn't vote, but likes Trump a lot. She won't vote Trump again.

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

The talk about Trump failing to win over minorities & stem the exodus of suburbanites misses a larger point. Politics is first and foremost about having a base. And there’s reason to believe Trump’ base—working class whites—is stagnant, if not shrinking. https://t.co/eWKNjBb7Il — PolitiTweet.org

We assume TRUMP maxed out white-working class support in 2016. Not true. He left a *ton* of points on the board, particularly in places like Scranton. Juicing that vote is his best chance to win reelection. It doesn’t look good. ✉️Letter to Washington✉️ https://t.co/UL8dUXq2qe — PolitiTweet.org
