1 million more people have voted in Republican primaries than Democratic ones

[humbled_opinion]

Of course mainly red states are at the front end of the primaries but from the article

"That the early primaries have largely happened in mostly red states is certainly part of the reason that more Republicans have come out.

But it's also the case that turnout is down for the Democrats since their last contested nomination (2008) and it's up for the Republicans (2012). Across the board.

We had better get our act together and quick something is brewing out there.... not good...

[merrily]

1. They are like we were in 2008.

[morningfog]

8. But for asshole bigots.

[merrily]

9. That too, but desperate for change.

[humbled_opinion]

10. That is a scary thought

is trump their Obama ?

[merrily]

11. Not sure, but change is their hope and change.

2. Hillary ain't that interesting and they don't know Bernie

Pretty much sums it up.

[redstateblues]

7. I thought Bernie was supposed to drive turnout to historic levels

He has a boatload of money. He should be buying loads of TV to get known

[humbled_opinion]

15. Bernie could easily tap these young

people, I get their frustration, I get they see their futures slipping away, Bernie taps into that, Hillary does not, my take if it is Trump V Hillary, Trump is going to mop the floor with her....

3. Trump hasn't won a majority in any state.

The large turnout is due in no small part to GOP voters horrified by Trump.

[artislife]

4. He is running against more than one person. nt

[cheapdate]

12. Aware of it. Be that as it may,

he hasn't won a majority in any state and the high turnout is due in no small part to people turning out to vote against him.

[humbled_opinion]

17. Yes but if you relate it to our own

primaries it is like Bernie would be if let's say Hillary had another couple of real establishment challenges, why didn't she not Webb or Omalley that is like Santorum and Huckabee never going to happen but where was ...Julian Castro, Cory Booker, John Hickenlooper, Andrew Cuomo...etc... it is like all the establishment types that would pull numbers got a death threat....

[humbled_opinion]

13. Do you think they are more

horrified of Trump than they are of Hillary? Trump will certainly unite them with an establishment VP pick

[cheapdate]

16. More horrified by Hillary on average

but it's not an easy call for some of them.

[RealAmericanDem]

5. Dems will be out in force once they can vote against Trump

ABT will be strong

[timlot]

6. The Political Revolution seems to be working for Repubs...

Don't remember what the figures were, but Hillary has gotten 3+million votes thus far while Trump was around 2.5 million.

[humbled_opinion]

14. So who are these

voters? They weren't there in 08 for McCain or 12 for Romney both had to fight for their primary wins and numbers were no where near where they are this year....
