Logic would say people should blame the GOP but...will they? IMO, as things get worse, voter dislocation will lower voter turnout. Schools may not have oil for heating and may not open. Their may be not be any student loan money in the fall, reducing the youth voter turnout.

Also, people in stress tend to go with the known(even if it against their interest) and will stay with a known entity, rather than take a chance.

What you think?
