Twenty years ago, when thousands of people still drove past his Edgemere gas station every day on their way to make steel and cars, Carl Hobson put up signs for Democrats.
Now the 77-year-old displays one of the largest "Trump" signs in this blue-collar community. The "Make America Great Again" slogan is impossible to miss under the price for diesel.
Hobson has owned the station since 1964, when Bethlehem Steel and General Motors weren't just large employers important to the local economy — they were fundamental to the region's culture.
"People don't want a third term of Obama," Hobson said. Maryland is a blue state, he said, but "the people in this area are definitely not Hillary people."

Are there any Hillary signs on the Shore? I wasted some time on the weekend around Salisbury and I couldnt find one. I know I need to get a hobby
The shore always goes Republican because they are better informed than most of the Western shore.
Slowly, but surely, people are realizing that Blue isn't true, that it's been stolen by people who mean to do us harm and take away huge personal profits for doing little more than hoodwinking us.
Vote TRUMP for President!!!!!
