Maybe the strategy is to discourage people from voting…..
“They are worried that a negative, race to the bottom with Trump could stifle turnout, arguing that it has become clear to them — especially over the last 48 hours — that Trump’s strategy is to run the race into “the sewer.”
The thought goes like this: Trump scorches Republicans, gets nastier with Clinton to the point that she has to respond, voters get turned off and decide that they’ve had enough with this election — so they don’t vote.”[/quote]
Yeah, I’ve been a little worried about what will happen if the spread between Clinton and Trump gets too big. Those who would vote for Clinton may feel their vote isn’t needed and not vote. the Clinton fanatics and Trump fanatics will probably vote no matter what – probably those in the middle that are most at risk.
Other thing I found out yesterday: by election day, 40% of the votes will have already been turned in nationwide. In San Diego county that is even higher: mail-in ballots will account for 1M of the 1.5M votes that will be cast (67%).
