The turnout of GOP voters must be massively increased. I think overall turnout nationwide for this midterm was around 49%. GOP needs to find ways to get it to 75-80% for its own voters, or the Republic is screwed.

Re: “The turnout of GOP voters must be massively increased. I think overall turnout nationwide for this midterm was around 49%. GOP needs to find ways to get it to 75-80% for its own voters, or the Republic is screwed.”

Believe it or not, higher turn out usually hurts Republicans.

White Conservatives traditionally have the highest turn out of any ethnic or political group.

As the general turn out increases, the number of Conservatives decreases, because most Conservatives have already voted.

The blunt political reality is that Conservatives are a minority in the USA, and, more often than not, Conservatives are a minority in the Republican Party.

We have a very deceptive history of political success because we are usually the most passionate and the most reliable voters in the USA.
