As chaotic as this political season has been, I fear
It is just the calm before the storm.
It is just the calm before the storm.
I think there are some factors that are going to drive voter turnout
come Nov. 8th. None of which the Democrats and many so called
Republicanswant to talk about.
Firstly I seriously think black turnout is going to lag well behind 2008 and 2012 levels. Obama is not on the ballot. That alone will depress the turnout and it must be combined with a sense of disappointment among many blacks who honestly, if delusionally, thought that his presidency was going to magically provide for their every want simply because of his race. Some will even vote for Trump out of spite and or because then can see what a phony Hillary is.
Secondly, I think her Campaign and the media has underestimated the backlash against Hillary for the royal screwing she and the DNC gave Bernie Sanders. This will manifest in two ways. That percentage of Sanders supporters who will vote Trump out of spite or open loathing for Hillary and another percentage of Sanders supporters who will simple stay home for the Joe Martin's same reasons.
