Right turn

[Mark Thibodeau]

By the way, that 45/55 is WITH the GOP pulling out ALL the dirty
tricks in their handbook, and a few more to boot. And when you factor
in the massive turnout (historically good for Dems) and the
demographics of that turnout (more Millennials than ever before by a
factor of 4 in some states)... in terms of votes cast, I wouldn't be
surprised if it was closer to 61/39 votes cast for Dems over the GOP.

No kidding.
