It is a Thursday morning now and when next Tuesday rolls around we will again be watching a state elect it's majority choice for our democratic nomination. I love this time of year in that the general election is fully underway with our nominating processes. The trump appointed presidency is now being notified of it's challenge and eventual defeat. The beginning of the end for trump has begun although Iowa made a mess of it to kick off our blue wave. Even though historically the number of democratic voters was lower in Iowa I don't hold much weight to it because of the caucus format and the little populated state of Iowa.
But next Tuesday is different. There it will be an actual first vote count that will determine our nominee which will mirror the general election process. The turnout to vote in a normal way should be much more intense and I expect the numbers to be on par with New Hampshire's turnout in 2016 or even actually higher for New Hampshire. The Granite Bay state is no haven for democrats nor republicans so it will be curious to me whom receives the largest amount of votes. There is more scrutiny on the democratic side of things given we actually let our candidates debate each other whereas on the republican side the ceding has been done to the appointed trump.
Despite that gap in enthusiasm the difference in actual voters showing up and voting for their political party will be a gauge that we all will look to in order to see how our blue wave is performing. It is as much a critical criteria as whom ends up with the most votes. Our democratic enthusiasm to defeat the embarrassing man/child is and will remain throughout the primaries a priority. Getting our voters out to vote is our best offense in ending the current nightmare and next Tuesday for me is when it all begins.
