I have a feeling this report will motivate the hell out of the Democratic base.

No voter is more likely to vote than a passionate voter.

People read Don Jr.'s emails. People saw Trump admit to obstruction on national TV. People are going to be angry.

Anger will help motivate them to the polls.

Just my opinion.

If you're angry about this. Vote like your life depends on it.

It's happened to Democratic voters and Republican voters throughout history.

I would argue a lot of Democratic voters were complacent in November because they felt victory was a sure thing. Republicans were furious over this report. Now they have one less thing to be mad about.

I know it's disappointing, but Trump's election was disappointing... crushing even... and it motivated the base more than anything in decades.

trumps election was humanity's choice to go extinct.

we, the voters in this global superpower had 2 choices that night; one was progress, prosperity, empathy, growth, change and adaptation , and the other was a return to barbaric times, which ends in extinction,

guess which one we chose.. it cannot be undone.. certainly not in this late hour, everything now amounts to too little too late.

We need something to motivate the millions who DON'T vote at all and apparently a madman at the helm isn't sufficient.
