It is just a money raising product to sell and hopefully, the candidates get their email addresses for their lists. I think a reason for less signs in this election cycle is that people may be voting for one or the other but, indicated by favorable ratings, they are both so unpopular, few want to advertise for their choice.<br /><br />I do think there is also the fear factor of retaliation for putting up anti Trump signs (I don't believe it happens the other direction). In a small town particularly, I always felt that when you depend on a small pool of contractors who tend to be the "Local Boys" and tend to be Republican, you might better keep your politics to yourself if you want their services. <br /><br />Down here in Raleigh, NC, I have seen several Trump signs on properties but also Hillary bumper stickers. Not many in either case.Ed Kirsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13138258138188807848noreply@blogger.com
