Stuart Rothenberg: “There is no doubt that Trump needs to motivate his base to win a second term, and his tweets and comments about immigrants and ‘socialism’ are, at least in part, intended to energize his loyal supporters and demonize the entire Democratic Party. On one level, that certainly makes sense…”
“But too much of Trump’s rhetoric does something else that actually undermines his prospects — it enflames Democrats of all stripes, reminding them why they feel they must defeat the president next year.”
“In other words, Trump is a turnout machine for the Democrats, as well.”
