I read a tweet today that I can’t find at the moment that only 32% of registered Republicans turned out to vote.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not convinced that their votes were not “lost”.
I don’t know any republicans that didn’t go out to vote, and enthusiasm among the 0bamanoids was low to middlin’ at best.
Yet we lost big.
Something ain’t right.
NO WAY. Maybe that's all that were counted, but don't believe that's all that turned out to vote. Turn of phrase, "all that turned out to vote", not all that voted period. Were all the early and absentee ballots counted, or were they pitched?
That can’t be true or there would be over 175 million Republicans.
What you read was that 32% of the electorate was republican. 38% was democrat.
We don’t yet know what percentage of the nation’s republicans turned out to vote.
We had 85%.
One thing you can count on with the GOP-e is they will invariably leave it to the county committees to come up with new voters.
That means that from the last 'W" election to the one yesterday NOBODY running the party bothered to push voter registration drives!
The Democrats direct that drive from the top down! Ask Axelrod how he does it.
So, who stayed home? Could be the 2 million Republican voters who died or became disabled between 2004 and 2008, and the 3 million Republican voters who died or became disabled between 2008 and 2012.
Remember, you don't get people to vote Republican by appealing to undecided moderates in the middle (As I think Mitt described his targets)
You get people who will vote Republican by getting them to register, and then getting them to vote.
All of this should have been dealt with earlier ~ back in the George H W Bush years ~ when it would have counted.
