This ought to keep Democrats up late at night. Despite the constant negative press by the liberal media, Republicans are coming off a historic primary season.
Republican turnout was up 62% this year. Democratic turnout was down 21% this year.
Despite her tight race with Socialist Bernie Sanders Hillary Clinton received 1,019,237 fewer votes this year than in 2008.
DEMOCRAT PARTY TURNOUT–
** In 2008 there were 38,111,341 Democrat votes in the primary. In 2016 there were 29,939,251 votes. A net decrease of 8,172,090 (-21%).
REPUBLICAN PARTY TURNOUT–
** In 2012 there were 19,214,513 Republican votes in the primary. In 2016 there were 31,108,968 votes. A net increase of 11,894,455 (+62%).
Republicans had 1.1 million more primary voters this year than the Democratic party.
These are stunning numbers!
If folks will not turn out to meet and greet hillary, if they won’t turn out to vote in the primary, how in Heaven’s name can she be ahead in the polls?
Carefully structured polling, with massive oversampling of Democrat voters by calling when the entitlement class is home and the working class is...working.
But hilLIARy is winning... dont you read their polls???
I have found that a lot of folks who will vote for Trump don’t care to mention it in “polite circles”.
My view is that Trump actual votes will consistently exceed polling numbers.
I still remember - up to and including the night before the 1980 vote, all the polls showing Reagan loosing 2 to 1. ‘’The vote did, indeed, go 2 to 1 - FOR Reagan.
Never paid a lot of attention to the polls since....
it seems the worse it is for them - the wider they stretch the truth
That may be a leading indicator for lack of enthusiasm. I sure hope so.
It's called the automatic D.
At this point what does it matter? They are staying at home filling out absentee ballots with names they took from the grave yards. Boxes upon boxes of them ready for distribution when the moment arrives. Yup, a ton or more of Frankel votes.
Of course, we’re going to have to have a couple million over them - at least - ahead to beat the fraud.... courts struck down proof of citizenship to vote - muzzies being brought in by the tens of thousands - and buses will be kept running to run them from state to state to vote again and again
I’m with Hillaryous and I’m going down. (pun intended)
Democrats switched over to vote for Trump. My guess is they will switch back to Hillary.
Those who would take the time and effort to bother with the process of altering their voter registration prior to the election season, it is safe to assume these are the same folks who typically vote on a regular basis.
That 62% increase in Republican participation is but a hint at the participatory increase in voters this presidential election cycle.
THE MONSTER VOTE WILL BE HUGE!
You must ask yourself, where’s the love?
Herself could only be “inspiring” in the abstract. The reality is extremely off-putting. The shrieking, maniacal “Queen of Mean”, up close and ugly, only reinforces all the old stereotypes that have been building up since the time Herself served on the committee formed to draw up articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon.
For despising Nixon as much as Herself appears to have for years, Herself is trying very hard to emulate Nixon in as many ways as possible, exceeding his scope and vision as to the mischief that could be wielded in almost every measure.
In 2012 there were 19,214,513 Republican votes in the primary.
I understand the point is trying to be made, but at least use same year comparisons, or it looks like an agenda.
I think a lot of middle class and blue collar voters, that normally vote democrat will go to Trump.
I don't see Hillary drawing too much from republicans. (except the GOPe)
The same pattern held in KY, which is a non-crossover state.
In 2008 it was Hillary 459,511, Obama 209,954K. In 2016 it was Hillary 212,549, Sanders 210,626.
Quote: “If folks will not turn out to meet and greet hillary, if they won’t turn out to vote in the primary, how in Heaven’s name can she be ahead in the polls?”
Because according to the MSM she is “inevitable” and that is all you need.
Except absentee ballots haven’t been counted in the last 4 elections.
Try again.
