TRUMP WILL CAUSE AMERICANS TO VOTE EN MASS

[Lief 🗽]

But Kasich is such a strong general election candidate! The political experts at the Atlas forum told me so!!

Also LOL at Snarly Carly! Americans are so averse to THAT FACE that they wouldn't leave their homes to vote!

Trump is a turnout booster. He will increase the turnout of both Republicans and independent moderates.

The other candidates will depress the turnout.

[I support Sanders]

When you leave atlas, you begin to really understand how this election is going. Atlas would make you think Kasich will eventually become the nominee lmao

He will. Watch him win New Hampshire, and sweep Super Tuesday.

Kasich is not going to win a primary in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, or Oklahoma, and those are all super tuesday states.

He will be sweeping during Super Tuesday all right. The floor, with a broom, cleaning all those empty condom wrappers from the party in the Trump Towers.

Do you know how many southern states are on Super Tuesday? You are speaking out of pure ignorance.

No, I'm not.Kasich will win New Hampshire, and be propelled into 2nd or 3rd place during Iowa, and then bring that momentum into Super Tuesday.

That enthusiasm gap between Dems and Reps is pretty bad news for the GOP anyway.

Stuff like this is rather bogus - Republicans are such a reliable voting bloc that your turnout is going to be practically identical for any and all of the current candidates, especially when factoring in motivation to vote in Senate, House, gubernatorial and local races. This is just your standard pre-nominee pouting fest from supporters of each candidate not wanting to say that they'll support anybody else. Notice how more or less and of the ones surveyed, the % of Rs turning out decreases based on the % of the primary vote that candidate currently has in the polls (Bush is the anomaly).

It may be right about one trend, though: Trump possibly could spike turnout among normally (very) unlikely/currently unregistered voters when compared to the rest.
