So much so, there is no way they won't vote for status quo. Trump may not be the most popular President but many will vote for the lesser of two evils and it's those voters that you need to watch out for if you are hoping and praying for a Trump defeat.

The middle is vastly silent, Trump's hard supporters are actually rather loud and final. The problem the Democrats have is the same as the Republicans had in 2012. In 2012, the Republican base wanted to go further right like the midterms went. Then Romney won the nomination but lost. In 2016 the Democrats put up Hillary and lost. The DNC don't know if it was a flawed candidate or being too moderate. And yes, Hillary is largely a moderate.
