There is no question that Trump's base is enthusiastic and will turn out to vote. However, 2018 should inform you that the anyone-but-Trump faction is also enthusiastic and will turn out to vote and that group is larger than his base. Moreover, Trump has proved incapable of broadening his base.
New Hampshire Democratic primary sees record turnout
1. the NH primary is an open primary...
2. it did not break the record..it missed the record (2008) by about 3000 voters...285,680 in 2020 compared to 288,672 in 2008
3. missing the mark by 3k even though the NH Population has grown from 1.321m (2008) to 1.356m (2018)...a 30k growth, yet a 3k decline in people who participated in an open primary
Republicans kept the Senate because a number of Democrat Senators in light-Red states were up for re-election while virtually no Republicans faced the same challenge because of the way the election cycles worked out. Had Trump been able to broaden his base, the Republicans could easily have taken another seat or two.
Dems have a couple of major problems. They have no platform to run on-other than "not Trump" and "free chit". Zero ideas about how to keep unemployment down. Fix our failed educational system (other than throw even more money at the same failed system). No plans to expand energy production, rather they want to destroy it with no drilling on federal lands and eliminating fracking. No clue how to pay for their free chit. Racist reparations policies. Handouts for deadbeats (UBI). Taxpayer funded health care for criminal aliens. Gutting of civil rights.
Add to a complete lack of a platform-they have utter losers for candidates. Screechy, angry old socialist loons. Quid Pro Joe, buried in corruption. Amy about in tears when a kid young enough to be her grandson calls her out. And a small town mayor that thinks criminal aliens are "more American" than American citizens.
They HAVE to go with "anyone but Trump"-because they have absolutely nothing else to offer.

The NH primary DID break a record from what I understand. Trump got more votes than any incumbent running for his 2nd term in history.
If democrats hate trump so much that they are willing to elect Bernie the socialist, they are not rational. eliminating a president who has served up an excellent economy because you don't like his personality is too stupid for words. If the 'blue wave' does put Bernie in the white house, the country will deserve his leadership and all the havoc to our economy it will reap.
Ahead of 2020 election, a 'Blue Wave' is rising in the cities
"Even as Trump commands rock-solid support among Republicans, voters’ interest in going to the polls appears to be growing faster among those who disapprove of Trump than among those who approve of him, according to experts who reviewed the data."
"The advantage in urban political engagement extends deep into the most competitive battleground states that Trump won by razor-thin margins four years ago, the data shows."
Shhh liberals love to celebrate too early, it's our greatest weakness. At the end of the first quarter, we'll be like "yaayyy we're winning!" Then conservatives come out in force and embarrass us.
Iowa was down New Hampshire was up
Early voting in Nevada is up
3.8% in 8 years? Yeah I guess that's up.
Meanwhile Trump bested Obama in NH by 147%
