In 2016 most polls that I remember something about, had Clinton over Trump. That didn’t work out. If many voters didn’t show up because they “knew” Trump wasn’t going to win, wouldn’t the fact that most of us were wrong, now prompt the voters to turn out — for Sanders or Bloomberg or anyone else, just to make sure 2016 doesn’t happen again?
It’s real tough to try and rely on a factor like this, but it’s there and it could be a powerful lever to get voters turned out.
Seems a reasonable hypothesis at this stage.
