Alright Ohio, let's come from behind! 👍💪👐⏳


My brother came to pick me up so I could do my laundry and we went through town, and I am greatly pleased to announce that I see a half-dozen new Clinton signs in yards in my heavily Republican County in North Central Ohio!

These signs have sprung up in the past week and to make it even more awesome, the sign that I mentioned a few times in the past month on the state highway that said, "deplorable and proud of it", in handwritten marker now has a fresh opponent in the next yard, as the neighbors have put up a Hillary Clinton sign to give a very stark contrast! I'm sure the Trumpsters are thinking "WTF!". And, as many of you know, putting a sign up for Hillary in a deep red county sometimes turns ugly for the property/pet owners.

None of us are certain who will win Ohio but it's extremely hopeful to see several new signs in a small town of about 6000 people. And, for those that challenge those of us who don't live in large pro-Clinton areas for stating what we see and live with and know, understand we want to be giving good news when we have it. And I have it today in spades!

I even saw a poll today that showed Ohio tied again. To Victory!!!

This evening, thanks to my one close friend who is not white. Her friends are mostly AA women, so I'm gonna see if they've voted. My friend is very soft spoken, so she'll appreciate me doing the talking, as you all know I like to do... Hahaha

You bring up a great point. In all my years I have never been asked about who I'm voting for so I'm sure many people either aren't receptive to answering that question even when they get it, or their backgrounds don't correlate well to being the type of person who would even be asked!

lots of Trump. But recently some Clinton. Clinton people are leery about publicly advertising their choice, because these Trumpkins are insane. And of course, this state is gun nuts. You don't know how far these idiots will go in their fervor. I always had yard signs, but not this year. Not in this crazy atmosphere. I believe there are many, many people like me in Ohio.

No yard sign for me this year...the last time I dared to put up a sign was for Penzone Maricopa County AZ Sheriff... - knocked down..and I live in a 55+ community....scared old white men..yep!

This year we will just see how much more the county voters want to pay for arpaio - the tab now stands at $142M

nut bags. I am not easily intimidated but I do not want to be ambushed at my home or in my car. I also cannot afford anyone tampering with my vehicle.

This is why I think their is a silent vote for Hillary. They wanna talk about a hidden Trashbag vote? These people are ashamed to admit they are voting for Trash...ummmm no they're not.
