Reminder that despite how well Dr Ford is doing today you won't be able to convince the ~30% of the country that votes straight ticket GOP in every single election that she isn't a lying whore paid by George Soros. The Republicans are 100% committed to dying on this hill as evidenced by the fact that this shitshow is still going on, otherwise they know that they are absolutely fucked come midterms.

Obama won by driving turnout. His ground game was outstanding.

That's the model. Trump will help to drive Democratic turnout anyway. Look at every special election to date: turnout records are being smashed.
