In the past, Republicans didn’t show up for the Mid-Terms basically because they had nothing to vote for. They weren’t motivated to show up in large numbers.

All that is now over......................

Mike Gallagher on the radio this week cited some poll showing GOP voters are now tied with Dems on voter enthusiasm. It was 71% to 71% (or maybe it was 81% to 81% - not sure).

He didn't say which poll it was, but the GOP spending spree (finally!) may now be bearing some fruit.

they ALWAYS had some thing to vote for, but were too focused on themselves is what it comes down to.

Voting is not about right now, or about them and their next few years. Voting is about 10, 20, 50 years or more down the road!

That’s what Dems and the infiltrators know and each school board or minor seat they get into, is another step in their unending quest of “fundamentally change”.
Voters have been dumbed down to think it’s about the current price of (whatever).

The problem was that we lost Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan voters and they became Democratic. They tend to be high-propensity voters. Only Trump can win with low-propensity voters. RINOs are unable yo motivate them to show up on the Election Day when Trump's not on the ballot.
