The Love Trumps Hate signs need to go NOW!

The Democrats are holding signs that at a flash contain first Love Trump... Seriously, it does not real well on tv. And in NO way should any message sign hold his name in it like it a Republican Convention. Those signs need to go!

Agree 100%. Looks bad on TV. Can be read as &quot I) love trumps hate" or &quot I) love trump" or "love(s) trump". Also the way the word "trump" is used here is a bit obscure, referring to a "trump card".

Trump's a contrarian, and it's a common tactic for the other side to embrace criticism in an attempt to diffuse it, or to disguise a dogwhistle as some kind of joke or sarcasm. I could see it being a slogan for either side.

In any case I see "Bernie" and "trumps" but zero "Hillary" signs. That should be fixed. "Stonger together" isn't as direct as "Hillary 2016". Candidate's name should be prominent on the floor and on TV.
