"Exclusive Data Analysis: Democrat Turnout Collapses Down More Than 4.5 Million, Nearly 20 Percent In 2016 Versus 2008"
And that is with millions of energized voters
For Bernie
I would not take this as an indicator for Nov. we have all been told for over a year that it is a Slam dunk for Lady Kankles to get the nomination. Now that is voter depression
Only a handful of states have seen increases in participation on the Democratic side, including Arizona, Michigan, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas and Maine. With the exception of Arizona, Sanders won—and Clinton lost—each of those contests.
Hillary only won Arizona. What this means is that the Bernie vote has the most intensity, the most verve, the most emotion, all which is gone for the general election.
Donald Trump can go ahead and begin to pick out his cabinet. The Dems are toast in the general election.
One can just see the vapor from the drying effect this will have on Hillary's fundraising. The fact that Hillary is now quantifiably a blah candidate may mean that an indictment by the DOJ is more likely, I'd say a drop-dead certainty, because it's a) the only way a plea-bargain could ensue, thereby enabling Obama to seal documents and hide his own perfidy and b) a convenient way for the Dems to give a sure loser the hook, and insert someone, anyone, who may have a chance to win.
Based on this data, Hillary has no chance to win. None.
I’m sure that number will dwindle with Obozo expediting the illegals and the Muzzie’s here.
They are sure pressing hard on the “wage gap” issue. Hillary is all but promising women that if she is POTUS they’ll earn a dollar for every dollar earned by a man. No matter what. Hope that does not bring the Julia vote out in droves.
So how many crossed over to vote in open primaries?
Ed
Which makes me wonder....if she wins the nom when the base wants Bernie...will she THEN be indicted? Bring in Joe....
“Which makes me wonder....if she wins the nom when the base wants Bernie...will she THEN be indicted? Bring in Joe....”
That’s when it will really get interesting on the Dem side. I doubt Dems will ever match the drama we’ve had on the Republican side thus far.
I, for one, will be helping Bernie voters as they express their raging *dislike* for HRC. I want each side going after the other. Big time! I think the Bernie voters are game.
Are any of them voting cross party, trying to pick the most easily defeated ‘Pubbie?
No indicator of what to expect in November. The busses will be gassed up and running non-stop from churches, union halls, retirement homes and minority neighborhoods. Democrats have a vote turn out machine not to be trifled with.
I bet he is already working on it. Trump is a planner and a doer. He doesn't sit around waiting for things to happen like Obama who had open seat(s) for over a year, I think.
Trump should bring on Newt as Cief of Staff and go from there.
Entirely possible Joe will be called in to "do this for his country and his party".
Obama wants to control the party going forward, if Hillary is President, she controls the party. The massive money behind the Democratic Party may not want either of them in control. So, it wouldn't surprise me if we have another candidate, outside the Obama/Clinton sphere, emerge. I doubt these same monied interests want Bernie.
As to timing, I think this turnout data once absorbed will mean an indictment will occur ASAP. Comey's phone is ringing right this minute, and a voice is telling him to get this thing moving, IMHO.
Not really.
I do believe that Trump is getting things ready because he knows it will be him.
I hope in is planning all the bureaucrats he is going to FIRE.
Lets not forget the felon voters
Interesting question that, of course, no one knows the answer to.
It's also a complicated question because it attempts to draw implications about cross overs that also are unknown.
On the one hand, it could be that democrats could crossover and vote for Trump because of an organized attempt to pick who they perceive as a weaker candidate. But this seems unlikely. First, if that was the case, the crossovers would have voted for Cruz or Kasich, the weakest candidates. It also assumes a level of coordinated voting that we talk about of FR but for which little substantial evidence exists. Finally, it seems less likely that democrats would cross over when they have two very liberal candidates in a relatively close race.
It's also possible that, if there were substantial crossovers, that they might turn out to be Trump voters in the general election. This seems somewhat more likely given a generally increasing mistrust of government and the fact that Trump would be acknowledged as less "conservative" than Cruz. But there's no way of knowing this either.
One thing is certain, the democrats SHOULD be beatable this time around. Their candidates are extraordinarily unattractive. But I never discount the ability of the establishment GOP to completely botch an opportunity by assuring the nomination of a loser.
