Predicting this Election's Turnout- Nick Baumann's Blog


The main idea of this article is that even though Clinton is winning the election, it could take a catastrophic turn and Trump could pull out a win. Also the article talks about how citizens will vote out of hate for the other candidate. For example, some cannot bear to see Trump win so they will vote for Clinton to support that cause, and vice versa. The main idea of the article is important because it is a close race and nobody has a clear path to victory. This is relevant to Americans who care about the leader of their country and care about what their motives are. Connecting the article to chapter one, the article talks about the checks and balances that Trump would unwillingly face as president. This is also relevant in chapter one because it explains democracy and that the president doesn't have complete power over the country, they are contained by the checks and balances. The question that I have about this article is what groups, other than whites, does Trump appeal to and why?
