there is no such pool of voters. And there certainly is no polling where voters are citing this rationale for staying home.

There isn't any public polling supporting his assertion.

However, if Democrats and Independents-- not to mention sober Republicans-- don't turn out en masse to vote for VP Biden, then our country will deserve the results.

There seems to be a lot of "doom and gloom" posts along with the "divide and conquer" tactics.

I am with the poster that said things like this "motivate" people to get out and vote, and that Well be obvious when the "blue wave" washes trump and his entire goon squad out of the W.H. !
