Don’t Get Too Cocky Republicans; The Turnout Numbers Say Democrats are Jazzed

Posted at 9:45 am on February 12, 2020 by Elizabeth Vaughn

As my colleague Nick Arama reported here, it was a great night for Trump. With 97% of the New Hampshire primary results in, the President is at 85.7%. In other words, he’s now in Reagan territory. And Tuesday’s Republican turnout, currently around 120,000, far exceeds that of any other incumbent president seeking reelection.

Although this is certainly good news, Republicans shouldn’t get too cocky because the Democrats had a very good night as well. The most updated figures (97%) show that 283,440 Democratic votes had been cast. Based on that number, 100% would bring it to approximately 292,200, which is significantly higher than Democratic turnout in 2016 of 253,062 (and slightly higher than in 2008 when 287,527 were cast).

It's good to finally see an article warning the GOP not to take Trump's re-election for granted.  Unfortunately, I sense that Trump feels he's unbeatable and he definitely shouldn't take his re-election for granted.

Very good points indeed.  You can not underestimate the left's hate of President Donald Trump.  It is showcased every night on late night TV.  It is almost a pathological hate.

Then there is the mathematics -- demographics have changed due to people fleeing high taxes and moving from high taxed blue states to lower taxed red states, along with refugees seeking asylum that have been granted citizenship and are new voters. TX is one of those states as well as FL.
