Will the crowd turn out turn into votes?

[Paula Sims]

So tRump, Bernie, and Hillary are getting big (or "HOOOGE&quot crowds. Great.

But who will actually come out to vote in the primaries? Will the tRump supporters, if their emperor with no clothes doesn't get in, will they vote for the other GOP candidates? Also, I've heard both Bernie and Hillary supporters say that they couldn't stomach voting for the other one.

So, again, the question is, will this 'entuziazm' turn into actual votes?

1. In Iowa I think it also depends on if they get majorities to turn out in more precincts

because iirc convention delegates are awarded according to caucus wins.

Somebody who knows IA better than me should check me.

4. Obama got hoooge crowds then once he was elected they

abandoned him. What makes anyone think it will be different if Sanders gets elected?

6. Obama had a popular following -- email lists, snail mail lists, phone numbers...People cared.

People were excited when he won.

After his inauguration, he made no effort to organize those supporters into political strength. He could have asked them to call their representative to support single payer or public option. He could have singled out individual legislators.

Instead, he did nothing. He wasted the support.

The result was no change in financial regulations and shit for a health care reform.

Maybe Bernie will do the same.

We know Hillary will respond to her election with a big, "Now go fuck yourselves. I got want I wanted."

7. I remember several times during the last 7 years when

he did ask people to support him, what did he get a Republican congress. One I can remember was after Sandy Hook when he
tried to get some kind of sensible gun laws passed.
