Yes , there are many Trump voters who stayed home in 2018 because they only vote once every four years.

You mean real, living citizen voters will out-vote the dead, the feeble, and the illegal voters?

Why fears of an Electoral College nightmare in 2020 are overblown
Nate Cohn sent a panic wave crashing through Democratic Party circles Friday. The New York Times elections analyst — who is also responsible for the newspaper’s terror-inducing elections forecasting tool “The Needle” — wrote a piece arguing that President Trump could suffer an even more decisive popular vote loss next year than he did in 2016, while still holding the Electoral College. But this panic was premature: While Cohn’s scenario is worth psychologically preparing for, it is much less likely than he would have us believe.

Let’s first understand Cohn’s argument. He uses data from the 2018 midterms to estimate the president’s approval rating in each state. Like most observers, Cohn expects Wisconsin to be the pivotal state in the 2020 presidential election and presents numbers from Marquette University polling that suggest Trump has held steady in the critical Milwaukee area, while seeing a decline in the rest of the state. “One reason that such a small swing in Wisconsin could be so important,” Cohn writes, “is that the Democrats do not have an obviously promising alternative if Wisconsin drifts to the right.” (If you don’t understand how this is good for the president, you’re not alone. More on that below.)

There are a lot of voters , regardless of who they support, who only vote in presidential elections. Turnout is always important.

There’s evidence that Hillary did not inspire high voter turnout among some major Democrat voter groups such as black voters. Blacks voted overwhelmingly for Hillary but turnout for her among blacks was lower than during ng the Obama elections.

We have to turn out as many as we can to counter the non-citizen vote.

There are many that only vote in presidential years. Many average citizens who don't follow politics as closely as some of us do don't realize the importance of mid-terms.

Another factor to consider for 2018 was that the Paul Ryan led House got virtually nothing useful done during those first two years of Trump's term. They were about as inspiring as a bologna and cheese sandwich.

The Trump voters are coming out en masse in 2020 and that should have big impact on the House races.

Polls and projections of doom and gloom often suppress voter turnout of a particular candidate’s supporters. Now that Trump broke through this by winning against all odds last time, many will want to get on the winning team and will also ignore the naysaying media pundits. They’ve cried wolf so often that their attempts to sabotage him will fall on deaf ears.

The leftwing media helps the leftwing candidates project a sense of inevitability that gives their candidates a good 10-20% boost. They won’t have that advantage this time around. Trump won before. He can win again. We all need to show up and take family and friends with us.

What the country needs is a conservative, president-supporting majority in the House and Senate. He has accomplished great things with one arm tied behind his back. Imagine what he will do when given the support he deserves.

I think a fair number of people stayed home in 2016 (which may be normal for them) because they thought Trump was:
1) Crazy
2) Dangerous
3) Not really pro-life
4) Dirty and corrupt
5) Not up to the job

All of these things worries have been dispelled. Trump is a competent, successful, clean, experienced President, with better Conservative credentials than a lot of previous "Conservatives". People should only vote against him, or stay home, if they prefer a rabid socialist like Elizabeth Warren who will turn us into Venezuela.

Fear may have kept people away from Trump in 2016.
I think fear will drive people to Trump in 2020.

Laying out the excuses for Trump’s re-election over 14 months ahead of his re-election... That’s pretty desperate on the part of the NY Slimes.

“NYT analysis argues surge in voter turnout in 2020 could buck norm and boost Trump”

personally, i think the left and their media handlers are going to be stunned at the turnout for President Trump’s re-election, and I think his YUGE coattails are going to also give him back the House, sans the rapid anti-Trumper Republicans ...

yeah, less educated guys like me with two degrees in computer science and patents to my name ...

Democrats have a high water mark of about 15 states plus DC for 2020... no matter who their nominee is.... IF they nominate a nutter, Democrats may not be able to get 10 states.

Barring some black swan event, Trump is going to get more votes for President than any republican in History.

Democrats are on track for a repeat of 1972.

Trump will win re-election with the largest EC victory since Reagan.

Prediction:

Trump takes EVER state he took in 16.

In states he lost in 16, he will win most if not all of the states he got 45% or more of the vote in 16. and he will battle for and likely win a few states where he got between 40 and 45% of the vote in 16.

Democrats will be pigeonholed to the coastal and NE deep blue states, and IL.
