Non-voters

In the 2012 presidential election 126 million people voted and 93 million did not. The reason many give for not voting is they feel that there is no difference between candidates, no matter the party. Recall that George Wallace who ran as an independent said, there is not a dimes worth of difference between the democrats and the republicans. These same people may be looking at Trump as someone who is different and if 10% of them would come out and vote it could win the election. This may be one of the reasons that the Republican establishment does not want him to get the nomination because the fear he could win the election. This is contrary to what the experts say, since they are predicting an easy win for Clinton if Trump is the nominee but of course these people seem to be wrong about many things these days.
