Traveling through the West I saw a good number of Trump hats, signs, etc. But, I have been surprised the last few days. I walk different routes in southern Wisconsin. One of my routes is along Lake Monona on the east side of Madison. This is maybe the most hardcore liberal bastion in this country. You NEVER see an American flag displayed. When Bush was prez almost every house had a "Stop The War" sign. They disappeared when Obama took over the wars. These are middle and upper middle class liberals. Not the elitist University professors where the drunken law prof lives on the west side. These are teachers, govt. workers, etc. No issue or person got them more animated than Walker. They were CRUSHED when their hissy fit recall failed. What has surprised me is the dearth of Hillary signs. This is not hyperbole, I have only seen ONE!! I have seen HUNDREDS of Bernie signs. Understand, many of these people are man hating lesbian feminists, Hillary voters almost assuredly. I know the signs don't reflect the true numbers. I surmise probably 65-70% are Bernie supporters, the rest Hillary. So, it would appear the Hillary voters are ashamed in their local environs of showing their support for Hillary. They'll vote for her, but they aren't proud of it on the east side of Madison. I think this is telling.
Someone here almost had a fucking stroke over Mr. French. A lot of wasted energy, now wasn't it. I think some Trump fanatics just need someone other than Hillary to hate. They have so much hate they need different people on whom to vent that hate. Who will be the next Mr. French?

Same here. The Bernies are everywhere - some of the worst drivers you've ever seen, but they're the most enthused of anybody (of course a lot of Trump people are worried about the illegals or the Lefties defacing anything bearing the Trump logo, so that's something of an unknown).
There's very little enthusiasm for Cacklepants and the Demos are worried. Of course, as long as they have the Whigs and the NeverTrumpers to do their dirty work, I guess they figure they've got a shot.

I wish that plane calm flights all the way to Andrews AFB this January.
Interesting point.
The Hildabeast is running significantly behind her vote tallies from '08. CA is down 30%, Jersey a little less.
She's also facing more party dissension than The Donald, aggravated by AP's well-planned little vote-suppression stunt Monday.
Some expansion on that point.
Hillary's gotten 1.5 million fewer votes than '08. Overall, the Demos have had 7 million fewer votes.
As a contrast, Trump broke Bush '41's primary record by 1.4 million votes. The Rs also set a party record this year with over 28 million votes, 39% higher than '08.
Looks like there may be something to that enthusiasm gap.
