Is it true ??

That the Trump campaign is drawing 20% of Democrats in their turnout?

And the Democratic Party is about 25% down in turnout from last election?

If this is true, it does not bode well. Are Democrats under-estimating the threat of this demagogue?

With Sanders and Clinton, shouldn't the turnout for the Democratic Party be huge?

but the Democratic turn out being down doesn't worry me so much ... I think a lot of Democrats are doing like me, and sitting out the primaries.
