Vibe (noun) : a distinctive feeling or quality capable of being sensed. In 2016 when Hillary Clinton was running for president against Donald Trump, despite what the polls were suggesting, something felt off. You could just feel it. And you could see it. I would see plenty of Trump yard signs. But not a single Hillary sign. The vibes were off. Everyone knew it. Granted, I live in a rural area of New York State that is majority “red,” so it’s not surprising you’d see a lot of Trump signs.
