Think of this attack on the voter base as a sort of auto-immune disease, which if unchecked and untreated, shall almost certainly be fatal to the host.
A powerful injection of sanity and reason, and a sober relatively unbiased reassessment of just what it is the Republic NEEDS at the moment, is the first order of treatment.
The interesting aspect of this whole upset spurt of support for The Donald, is that what is commonly referred to as “low-information voters” are starting to become engaged. Whether it is an actual awakening, or just the celebrity star power of The Donald, all the old calculations and assumptions just got kicked in the head.
Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

I’ve never liked the term “low information voter” because it implies there is a group of people who are making worse decisions than the oh so intelligent and sophisticated and connected political class who have handed us such luminaries as willard, mccain, boehner, and the turtle. I’d argue that most of these so called “low information voters” are merely those who quickly and correctly concluded that they had no power in determining the outcome and didn’t waste their time with a rigged game.
“Low information”? Hell, I’d argue the ones that stayed home for the last 10 years were a helluva lot smarter than those of us who stuck around to plau the uniparty shell game.
