Bernie is right about this, among other things:

[islandmkl]

( ) win when there is increased turnout.

Of course, he is referring to Democrats combating Republicans and benefiting from big turnouts, which the R's have historically fought to suppress....

it may be, depending on who the Democratic nominee is, and it looks like Hillary is the assumptive (versus presumptive) choice, that it might be time to consider this:

how much voter participation should be anticipated to turn out to VOTE AGAINST Hillary, motivated merely by the culture of hate that the Right has for the Clintons?

and can the rest of the potential voting public be expected to have the same motivation to turn out to vote against Trump?

it might be that the distaste, fear, revulsion, etc. of Trump that seems so obvious to many, especially those of us on DU and many who share our general political views (regardless of how we fight among ourselves) cannot be measured against what the 'other side' has been fomenting, in one form or another, for 24 years...

1. I plan to vote FOR someone, not against anyone. Some might find that odd.

2. The vote against Hillary crowd is countered by the larger vote against Trump crowd.

Not only that but trying to make a case for/against any candidate based on yesterday's WV numbers is a foolish endeavor at best.
