That's about it.
Well, many of them are illegal. Now you know why dems want illegals to vote, and vote often.

The Hillary signs are all hidden in a "secret" bunker in Benghazi. Ironically, her request to retrieve them went unanswered... something about emails being deleted.

This is what happens when people confine themselves to voting for the candidate most likely to beat their least favorite candidate that they think their perceived opposition will vote for, who in turn are mostly voting for that candidate for the same reason vice versa. All this rather than simply voting for the candidate they truly want.

Did that not make sense?

Exactly. Welcome to American politics.

A real man would have a Gary Johnson sticker. People without stickers are just pansies.

I'm back home today in my nice, politically aware neighborhood. No yard signs. A small handful on roadsigns, but not nearly the number I'm used to seeing.

Is this a symptom of how unenthusiastic we are about our choices?
Nothing here either. To be fair, hardly see any Trump yard signs either. That's of course understandable. I don't have one out either.

I think some municipalities have banned Hillary signs as the logo can be mistaken for a Hospital sign.

As a non-American, I don't quite understand why people in America have those yard signs or bumper stickers.

I value privacy and don't think it's the public's business to know who I support. Is there a culture in America of wanting everyone to know your political views?

I am not seeing many in my area. The local radio had a call in if you are secretly voting for Trump, but don't want to tell anyone. They decided not to take names you were either John or Jane many people called in and said they were voting Trump . Not one call for Hillary, matter of fact most callers had very unpleasant things to say about Hillary.


As for the poster who stated Hispanics not for Trump.......31% of Hispanic voters support him and growing.

I think its refreshing not to see miles of signs. I assume, many are worried about others not being able to handle that others have opinions different than theirs and vandalize. As for the bumper stickers of any kind, I don't see how anyone puts those on their car in the first place.

Well you tell us who you support and we will tell you if you have the correct person. If Republicans thought the GOP was doing such a wonderful job, Trump would not have gotten elected. It is more about sending a message to the GOP stop acting like the Democrat party. Where as Hillary some what talked Sanders into bowing out......who is really in control of the Democrat party?


I really don't see where Sanders, Stein or Johnson are any different.

I have seen more than one Ron Paul sign out.. Made me smile.
