Democrats, Needing a Huge Turnout to Beat Trump, Coming Up Short

PJM– Why aren’t more Democrats showing up to vote during primaries or attending caucuses? That’s a worrying question being asked by party leaders as Super Tuesday looks to shape the rest of the Democratic race.

While there are a lot more Democrats than Republicans in many states, Republicans have been energized by Donald Trump. They are turning out in historic numbers never before seen by an incumbent running for re-election.

Rolling Stone:

Barry Burden, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin who studies voter turnout, says Trump’s huge levels of support defy historical trends about sitting presidents who run for reelection. “A sitting incumbent running for reelection — that shouldn’t stimulate much interest,” Burden says. “It all runs a little contrary to what I think we would’ve expected.”

Those are the words of a liberal academic desperately trying to downplay the facts. Trump received almost 130,000 votes in New Hampshire — twice what Obama got in 2012 and George Bush received in 2004. Republican turnout for Trump rallies has been even more impressive, as the president continuously fills huge venues with hundreds outside who are clamoring to get in. read more

  1. Communist, communist lite fake Indian, old demented fellow, miniature billionaire tyrant nanny. Really? Low turnout? Who could come up with a reason for that?

  2. Most Americans read the news about US wars, debt, and tyranny and feel powerless to do anything, but is surrender the only answer?

    Can’t Americans buy guns, gold, and food today and warn Americans about the US decline?

    Can’t Americans stop paying taxes so that the government will collapse?

  3. don’t sell the dRats short … they come into any national election w/ Kali, Oregon, Washington, NY, NJ, MD, DE, Conn, RI, Masshole, VT, NH, ME, Il, NM in the bag … that’s a big advantage

    don’t get all feel-good about November … nothing is given, every vote is a battle … everyone needs to get out & vote for PDT!

  4. HUGE TURNOUT? NOT NECESSARILY. YOU KNOW THEY’RE GONNA CHEAT SOMEHOW, SOME WAY. I’M HOLDING OUT FOR VOTER IDS. AH … THEY’D JUST FIND A WAY AROUND THAT TOO. WHAT IS AN HONEST MAN TO DO?

  5. Above all else the demoncrats stand for, they are known for the many ways they lie and cheat.

    Never under estimate their ability to overwhelm right, freedom and truth.

    Offer to take people who can’t drive to the polls with you, even the dead, like the demoncrats will do.

  6. Tens of thousands of Coloradians voted for PDJT last night than the total votes for all Demonrat candidates combined.

    In other words, hundreds of thousands of Colorado voters had the energy to come out to cast a vote in an uncontested primary just to send a message.

    Think hundreds of thousands more will at least have the energy to push a button in the privacy of the voting booth?

    PDJT will get 35% of the Hispanic vote, 24% of the black vote and the Bernie Bros stay home. PDJT will simply slaughter Hillary after Pedo Joe is forced out before the convention due to dementia.

    He actually confused his wife for his sister last night, how long before the Lizard Queen pushes him aside?

  7. The record republican turnouts for DJT just shows how starved Americans have been for a man who actually loves his country and believes in giving ordinary citizens the best opportunity to succeed and better their life.

    He is putting the old phrase “a rising tide lifts all boats” into action, rather than the ruling elites’ mantra, “I got my yacht, screw you, you can swim.”

  8. Robert Costas was on Hugh Hewitt yesterday, and he tried to explain away the sad Dem primaries as “the voters are looking for a candidate they are comfortable with”.

    Sorry, Costas. but “comfortable” ain’t gonna get it done. Dems are not getting comfortable, they’re settling for less. Better get that vote fraud machine cranked up to 11.

  9. The turnout in November will have to be large enough to offset the fraud.
    In 16 the Dems thought their voter fraud was sufficient – it wasn’t.
    They won’t make that mistake again. The fraud will be tremendous – maybe even enough to raise some eyebrows.

    izlamo delenda est …

  10. I wouldn’t get complacent

    remember the democrats can harvest at least ten to fifteen million dead and illegal votes

    it’s against the constitution to clean up the voter registration rolls in all states according to democrat judges

  11. Better get ready for the dead to rise and vote democrat in record numbers. If you see people with clipboards canvasing cemeteries, you better believe the’re signing your great, great, great grandpaw up to vote for Slo Joe.

  12. Barry Burden is either under 35 or a liar. I remember in ’84 when Ronny came out West folks showed up big and shouted and screamed and waved their “cowboy” hats wildly!

    I never heard of Burden so I know not if he is a liar or just a kid. But he is full of shit!
