Hello, Romney.Originally Posted by TYLERTECHSAS
And those 45% that don't pay taxes are too lazy to even vote.Talk about the enabled and blinded masses.
Exclusive Data Analysis: Democrat Turnout Collapses Down More Than 4.5 Million, Nearly 20 Percent In 2016 Versus 2008
Election data compiled by Breitbart News on the Democratic Party’s primaries and caucuses in 2016 and 2008 show that turnout in is down significantly, nearly 20 percent, from the last contested election.
The data also show that the about 4.5 million fewer people have voted in the Democratic presidential contest this year versus 2008.
This year’s contest is a two-person race between Democratic Socialist
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
16%
of Vermont and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton is also a former U.S. Senator from New York, a position she held after eight years as first lady.Hillary Clinton also ran for president in 2008, which makes this data all the more interesting: It’s essentially a comparison up against her previous failed race, when she was the frontrunning Democratic presidential candidate until then Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois blew past her late in the game taking the lead before winning the nomination and then eventually the presidency.
Back in 2008, as Obama battled Clinton, a whopping 23,715,866 people voted in primaries and caucuses nationwide in the states that have already voted this cycle. Fast forward to the next time there’s a Democratic primary for president, this year (since Obama was the incumbent president seeking reelection the primaries in 2012 were largely perfunctory), and turnout has dropped off significantly. Just 19,155,825 people have voted thus far in primaries and caucuses this cycle, a decrease of 4,560,041 voters or 19.23 percent.
The steep drop off is so significant on the Democratic side that the vast majority of states saw drops in voter participation in Democratic primaries and caucuses. The following contests saw less voters participate on the Democratic side in the primaries and caucuses than 2008’s contests: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Utah, Wisconsin, Vermont, American Samoa, Hawaii, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, Washington state, and Wyoming.
Only a handful of states have seen increases in participation on the Democratic side, including Arizona, Michigan, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas and Maine. With the exception of Arizona, Sanders won—and Clinton lost—each of those contests. That means the likely Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, has only increased Democratic primary votes in one of the states she won this cycle as compared with 2008’s primary turnout. Every other state she has won this year has seen less turnout from last go-around.
The Democratic race started with slightly more fanfare than it’s turned out to have, with former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley criticizing “royal” families in American politics while photos of him playing his guitar shirtless emerged. Even so, O’Malley failed to materialize as a serious contender, and he dropped out early in the process.
Former Sens. Jim Webb of Virginia and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island—who was also the governor of that state, and also once was a Republican—also ran and both dropped out as well. And since
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)
14%
declined to run against Clinton, as did Vice President Joe Biden, that essentially paved the way for Clinton to easily march to the Democratic nomination. The only competition she’s faced this cycle has come from Sanders, who again is a proud socialist—a term that just a few years ago was as dirty a word as communist or fascist—with radically liberal ideas.While Sanders has run what even Donald Trump ally Roger Stone calls a magnificent race—strategically deploying assets in key places, focusing on delegate accumulation and beating Clinton where it counts—he was never a serious challenger to the Democratic Party’s queen. So, as the seriousness of the race dropped off quickly, so did voter participation.
For instance, in Texas, 50.06 percent less Democrats participated in 2016 than did in 2008. Back then, 2,874,986 Democrats voted in the primary—whereas this cycle only 1,435,895 Democrats voted. That’s a drop off of 1,439,091.

RECORD AMERICANS RENOUNCE CITIZENSHIP
Many Americans Renounce Citizenship, Even Before President Trump
It seems crazy to call it the ‘New Normal’, but once again, record numbers of Americans are renouncing citizenship. Every three months, the Treasury Department publicly names individuals who renounced. It is surely more about FATCA and family than politics. Still, numbers are flying, with one poll saying that 1 in 4 Americans would consider leaving if Trump is elected. Others claim they will leave if Hillary is elected.
In reality, of course, most who bristle about politics are not serious. And for those who are, they surely mean a temporary move, not a final exit. In contrast, giving up citizenship is a big deal. Yet the number of published expatriates for the first three months of 2016 was a record 1,158. In 2015, there were approximately 4,300 expatriations. Comparing present to past suggests that Americans renouncing citizenship have risen 560% from their Bush administration high. There are now 18 times as many renouncers as in 2008.
The reasons for renouncingcan be family, tax and legal complications. Dual citizenship isn’t always possible, as this infographicfrom MoveHubshows. And leaving can be expensive. Some countries have no fee, but America charges $2,350 to hand in your passport. That is more than twenty times the averageof other high-income countries. The U.S. government has collected about $12.6 million in fees since the fall of 2014, after hiking its fee to renounce citizenship by 422%. Some renouncers write why they gave up their U.S. citizenship.

To those 1 in 4 who say they will leave the U.S. if Trump is elected....Have fun in Cuba, China, Russia....or wherever you are going!!! Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!
Don't worry, they won't have a reason to leave.
GO Trump!!!Don't worry, they won't have a reason to leave.
No, no, no. That, sir, is not a graph, a statistic, or a number.
Isn't a statistic also a number?
I believe he's being audited for a previous year, filed an extension for this year and can't release them now.
Begrudging WaPo poll: Trump 46%, Clinton 44%

Go Trump....kick Hillary's saggy butt!!!
Interesting. I know Russians respect ultimate and real strength by their leaders, which Obama is not, but who would have thought. Russia doesn't believe in "leading from behind" per Obama's stance. Likewise they know the evils of their own Putin and wish for another true world power to counter him. Hum...who knows. On the other hand Europe wants their leaders weak and bowing to a more global entities (EU and UN) and therefore view Obama's weakness as a leader as much better.
GALLUP: Just 1% Russians approve of Obama, far worse than Bush...
Obama's/Biden's/Gore's/Kerry's/Pelosi's/Reid's/Col. Sanders's and Hillary's new America to a T!! Nothing like getting more American's on the Federal Government tit ensuring a larger socialist,liberal voting base. To hell with the family unit and the overall disastrous effects for the individual and our country. These folks are sickos my friends.
