This usually happens when you are having a primary with a two-term incumbent in office. The incumbent's party usually has low numbers in the primary. But there are two problems here -
(1) Hillary and Trump are the two most disliked frontrunners in history so this is uncharted water.
(2) Republican voter suppression efforts have had a major effect but even in Democratic states we have seen fukkery. So expect a lower voter turnout in general.
(3) Trump is the most unpredictable candidate in modern history.
(4) This is starting to look like the year 2000 (except Trump is out there). You have an unpopular frontrunner (Gore or now Hillary) and progressives are turned off by the DNC and either don't vote, vote Bush (Gore only won 87% of Democrats if I remember right) or vote third party. Trump is actually the Democrat's saving grace. He has no crossover appeal. Mitt Romney would win this election and so would Jeb.

I literally have no idea what is about to happen. This shyt was not in my books .


Edit: I started off with two problems are noticed more.

Nope democrat will always win the real thing. There's too many people like me that vote democrat. I don't even pay attention to this primary stuff , but in the real thing I always vote for whoever the democrat is all the way down

Why isn't Bernie motivating people to get out to vote ? given how popular he is I thought he would increase the democratic turnout during these primaries.

Or is it possible that Hillary nor Bernie motivates democratic voters in the primaries? Hmmm

I mean they're deciding the fate of their party after all...

This has got to be shocking to most conservatives to have Trump be their nominee.

People like stability. Hilary will be looked at as the stable option.

 

[No1]

Especially since the real reason that the election went left is because all of the old people in Palm Beach mistakenly voted for Pat Buchanan because the butterfly ballots were so fukking confusing.

I mean Gore lost 13% of Democrats or something. He was just wack.

Republican suppression and young black peoplease not giving a fukk like they did for Obama.

All the Dems should support Bernie. Then, it won't be a problem

 

[tstone]

The experts on the news are saying that these republicans voters are the same voters that will vote in the general election, it just that their more motivated to vote for trump or against in the primary, so these aren't new voters, and a lot of democrats are content with either Hillary or Bernie, so not much motivation in the primary.

Donald Trump just TROLLED the whole Republican Party
