While I’m thankful for the Republican primary wins in IA and NH, the percentages of voters showing up in each state was depressing. In IA, which you have to take in consideration that the weather was the worst it had been in a very long time, the Republican turnout of registered voters was 15%. In NH, the  turnout was less than 15%, no excuse there, the weather was great. I surely hope that Republicans realize quickly that you can’t just hope somebody else shows up. 15% won’t win the race and the stakes haven’t been higher in my lifetime. The Damnorats say “Democracy is on the ballot.” In reality, THE REPUBLIC is on the ballot. If we don’t win this one, my feelings are, we won’t ever have another chance.
