Trumps is in!

That doesn't mean squat. Once you leave the DC suburbs and drive to rural Maryland, you hardly see a Hillary sign and Trump signs are everywhere. However, Trump has <0.1% of winning Maryland per 538. Conversely, in suburban DC and Baltimore, you see precious few signs from either candidate, yet Trump will struggle to get more than a handful of votes in these areas. Similarly, Trump may have a lot of yard signs in redneck/rural areas of central Florida, but that means nothing about how the population centers of Florida will vote.

Peter's blog usually isn't political, but as he says, these are not normal times. There is more, all good: http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=8864

Trump's base has been conned by the Republican Party since the last century.

There are virtually no signs for either candidate in my neighborhood.

They are fired up.

Of course they are, that's what a demagogue does.

Same here.

Alabama is not a swing state.

There are a few signs out for candidates for local offices, but virtually nothing for Trump or Clinton.

Plus there are no ads on TV unless you are watching one of the Pensacola Florida stations whose signal reaches over here. .

Neither does all this crowing and fist bumping by the Hillarybots about her impending landslide victory.

The only thing that matters are those numbers that will start coming in next Tuesday night.

None in my neighborhood. There were a couple of Trump signs but those were taken down after the tape was released.

Probably because they were afraid of being attacked by Clinton thugs.

These Hillarybots are some of the nastiest people on earth.

Having your yard sign stolen is being attacked? But being shoved, punched and kicked at a Trump rally isn't?

Same here though we live in probably a 50-50 split area, well educated and upscale. My take is that no one is really very exited about either candidate and openly admitting your preference may lead to derision.

My wife usually lets some candidates for Democratic Party place signs in our front yard, but don't see any this year. She knows better than to put one out for H--> and she gets belligerent at the mention of Dump.
