Oooooh. What happened. Did they win?


Seriously, though, the current advantage Clinton has is in organization. Boots on the ground. Which translates into the ability to get your voters to the polls. I have read a lot of articles that say there are a lot of Republicans who are very unhappy with the way Trump has neglected to set up the kind of infrastructure that can drive turnout. Turnout is what got Obama elected and reelected. The Dems had a massive database which listed people who were democrats but unlikely to bother to vote, and they got those people to the polls.


When the country is polarized to the point where 9 out of 10 people are not going to change their mind no matter what, turnout wins the election, and that means organization- getting people registered, calling them on Election Day, giving them a ride to the polls if necessary. It means greasing some palms and getting community leaders involved. When the country is 13% Hispanic, 12% black, 51% female, 5 to 10% gay, add in the college students, and you can see, all the democrats need to win is TURNOUT.
