Unlike Australia, they have penalty for NOT showing up to vote, something like a credit or deduction on income tax for voting.
US turnout rate is normally low for poor, young, uneducated, but high for older, rich, conservative.
Democrats will be of first kind, Republican will be the other.
DT won was partially caused by the fact that everyone thinks Clinton is going to win and DID NOT BOTHER to show up.
The Supreme Court Justice job is for LIFE and impact lots of court cases.
The nomination of Brett (a drunk and Yale law grad and womanizer) is the trigger point.
DT base got excited if Brett did not get the job.
Women, youth will get excited and turn out to vote if Brett gets elected.
So it could be the battle vs war scenario. Got a partial Justice and then impeach (yes possible) later and control the house and senate; or lose control and fight for another conservative nominee. |
