Forget The Polls: Chinese Campaign Merchandise ‘Yiwu Index’ Predicts Trump Win

Why would anyone want a Biden hat? And a Biden rubbery Halloween mask would just terrify children and pets.

Via NYT.

Deep inside a 10-block-long factory outlet mall in China, the people who supply Americans with their plastic dinosaurs and “Kiss My Bass” baseball caps are confident about a Nov. 3 victory for Donald Trump.

President Trump’s campaign paraphernalia — hats, banners, mugs and practically anything else that can carry a logo — has been selling briskly at shops in the vast wholesale market in the Chinese city of Yiwu. By contrast, shop owners said during recent visits, bulk orders for materials supporting former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. have been almost nonexistent…....

I hardly see anyone wearing a Biden or Harris hat or shirt and see nary a bumper sticker for them.

That said, there is a an uncomfortably large number of signs in front of the houses in my area for Biden.

Yes, yes, I get why Trump people would not put a sign in front of their house, especially in a mixed area.

But I also don't see that many American flags.

My working theory is that many of the homes with Biden signs belong to teachers who teach at the school down the street and parents don't want to identify themselves as possible Trump supporters to these teachers because their interactions with them have led them to believe they are unhinged enough to flunk their children.

“...that many of the homes with Biden signs belong to teachers...”

Likely so. Usually the town’s largest employer is schools. Leftist-led, well-indoctrinated, ‘go along to get along’ sheeple, who had BETTER plant that Biden-Harris sign their union gave them.

Actually, now that I think of it, I am in a union and they did use to try to get me to put out a sign until they finally got the message that the condo association doesn’t allow it.

Just look at where we as a society have come to: The majority of Teachers are presumed to be vengeful, high strung, close minded Democrats who adore Socialism and abhor a truly free society.

Heh, I was working in the yard an hour ago and thought, you know what would be a good indicator of who’s going to win? The inventory of t-shirts! To those small businesses who have to invest real $ in advance, being a good predictor would be important.

As would the ability to stay up all night printing the right shirts ;-)

Somebody yesterday posted a quick comparison of the popularity of Trump and Biden caps on Amazon based on the number of reviews. I went to look for myself just now and found the following data:

Trump Cap Reviews, 25,172
Biden Cap Reviews, 2,948

That's 8.5:1 for Trump!

If you take out that one 2,256 Tommy Hilfiger outlier for Biden (there are no such outliers for Trump) and substitute the average of the other reviews (61), the results are:

Trump Cap Reviews, 25,172
Biden Cap Reviews, 753

That's 33.4:1 for Trump!

That really is astonishing and must chap Bezos' ass to no end.

Note, too, that the Tommy Hilfiger hat is classified as a "men's cap" but it is PINK!!!

I have two wonderful, big dogs who spend a lot of time in my large front yard behind an electronic fence. There’s no way I’m going to expose them to murder.

Which state and city do you live in? That’s an indicator right there of why Biden signs outnumber the Trump signs.

Only teachers in public schools supported with tax dollars.
Private school teachers have to produce results and are not protected by teachers unions.

We have one (1) Biden sign in my neighborhood. These tramps still have their yard crammed full of every kind of goulish halloween decoration you can imagine too.
