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in the Monster Vote is also never discussed in the media when the professional political class and punditry use historical reference points to make their arguments.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.
Right.
We have a clear choice.
I need to sleep.
Good night.
Thanks very much. I agree.
I hope a whole lot of FReepers see and read this one.
It’s uplifting and true.
“We all have to pray that the “nattering nabobs of negativism” don’t win.”
Or worse — that there is no physical harm done to him.
Obama deliberately, and openly, killing people in order to get more people to vote for Trump?
No, I’ll say he won’t do that.
Sure, some give me the finger, from the safety of their locked car, but I've never been verbally engaged by hildabutchbitch supporter. They can scream and rant, but not discuss issues.
It looks like a Trump tsunami in November in Western PA {I don't know how the city will vote}.
AWAKEN THE MONSTER VOTERS.
My son is part of the monster vote. Before this election, he and his millennial friends had zero interest in politics and voting. He sure is aware now !
Check out this map of electoral votes:

I don’t think any monster vote is going to help. We MUST win Florida.
Their must be a lot of "Dales" & "Monsters" in the Kuhner Country audience ( WRKO, 680am Boston 12 to 3 pm daily ). Listening now for over a year I could hear their angst this time last year and I knew something was up the people of MA & NH had had it.
I met a "Monster" in 2010 working within a Campaign. She was working for an Under-Secretary for a Dept I will not name during the Reagan years. She left politics completely ( she couldn't stand the Bushes ) she was that disgusted, and came back for this gent that was Tea Party and a Reaganite in his Soul.
IMHO Dale is right, and Kristol, Krauthammer, Romney, Ryan, etc etc are all in denial or bargain or are in one of the other 5 stages of grief as they wrap their heads around the fact that the great unwashed ( who Rush warned us they can't stand ) they them to metaphorically to "Blank Off" to use a Kuhnerism with their support of Trump.
Watch in a month or two, the Sultans of Smart out of DC will steal the Monster phrase and it will all the rage amongst the chattering class on the Sunday Morning Talk Shows...
Sometimes ...... I miss Agnew
One thing for sure, they are going to do more than "natter" in order to protect their holdings.
And do I dare say by Beck, Levin and Rush.
They all have been employing the following on us:http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/05/dialectic.htm
onyx, to think of it, Trump has done all of this on his own dime.
11 months of attacks.
11 months of debates,town halls, rallies, phone interviews,appearances with hostile media interrogators.
11 months of having his good name and fortune assailed by pissants worldwide.
11 months of unmasking the politicians, faux- conservatives, and media minders employed to keep us docile while they loot us.
And he paid for it all.
All to Make America Great Again.
In 2016, God has seen fit to throw America a lifeline, and that lifeline is Donald J. Trump.
Or maybe the vote hasn't made much difference. If the candidates offered by both parties are "creeping progressives," voting can't keep a "creeping progressive" out of the office.
I completely agree with your conclusion, by the way. "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."
I felt the same way until a couple of months ago when it all came together...when the real possibility of saving the USA became evident. The Trump Effect is being felt around the world. Even the individual countries making up the EU are beginning to buck. I believe there are enough patriots still in government positions who will buck at any orders from Obama/Jarrett that would further destroy our country.
Our political overlords don’t realize just how furious we are out here in flyover country. In a rougher time, we would have been shooting traitors and hanging corrupt officials from street lights by now.
Those of us who still remember quaint old notions like limited government, accountable officials, earning your way in life, laws that apply equally to everyone and a nation made up of citizens plus a few guesfs — we want it back. Those notions are NOT antiquated nor obsolete. Not in the least.
A lot of arguments can be made against Trump the Candidate. His lack of Constitutional grounding makes me nervous, and I don’t know how he’s going to react when he tries to say “You’re fired!” and it doesn’t work.
But he SOUNDS like a solid American who wants the best for his country and that’s good enough for us. We are willing to take the risk because the path we are on leads to our certain destruction.
Millions of potential rebels are waiting for someone to lead them. All Trump needs to do is ask.
awesome graphic!
pray for Trump
Go Trump!
Excellent!
The overlords knew people were angry; they just didn’t care because they didn’t think they could do anything about it. The recent spasms of violence by “Black Lies Matter” types indicated that they also realized, years after the bloodless Bolshevik takeover of 2008, that they had been deceived and were much worse off.
Trump is an anti-politician who appeals to all spectrums who first and foremost want jobs, not lies and more Third World invasion.
I'd not go THAT far!
HE can use absolute despots to get His message across.
