Trump's Pennsylvania 支持者s grapple with new 告訴,告発s

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) ― Kathryn Doherty would never date the likes of Donald Trump and jokes that if her daughter did, she'd send her to a convent. But he'll get the 76-year-old retiree's 投票(する) for 大統領,/社長.

"井戸/弁護士席 I'm displeased, terribly, and I'm certainly not in love with his personality," said Doherty, who lives in Yardley, Pennsylvania. "But I think he would do a good 職業 for the country. And やめる honestly, Hillary's stolen so much, taken so much, lied so much, cheated so much, I can't have that."

Here in Pennsylvania's battleground 郡s ― and in nearby coal country, the heart of Trumpland ― 可能性のある 投票者s in this 決定的な 明言する/公表する are grappling with new waves of 罪を負わせるing (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状), 含むing 主張s of 性の 強襲,強姦 against Trump and new 切り開く/タクシー/不正アクセスd emails from his 競争相手, Hillary Clinton.

As they 重さを計る two already 歴史的に 人気がない 候補者s, many see the 選挙 as a grim choice. But interviews with more than two dozen 投票者s in the 明言する/公表する also 示唆する that many even lukewarm Trump 支持者s are standing by their 候補者, にもかかわらず 仮定/引き受けることs he's in freefall.

Speaking over soup, Doherty said she doesn't like Trump's talk about women, as 逮捕(する)d in a 2005 ビデオ in which he bragged about 課すing himself on them.

"Believe me, I would never date anybody like him," she said. "And if someone like that showed up at my house to date my daughter," she 割れ目d, "I'd have to send her to a convent."

But she and her husband, Len, both 登録(する)d 共和国の/共和党のs, are willing to look past Trump's 欠陥s because they 信用 the 部外者 実業家 more than Clinton and agree with him on 問題/発行するs, like the direction of the 最高裁判所.

"Of course I wish there were a better choice," said Doherty. "But there's not. You を取り引きする what you get."

It was a 料金ing echoed by Eleanor Reigel, an 独立した・無所属 請負業者 for a cosmetics company who is not 登録(する)d with a party. Shopping at a Walgreen's in nearby Levittown, Reigel 表明するd 失望 with Trump's words but says she'll probably 投票(する) for him.

"I'm a woman," she said. "I was 伴う/関わるd in 肩書を与える IX," the 目印 法律 禁じるing discriminat イオン against women in education programs or activities getting 連邦の 援助(する). "But I have to look at a bigger picture."

As a businesswoman, Reigel said, she 味方するs with Trump on 問題/発行するs like 税金 政策. "You can't 回復する character, but oh my gosh, I have to think about where are we going with our country."

In nearby Wilkes-Barre, where Trump-Pence lawn 調印するs now decorate 居住の streets と一緒に jack-o'-lanterns, support for Trump is even stronger. Even outside his 熱烈な 決起大会/結集させるs, 投票者s 繰り返して 解任するd the ビデオ and 強襲,強姦 主張s as a 連係させた マスコミ 強襲,強姦 in cahoots with the Clinton (選挙などの)運動をする.

"He 会談 like we think," said Kathy Baxter, 76, a lifelong 民主党員 who lives in nearby White 港/避難所 and changed her party 登録 so she could 投票(する) for Trump in the GOP 最初の/主要な.

Baxter, who serves as a 管理人 for her handicapped daughter, 解任するd the hubbub over the ビデオ 発言/述べるs as "silly" considering how much is at 火刑/賭ける.

"Every guy says that, as far as I know, you know what I mean?" she asked. "That's their nature. They talk like that." As for Clinton, she said: "The lying and the emails and the everything ― that should be brought up more than somebody 説 something like he said."

Many here are 特に eager for change, like Dave Johnson, 48, of 英貨の/純銀の, Pennsylvania. Johnson used to work as a car salesman, but switched to the 保険 産業 because 商売/仕事 was so bad. Yet his company dropped his health 保険 because of costs.

"Even in the 保険 産業, I can't get 保険," he quipped, 非難するing 大統領 Obama's health care 精密検査する.

Johnson, a 民主党員 since high school, changed his party 登録 about a month ago b ecause of Trump. He also 解任するd the groping 主張s, 公式文書,認めるing that Trump has 否定するd them, and says he believes that Trump is the best person to try to turn a broken, dispirited country around.

"It's a mess," he said. "I'm enthusiastic for a change. I don't think we need any more elitist 政治家,政治屋."

Still others remain 麻ひさせるd by 不決断 with just over three weeks to go before 選挙 Day.

共和国の/共和党の Anne Snyder, a nurse in Sugarloaf 郡区, says she's considering not 投票(する)ing for the first time because she just can't stomach the 候補者s.

"I don't know what I'm going to do," said Snyder, 63. "I really think I cannot in good 良心 投票(する) for Trump, but I'm not a Hillary 支持者 either."

And for some, the 最新の 発覚s have indeed been the final straw.

Robert Henson had been planning to cross party lines to 投票(する) for Donald Trump until he saw that 2005 tape of Trump bragging about groping women.

"I watched it a couple times, '原因(となる) I couldn't believe he'd said things like that," said Henson, of Pittston, Pennsylvania. "You know, 特に a rich person like that, somebody in the public 注目する,もくろむ. And he's got daughters." The 54-year old father and retired 小売 経営者/支配人 had had enough.

"That just 廃虚d it for me," he said. As for Clinton? "I don't want to 投票(する) for her either," he said. "It's going to be a rough one."
