Trump war against Mueller will make Dem midterm turnout soar

BY BRENT BUDOWSKY, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 06/01/18 10:15 AM EDT

Trump, even more than Richard Nixon, plays the politics of the enemy list. Virtually every day, Trump chooses an enemy to attack. His attacks dominate the news. This politics of enemy lists creates a growing anger and fear among voters who are disturbed by what damage this brand of politics will do to America if it continues unchecked.

For every voter in the Trump base who is motivated to vote by these attacks, even more voters who disapprove of Trump are motivated to vote.

Among the vast number of voters who have made Trump extraordinarily unpopular, these vicious attacks against bastions of American justice that Trump treats as enemies create anger, alarm and outrage.

They believe, in large numbers, that something has gone terribly wrong with America under Trump. They fear, very deeply, that something very dangerous is happening in America under Trump and Republicans who back him.

They will vote in November in huge numbers to create the check and balance against Trump that they crave and believe is not being offered by Republicans in Congress.

We save America in the midterms or this country will be the Fourth Reich in short order.

This election will be the most important one of my entire life, I know that. I pray to God that every democrat and every young person in this country absolutely swamps their local polling places this fall and saves America from the horror of Trump and the GOP!
