      It should worry *all* Democrats that turnout is not moving much versus 2016. Even if they don’t like Sanders, he’s built an army to turn out new voters. It’s keeping him steady but not really changing the electorate.https://twitter.com/jonvankin/status/1227424151205380096 …

      He was never going to change the electorate. He doesn't have magical powers, though many of his fans seem to think he does.

      One reason turnout isn't moving is most voters like all the candidates. Of the new voters who were brought into Iowa, a third went to Sanders, and a majority to Santers + Warren + Yang.

          Yup. Turnout will likely be bigger in November than 2018. There's really only one big, orange issue, and they all agree on it.

          Candidates voters like tend fo attract additional people. If you’re trying to explain the margins, gets at that phenomenon. If you have three likeable candidates, you want that to draw in more people.

          i think its sort of the opposite - voters aren't blown away by any of the candidates (even if they think all of them are basically ok)

          Subtract half of Warren and Yang voters to get indication of Sanders strength.

          Did anyone ever study voter behavior? Because it doesn’t look it.

          I keep hearing this theory, that Dem voters are so delighted with the entire field that they don't feel the need to vote. Where is the evidence for this theory? It seems highly unlikely, and runs counter to Sanders' argument that he and only he generates unbridled voter passion.

          Obama attracted new voters who increased turnout in the primaries.

          And, the stakes are high. There's analysis paralysis. I had my ballot and started to fill it out and then decided to wait. until after NV + SC.

          Also I love Sanders (& many of standing candidates & many of those who dropped out). My hesitation is that I don't want to make a mistake.
