49. More bumper stickers now than during the primaries

Sat Jun 4, 2016, 01:57 PM

Jun 2016

I am in NC and in TN. I have not seen a single yard sign for any presidential candidate in either state. Not that many bumper stickers either, and they're rarely actually on the bumpers these days. So far, a few for Trump in TN and a couple in NC; one Cruz early in TN.

Have seen a couple for Hillary just in the last month, one in each state. They were the small (about 4 inch) "stealth" ones with just the H logo. They are easily missed. Seems like there was one regular Hillary sticker back during the primary in NC.

There were a few Bernie stickers back then, mostly in NC. I have seen a big increase in the number for Bernie just the last month in TN and in NC. Several dozen seen after the race was supposedly over.

Still a lot more Obama stickers around than all the others combined. Hell, I've probably seen more leftover Romney stickers than I have ones for Trump.

Don't know that any of this means anything. Maybe that bumper stickers and window decals have gone out of style. I did recently see a "Baby on Board".

A yard sign doesn't vote. People do. tonyt53 Jun 2016 #3

And there wouldn't be any correlation right? nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #8

apparently not - the OP reports no Hillary signs, yet we know the delegate counts, don't we DrDan Jun 2016 #17

It is a bit unusual don't you think? I wonder if it could mean something. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #20

no - I don't think so - it will change during the GE DrDan Jun 2016 #22

Then we differ in opinion. LOL, but I already knew that. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #28

then what is your explanation for the lack of Hillary yard signs? DrDan Jun 2016 #34

Sorry, I am not allowed to say here. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #36

That literally nobody supports HRC and every vote for her was fraud. PeaceNikki Jun 2016 #38

yeah . . . that must be it . . . DrDan Jun 2016 #40

Ah the Peggy Noonan litmus test: She preditcted Romney would win because of all the Yard Signs out riversedge Jun 2016 #53

Apparently not, since Bernie is losing. (or has already lost). Hillary got millions more votes. Lil Missy Jun 2016 #56

Peggy Noonan only saw Romney signs in 2012 and wrote a long editorial about it emulatorloo Jun 2016 #5

I do not trust Peggy Noonan. You? nt stillwaiting Jun 2016 #30

Of course not! Lol emulatorloo Jun 2016 #46

That does it. It's clearly over. Why is Hillary even trying? nt eastwestdem Jun 2016 #6

Her supporters aren't doing much of anything to show their support. reformist2 Jun 2016 #13

not much . . . except to actually show up and vote DrDan Jun 2016 #37

I'm not claiming that there is a 1:1 correspondence, but there is NO sign of support for her. reformist2 Jun 2016 #15

1,769 - 1,501 is a pretty "strong sign of support for her" DrDan Jun 2016 #41

Her base has been less elusive at the polls than sanders onenote Jun 2016 #16

Many of us don't plop signs in our yards, or plaster our bumpers. We support her at the polls. PeaceNikki Jun 2016 #18

So she had scads of enthusiastic fans, who are all unified in their aversion to yardsigns. Amazing. reformist2 Jun 2016 #23

Not fans, *supporters*. Voters. She's a candidate, not One Direction. We have no need for "merch" PeaceNikki Jun 2016 #25

how did Ron Paul do ? JI7 Jun 2016 #19
