When you think about how low mid-term turnout rates are (often below 30%)... the number of Dems attending town halls should scare some Republicans. Because if ppl will show up to town halls.. they'll certainly show up to midterm elections.
Also- repealing Obamacare gives some voters a reason to show up to midterms.
Consider a state like Arizona... where republicans usually win by around 100K voters... then consider in Arizona 336K ppl gain access to medicaid via obamacare.
I have always thought Jeff Flake would be safe in AZ... but I'm starting to rethink this... based on low midterm turnouts & obamacare repeal.
This is likely to have an even bigger effect on some of the Republican held house districts.
