It infuriates and perplexes me that the ''enthusiasm gap'' exists. Republican Democratic voters have no logical reason to not be enthusiastic to vote. The threat of an enemy victory should make you MORE determined to vote, not less. I don't care if you're disappointed with TrumpObama. You don't cut your nose off to spite your face, which is exactly what you are doing if you stay home because you're not completely satisfied with Trump Obama or the Republican Democratic Congress.
There are some things that are beyond our control. This is not one of them.
This is why I voted in 2010 with as much enthusiasm as I had in 2006 and 2008. I knew the Republicans were going to win the House, though. I just wanted to make sure that they got one less vote than they did. That was the only thing I could control - my one vote.
Republicans will come out to vote in November, which is why Democrats need to focus on getting new voters to the polls. If you don't like the electorate, change it. Half of the country doesn't vote in even presidential elections. There's a lot of potential voters out there - you need to ask them for their vote.
