It's their proclivity. They are responsible. I bet you it's the old, "My daddy was a dem, his daddy was a dem and I will vote dem... 'cept fer Trump agin'... maybe."
Again, you want everyone in the world to think the way you do.. .and guess what, that ain’t how it works.
If everyone in the world was motivated by the same things folks on FR are motivated for, then nary a D would ever get elected, but that’s not the way the world works.
R’s need a better message, or they are going to get beat come fall. It won’t be a blue wave equivalent to the red waves of 2010 or 1994. Dems won’t pick up 50+ seats, but if the messaging in this race is the game plan for November, they will indeed lose 23+ seats. The messaging of this race is not going to motivate turnout.
You can scream up and down all you like about policy moves, but that isn’t going to motivate turnout. Not the turnout you need anyway.
23 Seats, thats all the D’s need to take the house, 22 if Saccone doesn’t win today. There are more than 22 tight districts that poor turnout will allow a D win... R’s need to understand, voters who put Trump over the top in 2016 didn’t show up to vote R before with the same old tired messages the R was giving them for 10+ years, they aren’t going to show up now for them.
They need to understand what 2016 was, and its clear to me from this campaign they do not.
