This is an issue that stirs up the Dem base. They’re admitting that this is going to be an election determined largely by base turnout. They’re placing a bet that it’ll drive their base to the polls.
The question is can the GOP turn out enough of it’s base on it’s base issues (Obama scandals) and win over enough of the limited number of non-base independents/moderates on pocketbook issues (Obamacare premiums, etc) to swing the elections necessary to hold the House (likely) and take the Senate (possible)?
