The numbers are so embarrassing. I'm in the NE corner and regularly get into MN and WI, too. All I see around here are Trump signs everywhere. Very few Clinton signs. It's fucking depressing and shameful.

I just keep thinking, "WTF is wrong with Iowa?!" We've gone blue many times, but why now, with the worst ever candidate on the R ticket, are we swinging that way?? I can't wrap my brain around it.

We didn't put up any signs this year because it causes a lot of problems for my husband at his work. UGH.

We SOOOO wish we could live in a blue area!
