Millionaires Row where I live (a stretch of mansions on the lakefront of NE Ohio) in years past has proudly displayed Dimson, McCain, Romney and Kasich signs in front of their tree lawns.

This year . . . not ONE Trump sign. Not ONE. There was an "Elect Jesus" and a "Portman for Senate".

Not one Trump sign.

In fact, I'm not seeing a Trump sign anywhere in the middle/lower income sections of ANY neighborhood I'm driving through.

A better sign is that there are more local politicians being supported than national ones.

Guess people are simply fed up with what they've been dealt.
