You know, people like that might as well just paint “I’m A Moron!” in giant letters on the side of the truck. Might save some effort there… ---

More Trump than Harris signs around here; which is not surprising. But I do see Harris signs. ---

I almost only see Trump signs here in Michigan, but that has always been the case over this election and the past two. I think Harris will win Michigan, though. I’d personally give her a 75% chance in this state. Still scary. ---

Depending on where you are in Tennessee you could be getting spillover intended for the North Carolina or Georgia media markets, or it could be a nationwide ad buy to get on the NFL or similar. ---

To add to the anecdotal sign evidence: In my pinkish town in a red state: in 2016 I saw some Trump signs, and almost no Clinton signs. In 2020, I saw more Trump signs than 2016, and a few Biden signs. In 2024, I am seeing more Trump signs than 2020, but…I am seeing more Harris signs than Trump signs! ---

That does seem like the kind of car you’d find at a place called “Cooter Browns”. And speaking of morons: > **[Trump says Harris was born ‘mentally impaired’ and spends rally insulting her](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-wisconsin-rally-speech-harris-mentally-impaired-b2620652.html)** > > Trump attacked Harris for her immigration policies and invoked ‘abelist’ language to do so Every accusation from the right is a confession.

He has no plan to grow our economy, no vision to bring down costs, and no plan to fix the immigration system he broke. He sank the bipartisan border deal because he’s more interested in fanning the flames of hate and division than delivering real solutions for our country. The American people deserve better than Trump’s bleak, backward-looking Project 2025 agenda. ---

I know someone who got tired of waiting after 3 weeks or so, ordered a ‘fake’ sign off Amazon, then had both… the Amazon sign and the official campaign sign… delivered the same day. ---

I was out in Geauga County (30 mins east of Cleveland as EH says) the other day and these million dollar homes with their beautiful lawns and stone gates and well-kept wooden fences and their multiple Trump flags and signs! Whoo-eeee! I don’t know why I was shocked and appalled but I was indeed shocked and appalled, both on my way in and on my way out. ---

> [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > I’ve been seeing Harris ads here in Tennessee. Is her campaign really that flush? From a deeply blue state, the opposition always throws a few ads out there to show they didn’t surrender. Trump isn’t going to win New Jersey or New York but they still buy ads, just not as much as in a battleground state. There are also some districts that can and probably will go red so they still want to get out there base. I assume it’s the same in other states that are a lock. ---

It’s unlikely that the presidential campaigns themselves are running any ads in deep blue or deep red states, but certainly state parties and other groups focused on electing down ballot offices may well run ads that highlight the presidential candidate to try to drive turnout to the benefit of state and local candidates. ---

I’m seeing Trump “I approve this message” ads on local NYC stations. Not many but a few. It happens every election cycle.
