4. No, but that's not the point about motivation to vote against someone.

The enthusiasm gap is in our party from the hand grenade throwing over the last few weeks that caused many feel betrayal. Not saying if it is legit or not but to ignore it is perilous. There is a difference between voting for someone and raising money for them, canvassing, advocating on the street.

I handed out Mondale signs at an ethanol plant rally as a HS Sr, got to shake his hand on the line, walked neighborhoods contacting registered voters for Hillary's campaign so I'm no stranger to hard work that just fell short...well in Mondale's case that is a kind characterization......I liked him although I was a year short of being able to vote for him... I spent 10 years in the Military after that so I couldn't participate until Gore. Hey wait, maybe I'm bad luck......The only winner I worked the street for was Obama...lol.

I'm cynical about our population, there is no way this guy should even be running much less leading. If we have that many stupid people in this country I can't help to think we hit a tipping point. It's one thing to be fooled by a huckster like Reagan, but Trump?
