MSNBC Segment says that Donald Trump will probably turn Pennsylvania red again

MSNBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff went to Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, and talked with the mayor and a former steelworker about their town’s economic troubles and how that could benefit Republicans in the 2016 elections. Pennsylvania has for years been a reliable state for Democrats, however, it is now considered a swing state after years of Democratic Party control and the loss of many jobs. Soboroff first talked with Mayor Dwan Walker, a Democrat, as they walked down a street in downtown. “So, who are your constituents?” Soboroff asked. “Staunch Democrats. Aliquippa is a staunch Democratic town. Always has been. Blue collar, blue steel, yep, that’s us,” Walker said. “I heard Beaver County for the first time ever, has got two Republican County what, commissioners, and one Democrat. What happened?” Soboroff said.

“They don’t believe in the politics anymore. They don’t believe in the candidates anymore,” Walker said. Soboroff then toured the town with George Sudar, a former steel worker and went to where the factory once stood that Sudar worked at. It’s now an empty lot. Sudar said that the factories once employed up to 13,000 people. “Pennsylvania, usually you think it’s in the Democratic column,” Soboroff said. “It was a blue state,” Sudar said. “A blue state, maybe not this year,” Soboroff said. “I agree with you,” Sudar said. “How come?” Soboroff asked. “He said, ‘We’re going to do this, we’re going to build this, we’re going to do that, I’m gonna bring jobs,’” Sudar said in reference to Donald Trump, a Republican.
