Maybe, but don't forget, a large number came out to vote for the losing campaign as well. It was, in many of these races, liberal verses socialist. Will the liberal Dem's come out to support the socialist in the general? Not sure.

Yeah, I'm guessing turnout will be pretty high for a mid-term.

And probably just as nuts as 2016.

The democrats are actually going to run on the single issue of Trump hate!

People have been reporting alot of folks being carried around in buses in swing states casting provincial ballots.
In another report 20 people who claimed to be 116 years old voted in District 12 in Ohio.
Democrats are generating alot of new voters. I wonder where all of these new voters came from.

I think they're Russians.

That's a good point. Counterpoint would be the people who see either or as sufficient enough as a vote against Trump.

I personally hope people get so turned off by both parties so they'll vote for actual liberty via the libertarians.

"Trump's approval is at 50%"

See, I can play that game too.

It seems to me that this year there are not clear lines in the major parties. It will be more like 4 parties running. In no particular order:

1. The Trump republicans
2. The Establishment Republican
3. The moderate to Liberal Democrat
4. The Socialist Democrat

Since Trump is actually not running, IMHO the Republicans will have an easier time convincing their voters to turn out. I have no doubt that the Socialist wing of the Democratic Party will turn out in large numbers. The question I have is that, will the moderate to Liberal Democrat be turned off by the prospect of pushing the party that far left and simply stay home?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Nah, the GOP needs Trumps' coat tails, but since he is not running, many GOP will sit home.

Just two questions

And then what happens?


What would be different then today?

[Natural Citizen]

I'm sorry, but there's not a dime's worth of difference between the Democrat party or the Republican party. It's laughable.

And the Libertarian party is laughable, too.

What a sad, sad, state of the nation.
