re: #343 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Trump was able to count on his rabid base turning out en masse. Even if they are not about to change over to the Dems, they might find their enthusiasm dampened and not turn out in the numbers they did in 2016, whereas an awful lot of the people who stayed home then have learned their lesson.

I agree. The important task is to get out our voters — trying to persuade the GOP base is a futile task. My post should have highlighted the 2nd statement: that the comment applies to those who were still devoted to him at the beginning of the year. Those who voted against Hillary rather than for Trump could be persuaded.
