Trump flipped Pennsylvania red for the first time in years in 2016.
Democrats believe this was a fluke and that they can easily win the state back in 2020.
One pollster disagrees however, especially if the Democrats nominate Elizabeth Warren.
Townhall reports:
Pollster: Anxiety Over This 2020 Candidate Could Force PA Democrats To Vote For Trump
So, is the Democrats’ impeachment push popular with their base? Probably. This is something that they’ve de facto campaigned on for nearly three years. The impeachment of Donald Trump because he won the 2016 election was not a question of ‘if’ but ‘when.’ But this is mostly an issue that appears to get the professional elite in the Democratic Party excited. There are other issues for the 2020 cycle.
In Pennsylvania, a must-win state for both sides, Democrats in the western part of the state are not happy with the Democrats’ 2020 agenda. They’re not thrilled their party is anti-fracking and pushing an agenda that will gut their health insurance. For Medicare for All to work, all private plans have to go, which includes those for union workers.
David Wasserman of the Cook Political Report noted this recently, adding there is a chasm where Democrats can fall if they come off as too insane. These folks are also not happy with the prospect of Lie-a-Watha Liz winning the nomination either:
See the tweets below:
Spent yesterday w/ a group of mostly union, anti-Trump Ds in western PA. Massive concerns about how a Warren nomination (esp. pledge to ban fracking on day one) would play out in the region.
Don't underestimate how many voters in SWPA, etc. there are still left for Ds to lose.

2016 Clinton votes in the city of Philadelphia: 584,025
2016 Clinton votes in western PA *outside* the city of Pittsburgh: 631,120
Yes, there's still a lot of room for Dems to fall.

Democrats are acting like 2020 is going to be easy for them.
They couldn’t be more wrong.
