American voters are motivated by a fever pitch.
That’s the message from last week’s elections.
The headlines were the Democratic sweep of the state legislature in Virginia that put the entire state government under Democrat control for the first time in 25 years and the defeat of incumbent Republican Gov. Matt Bevin in Kentucky.
An important part of the story is that voter turnout was off the charts.
In Kentucky, an estimated 43% of eligible voters turned out compared with 31% for the last gubernatorial election, in 2015.
Voter turnout in Virginia was the highest it has been for a state legislature-only election in at least the last 40-some years.
There’s a lot of noise in the political and cultural arenas in America today, and it’s exactly what I talk about in my new book, released this week, “Necessary Noise: How Donald Trump Inflames the Cultural War and Why This is Good News for America.”
A new Gallup poll measuring voter enthusiasm reports that 64% are “more enthusiastic” compared with previous elections, a percentage “among the highest Gallup has measured across presidential election years.”
It’s actually the highest ever measured because previous levels in this range were reported one to five months before upcoming election. Voter enthusiasm at this accelerated level one year before an election is unprecedented.

Which is why Elizabeth Warren will be elected President and the Democrats will maintain a House majority and reclaim the Senate. 2020 will be the “Year of the Democrats”. Mark me on this. Just wait and see.
Enthusiasm and common sense don't always go hand in hand.

Socialism, illegals, Democrats not passing bills Republicans have submitted, attempting to destroy Trump on lies and no facts. Democrats they stating they are following the "rule of law" but "hearsay" is not facts and not the "rule of Law".

Republicans are losing some important local elections to make a difference in 2020. Trump needs to keep his mouth shut and let his staff speak out on his behalf. If he does not, Republicans will lose more elections. Just because Trump's rallies are impressive as far as the size of the crowds, that does not mean all who attend those rallies will vote. Republicans better do a better job at recruiting new voters and making sure they get to the polls to vote. And make sure they are educated with the facts of the dangers of socialism and communism. We must volunteer to work at the local level or we will lose to the millennials. They are clearly more motivated.
America's Enemys the Demon-crats have just awakened
the Sleeping Giant just like in WW2 !!!
