Something is unraveling right now in the Democratic Party. Come November, it could cost them the White House.
For decades, the "Get Out the Vote" campaigns and voter registration drives have been driven by liberals. The logic is this: the bulk of unregistered voters in the United States have Democratic leanings. The more people who are registered and the more people who vote increases the likelihood that Democratic candidates will win.
College campuses and youth events are gold mines for unregistered voters. In previous presidential elections, you couldn't step foot on a college campus or go to a concert in the country without being hounded to register.
But it doesnt seem to be a priority this year, and I cant help but to think that party leaders dont mind.

(4,753 posts)and her all-in-for-Hillary, scorched-earth, party-destroying mentality, what will you tell us? What will you tell us when we have permanent, jury-rigged, all-republicon control of government, the result of doing anything and everything to get Hillary elected?
