A few months before the primary season began, before Iowa cast its first vote, we pointed out this video (below) and the message it contains.
The “Monster Vote” is the voting bloc of those who had turned away from politics; those how gave up, and/or just never voted in the first place. This video was/is prescient in retrospect when you consider the record-breaking volume of primary voters who have turned out to support Donald Trump.

In many ways what Citizen Dale describes in this video is exactly what’s happening. However, what is described in the Monster Vote is also never discussed in the media when the professional political class and punditry use historical reference points to make their arguments.
Comparisons to turnout models in 2012, 2008 etc. have absolutely no value when you consider the scope of the monster vote. The voices discussing election turnout are only comparing the 60 million for Dems, or the 60 million for Republicans.
No-one is discussing the 100 million, the silent majority, the non-voting bloc, the largest single voting bloc in the United States. However, there are signs the monster vote is active and engaged. Visible signs the professional political class would rather you not contemplate.
Obvious signs.
Very Visible Signs.
Records are being broken, but no-one is discussing why. Donald Trump is not just getting republicans, independent and some democrat voters – He’s turning out the monster vote. Venues with 10,000…. 15,000… 20,000,… 30,000,… even 40,000 are being filled in a PRIMARY contest.
A friggin’ “primary” contest !!
Just imagine the Monster Vote in a general election !
It won’t be close.
It won’t even be remotely close.
PRAY AND VOTE FOR TRUMP!
What a clear choice we face this year: the Revolution, or the status quo.
We the People have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
We all have to pray that the "nattering nabobs of negativism" don't win.
Vote Trump!
AMEN!
BOTH PARTIES have been selling out America now, for over one entire generation.
Both parties. Everyone is selling American industry to China, and to a bunch of other countries. And not getting anything in return. These evil people are not patriots. They have sold us out. At least, that is my humble opinion.
Now. Finally. One guy is standing up, and saying it is time to bring back American industry, and to rebuild our very own nation for a change.
How come it has taken an entire generation, for someone to speak up about this?
GO TRUMP.
For many years and significantly the second term election of GW Bush, I have been praying for a true leader... someone with the gravitas to guide our country. GW told us HE was the DECIDER.. basically screw off! His failure (or was it) gave us Obama. GOPE have made it clear that they support Obama and they ridicule their base. We have been played big time by these posers. They all support the same same, to the detriment of our country. So long as they rake in their “contributions” all is okay and on track for them. Now we have DJ Trump... he challenges their core ideology... the one that lines their pockets. Simple to see this unfolding before our eyes.... sadly too many do not look at what is in front of them, but instead listen to the lying disreputable media instead.
This is so true. For too long presidents have won elections with less than half the vote and low voter turn out to begin with. Even with about only a quarter of the population choosing them, they then procede as if they have the mandate to rule. If Trump taps even a good fraction of the so called monster vote, he is unbeatable, even with whatever establishment and neo con nonsense thrown at him.
Monsters??
Just who is Lady Gaga supporting?
The Old Guy or the Witch?
Not trying to be a pessimist here, but let’s stay realistic. Um, “monster vote” ?
I do think Trump was the best viable choice, but this still looks like a longshot at the moment.
Problem is the demographics of the electoral college have been creeping ever leftwards since at least 2000, if not prior. Consider that Bush’s 2004 reelection was considered a ‘mandate’ +2.5% net popular voteyet a mere 17 electoral vote difference could’ve given it to Kerry instead.
We’ve had 12 years of increasingly shrill Progressivism since then. Which is a long time, and much has changed.
Witch.
Lady Gag was born that way.
Many people just haven’t bothered to vote until Trump came along. The “creeping Progressivism” is due to people not voting.
You say, much has changed; I say nonsense. There were people attending Trump’s rallies, people in their eighties, who felt they never had a reason to vote before he came along. Trump will be a game changer.
.
In what you say you have completely discounted as any possibility the existence of the “monster vote”. You claim since 2000 the electorate has moved ever leftward and while that may be true it is tantamount to saying because this has happened it will be forever so.
No difference between what you are saying and those who claim if the stock market moves up for a prolonged period of time it will never go down. Those who discard any possibility of a change all say the same thing, “it’s different this time.”
I don’t know if the election turnout will include these previously disconnected voters but they DO exist. If they come out all or in part it surely will make a difference and from what we have seen in the vote totals for the candidates these previously dormant voters will in the main come out for Trump if he is the nominee, which seems probable at this time.
Will Obama unleash his Jihadists before or after the election? How many Americans will Obama try to murder? Will it be car bombs? Beheadings? Shutting down the grid? All three, and more?
Obama sat back while the Mullahs murdered thousands in Iran. Obama grinned while ISIS murdered hundreds of thousands of Christians in Iraq and Syria. Obama WILL kill tens of millions of Americans if he can.
The Pope is Obama’s, Hillary’s, and Soros’s cheerleader. He was installed for that purpose. Don’t look for him or any Catholic bishops to say anything that might wake up the West. The infiltration of the hierarchy and the clergy is almost total.
Trump is a great communicator. He seems to know how much he can tell the masses without having his message rejected as “unpleasant.” Note the Trump never comes out and warns the people that Obama wants to murder them.
But if Trump makes it to the White House alive, I hope he embarks on a massive education campaign, exposing all the infiltration the Marxists have accomplished in the past century. All but about thirty colleges are Marxist. The mainline Protestant denominations, and the Catholic Church, are Marxist.
We now have the choice...... can we make the American media say.... NOW WE UNDERSTAND....GO TRUMP!
In a few states there has been significant shifts in party affiliation but has there been a general increase in overall registrations? Just as many people have left the labor force out of a sense of lack of control so many people don’t vote because they feel their vote does not matter. I suspect that this election being as volatile as it has been will be determined by the weather and by voting irregularities.
The number of electoral votes a state has depends on its population, not on the number of registered voters. See how blue states filled up illegal immigrants? They may not be able to vote, but their residency in those states maintains or increases the EV count of the state as Americans flee out of those states. I can see why neither party wants to end illegal immigration.
Great post. Very important point.
And Trump has still got another 7 months of rallies to attract the monster vote!
IMHO, before, and the summer ill be long and hot,especially when the Roots retread comes out Memorial Day weekend..
You paint a very bleak and disturbing picture. I hope (and pray) you’re wrong about Obama’s plans.
I do pray for Mr. Trump’s election and for his safety. I think he will embark on a re-education of our citizenry as well as our institutions of higher learning. Like you said, ‘he is a great communicator.’
God bless you and God bless and protect Mr. Trump, his precious family and everyone voting for him.
