Report from the field in Butler, PA

[Joe Cool]

I reported pre-assassination attempt #1 that there was a dearth of Trump signage compared to 2016 and 2020.

Well, assassination #1 changed all that and I would say there is about the same or maybe even more signage now for the rapist/felon/fraud/failure/loser compared to 2016 or 2020.

BUT, the Harris/Walz signed have really made an appearance in the area in the last week or so. The Harris/Walz signage might be surpassing the Biden/Harris signs in 2020.


Yard signs don't vote, but I am starting to see encouraging signs in a red area.
Even though the rapist/felon/fraud/failure/loser inevitably will win Butler County, shaving just a few percentage points off his mark in red areas will give Harris/Walz the win.

For those that remember, I called the Fetterman Senate race and Shapiro governor race in 2022. I told people to stop worrying, those races are in the bag for the Democratic candidates. I am beginning to get the same feeling about 2024 about what I am starting to see.

1. Harris signs were late to be made and delivered

People who bought them early are just getting them in the mail.

2. Very good point.

3. The demand might have turned out to be greater than they expected.

I ordered mine right after the convention and it just arrived last Friday.

5. I ordered a Harris one just after she was announced as the heir apaprent

Got in a week ago. I ordered a Harris-Walz sign as soon as they were available, got it this weekend.

She's crushing Trump in findraising, signs will follow that too. Although some Trump signs are from 2016 and 2020.

4. I was thinking of opening one of those...

...carnival water-gun booths there on the rally site, but I can't find any trump head balloons.

6. I don't display campaign signs or have bumper stickers for a simple reason.

The signs get ripped up or stolen and I really don't want to cover the $200 co-pay for a car paint job. My close friends do the same. The number of displayed signs vastly undercounts the Democratic support.

7. HEY OUR HEADQUARTERS JUST GOT OUR SIGNS LAST WEEK

N/T but very important. Like I said before I have huge boobs and they don't allow me to see my keyboards so sometimes it's stuck on caps I'm sorry I didn't notice until now and it's too late

8. Stand-In Stand-up Signage

In my N. Fla. gulag of Republican rednecks I am using signage supporting the opponent of our standing mayor who is the son of our useless Congressional Rep. The MESSAGE is given without risk of mindless property damage.

9. Signs

They need to get signs in SE PA-counties outside of Philly - ASAP

11. "They need to get signs in SE PA-counties outside of Philly - ASAP"

I live a couple blocks from the border of Philadelphia and Montgomery Counties and was out driving around yesterday (I try to take my car "out for a walk" at least once a week to keep the battery charged and run errands) and on both sides of the County line were literally "clusters" of signs in many yards.

I.e., they had a Harris-Walz sign and usually a Congressional sign (either Dwight Evans on the Philly side or Madeleine Dean on the Montco side), A Bob Casey sign for Senate, the PA Auditor General sign (Malcolm Kenyatta, who I forgot won the (D) primary), and then I think some had state Rep. signs, and some other ones. I.e., some yards had like 4 - 5 signs.

I have my one Harris-Walz one (from a 3rd party vendor).

From the 5 mile circuit, I only saw one yard with a McCormick sign but thankfully not one 45 sign (which was a BIG difference compared to 2016, and so far, even different from 2020, when a couple 45 signs dotted the landscape).

14. In my corner of Beaver county,

I've seen Trump signs popping up but in different yards than I did in 2016 and 2020, with just a couple of exceptions. It's not to the same extent as 2016 or 2020, at least yet. I did notice the Trumpers a few houses up from me put out Trump, McCormick and Kozak (state rep) signs today, but it's not at their 2016 level where their house was festooned with rw signs.

The past couple of days, I've seen some Harris/Walz signs out, but I haven't seen any on properties where I know there were Biden signs in 2020. I know our county Dem party only got a limited shipment of Harris signs a couple weeks ago, so maybe that's it.
