Well they may be right. Though I have never seen any signs or bumper stickers (he's not real popular in South Fla), that kid in Jupiter who killed two people and cannibalized the guy was wearing a Make America Great Again hat.

Freedom is irreplaceable, but whoever owns that house has a screw loose.

One of the things I like about Texas is the wear it on your sleeve patriotism. During my eight years here..U.S. flags in so many different places. Texas flags as well....which some might see as unpatriotic, but I don't.

The thing that seems different about this election cycle....something that I don't remember previously being aware of...is the number of pick up trucks I see with sturdy flag mounts in the center of the bed. The flag mounts are being utilized (I notice these while driving my car)......usually for large U.S. flags, but sometimes for.........

The flag on I 75 is hard for anyone to miss, but the compound is practicing its second amendment rights even though offensive to many, including African Americans who think the Confed flag portrays a pro-slavery stance.

Our community has a ton of rednecks in pickups with huge Confed Flag from the bed of their trucks. They're giving the middle finger to the PC crowd. Without a doubt they're pro-Trump.

BTW, if you quizzed these redneck hillbillies about the Civil War (ie name one Confed General other than Robert E. Lee), probably most couldn't name one. Historical reasons for them showing the flag? My ass.

we've got some really swell people here in FL....today news of a tip comment left by one couple for their Hispanic descent (but born in the USA) waitress here.....Not telling, but anyone want to guess which candidate this idiotic couple is voting for? I'm thinking they're going to vote for the Big Orange Bloviating Idiot.

I'm surprised the flag isn't a Cleveland Cavaliers one. You know, since you guys used the 1.3 million folks attending the Cavs' parade celebration to depict Trump's rally in Florida.

I see the same thing where I live in rural Maryland. I see Trump flags and signs but none for Hillary. And guess what? Trump is going to get his ass kicked in Maryland, just as every other GOP candidate has.

And this boys and girls is why projecting a winner based on flag sightings is really really dumb.

If Clinton wins there will be a major shift in what many think the word "America" stands for. In our history so many Americans sign up to fight for America but now we see America is being attacked from within. Beware.
