Wonderful.

But seriously, people, this is not an invitation to kick back.

Mitch Mc Connell just wet himself. All the guys who won’t honor their pledge are wetting themselves.

I will never understand why people make posts like yours.

The entire body of political science research shows that voter turnout becomes suppressed when voters on a given side are overcome by feelings of hopelessness and sense of despair due to a belief that their votes will not make a difference.

In other words, when voters become convinced either by the facts or a misleading narrative that the race has become uncompetitive for their side, THAT suppresses the vote.

That is why so many left-friendly, agenda-driven, opinion-shaping polls show Hillary way up.

On the other hand, when polls show that a race is highly competitive, it drives voter interest and turnout UP on both sides.

And if a particular side is doing really well, a bandwagon effect develops that causes that side's supporters to want to pile on and vote to crush the other side in a landslide. Exuberance and a sense of victory actually increases turnout.
