Trump got some bad news on Super Tuesday: Democratic voters are eager to show him the door

The best news for Democrats in the Super Tuesday results may not be the surge of Joe Biden, or Bernie Sanders hanging on, or even Mike Bloomberg dropping out (although I am personally extra thrilled about that). No, the best news is the record and near record turnout of Democratic voters all across the country. Whoever the eventual nominee is, it’s clear that Democrats are fired up and ready to vote to defeat Donald Trump.

In Virginia, Democratic primary turnout was the highest on record, surpassing the previous record set in 2008. In fact, 23% of registered Virginians cast ballots on Super Tuesday, which almost doubled primary turnout from 2016.

Utah saw a turnout in Tuesday’s Democratic primary that eclipsed previous turnout for any primary held in the state, among Democrats or Republicans.

In North Carolina, voter turnout was also up over 2016 numbers. And early voting had a strong surge — with almost twice as many Democrats in the state casting early ballots compared with Republicans.

They cant blame double voting, illegals, the dead voting, etc, if the margin of victory is MANY states by good margins.
They still get upset when you point out that regardless of electoral college numbers, Trump only won by about 80k votes over three states
They hate it because they cant refute it

It is the best story that came out of Super Tuesday as far as I am concerned. Democratic voters are fired up and ready to come out against Trump. I am hoping for record turnout in November and Trump being shown the door.

At this point, I am a bit exhausted from the Primaries so far. I hope that we can get a nominee and wrap this up soon. I am good with either Biden or Bernie being the candidate at this point, albeit for very different reasons. Although it might be moot, because I think that Joe will probably get the nomination. We will see what happens. But record turnout is very encouraging.

we can win on Nov 3, but we really need to get the vote out and take the Senate, too.

...If we continue to have voter turnout like we've enjoyed since the 2018 mid-terms, we can expect a very, very positive outcome. And I'm not talking about just the White House. We have a great chance to flip the Senate.
