While driving away from the Trump rally at the Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orlando Wednesday evening, I drove though miles of Black neighborhoods trying to find my way back to the RT 408 toll road.
One thing that struck me after I drove for a half-hour in stop-and-go traffic in all--and I do mean all-Black neighborhoods finally ending up at the John Young Parkway was that there was not one 'Hillary Clinton for president' sign to be seen anywhere.
One would never know a hard-fought presidential election was in its closing days by driving through those Orlando neighborhoods. There were not any Trump signs either, but the complete lack of passion for Hillary Clinton in the Black community in Orlando was stunning.
in Orlando, pretty much everyone works, blacks shouldnt have any problem finding a job. and if they work, they will vote for Trump.
Similar situation in Dade City, which in terms of percentages has the largest number of registered Dems in FL. I saw a grand total of ONE Clinton sign, none of her yard signs or bumper stickers in the west end of town, which is largely Latino. There are quite a few Trump signs, including a YYYUUUGE one on US301, the main north-south road through town.
I-4 was all backed tonight, so I got off at 441 Northbound. Going through South Paramore (black) neighborhood. Noticed the same thing.
The Clintons and Obama are headed back into Florida. This needs to happen asap.
LOCK HER UP! -has to be the new mantra outside of every Clinton sponsored event.
LOCK HER UP! signs in front of every early voting poll station.
LOCK HER UP! is the chant at sign waving events.
LOCK HER UP! needs to get on live news events as often as possible.

Yep, I’ve noticed the same thing. Up here in Seminole County — Longwood, Lake Mary, Apopka — mostly Trump, one or two Hillary signs.
Contrast this with ‘08 and ‘12 — and there were stickers and signs for Obama everywhere.
A few scattered Hillary signs around Melbourne and environs but nothing like for Obama in 2008/12. Good number of Trump signs and even the large ones remain standing and un-vandalized.
Thanks for confirming.
Yesterday, while we were waiting to greet Hillary before her rally in Sanford, FL with chants of Lock Her Up, many folks drove by us.
Among the people who happened to be black, easily 25 to 30% gave us thumbs up in response to our chants and Trump signs.
It was very encouraging.
The momentum is with Trump in Florida. Pence’s rallies on Monday each had hundreds of supporters who couldn’t get in—while Kaine struggles to draw anyone to his rallies.
Parramore is rough. I park there when I go to the Citrus Bowl. Watch your back. LOL.
Wow!
same here in St Johns county which is mostly republican , but in JAX too
I’m currently trapped in a very liberal town in California. 4 years ago, dozens of Obama signs everywhere. This year, one Hilary sign, one Gary Johnson sign. I see more Sanders bumper sticker than Clinton by 4 to 1. Hilary is still going to win big in CA, but there is no enthusiasm.
Ya, there is a reason why the fairgrounds in Orlando holds all the gun shows. That neighborhood next door is the worst around.
Drive through Saginaw Mi. Last weekend. Large Rat voting population.
Saw probably a hundred Trump signs, 2 Illary and one Illary for prison signs.
