I guess the results remain to be seen, but some of these things go together, I think. The fact that Pennsylvania will be hit hardest by any new gas tax, and pacified with the boon from steel tariffs is probably not coincidental. 

Pennsylvania has largely been hemorrhaging voters in recent years, losing electoral votes each year. 2016 was first year it swung to Republican in quite some time. One of the counties that went blue holds Pennsylvania's largest steel mill--the country's second largest steel mill. And while Democrats largely ignored Pennsylvania during the campaign, a mistake they probably won't make again.

 

 

and..... IT MATTERS
