The Downcard and the importance of turnout

Here in MO we dodged a bullet and the TEApublicans didn't pick the one gubernatorial candidate who at last report wasn't polling ahead of Coster in they hypothetical general election (Kinder) which means (hopefully) we maintain a State House that won't send us the way of Kansas and Wisconsin.

I want you to peruse these retuns though:

Brixey — 398, 100%

Take a good long look at those numbers. In some cases ONE Republican candidate got more votes in his primary than ALL the Democrats did put together.

That is a sure and certain sign of a fired-up Republican base. They're eager to get out and vote.

NOW do you people understand the damage the Hillocrat/DNC machine has done? The party base is divided, dispirited, and discouraged. It didn't turn out to vote. That doesn't bode well for our chances in November nationally.
