This is just a small comment

but I just returned from walking the local lake. When I returned to my car, a car parked directly
behind my car had a Bernie bumper sticker! I marveled at how there were 2 parked cars up
here with Bernie bumper stickers! California may be blue, but this county is quite red. It was
just a cheap thrill.

Once a month I drive from 4 to 6 hours (depending on traffic) north to visit my dad in Santa Barbara County. I have never seen a
Bernie bumper sticker!

I see at least one Bernie sticker a day (and on various cars - I make a mental note so I'll know if I'm seeing a new one or simply seeing a neighbor's car over and over again - I don't count those again).

I've seen them on old junker cars. I've seen them on average "parent" cars (taking my son to school) and I've seen them on expensive cars. No yard signs, yet, but no one has those out, yet.

I've seen three Hillary. Two Carsons, a Rubio and a Trump.

By far I see more Bernie stickers and I'm not saying that because I notice them more. I've been trying notice all of the candidates so I can get an idea for the support in my area.

P.S. And the Bernie stickers aren't all those free ones his campaign gave out - they vary as much as the cars do.

If you really want a candidate, you're more likely to adorn your car with their name.

I turned my sticker into a magnet (my company has a division that is a federal contractor, so they frown on us having federal election campaign stickers on our vehicles in the parking lot), so I could take it off when I was parked at work. I got a new car two weeks ago and the bumper is all fiberglass! I'm trying to figure out a way to put the sticker back on my car. What I do right now is roll up next to the fellow Bernie fan and just hold up my sticker for them to see in support. LOL. I get a lot of smiles and waves that way.

I live in a Blue State and haven't seen stickers for anyone. But, I saw a couple of people with Bernie pins.

One official and two unofficial.

Seems odd that I have only seen 2 others...and in Los Angeles.

Hopefully people that are getting the free stickers are putting them on, as I've seen posts on Twitter and Reddit, that people have been recently receiving them.

What happened to your Trump sticker. He told me someone had ripped it off of his car. I made no further comment
