The midterms were typical to all other midterms. Those who stayed home, were Democrat voters who voluntarily stayed away. Whose fault was that? I think we all know the answer to that question.

The ethnic demographics remained very similar to the 2012 election results.  While the turnout was smaller (it ALWAYS is during midterm elections  . . . .  always),  the typical Democrat power base (young adults and single,  party-time women) had better things to do.   this is always the case and this last fact,  is the reason the Conservative Patriot Nation will have a strong voice at the table,  now and in the long term.

In the 2014 midterms, the American electorate was given a whole set of choices.  As you can see,   the results compare favorably to the Presidential election of 2012,  if you keep in mind the demonstrable fact that midterms ALWAYS score a smaller turnout than presidential elections,  this election cycle was strong-but-typical for GOP constituencies - scoring at or near 45%.  

Because the GOP was able to turn out the vote and the Dems failed, miserably, is not a repudiation of the electoral process. Rather, it is an affirmation of same. Dem voters were fully away of the this election and its critical nature, yet, they stayed home, making it clear that they had decided their own party had done so little for them, voting to continue their "gridlock strategy" should not be rewarded. THAT is the only plausible take-away. Again, the stay-at-home Democrat constituency was voluntary - no one forced them to stay in bed. They stayed away from the polls of their own free will. 

13% is the normal turnout percentage for young adults in a midterm. This year, that total was a nominal 12%, very close to normal. I could go on, but you all get the drift. 

Again,  turnout for the Conservative Nation was close to 45%. Occupy DC's turnout was closer to 30% . . . a perfect midterm demographic, in my humble opinion. Cheers.

In support of the claim that Democrat midterm participation,  this year,  was typical,  we have this statement from Bill Clinton: 

“We historically don’t do very well in midterms, we Democrats, because a different America shows up for midterms than in the general election.”  And there you have it,  from the top of the Democrat Party, here. 

Finally,  this was not an "anti-incumbent" election.   GOP Senators were all confirmed in their re-election bid.  If any incumbents in the House GOP Caucus lost,  it was only one or two.  Only one GOP governor lost re-election,  giving the Grand Old Party a 31/17 split as to state houses.  

And let's not forget that Dems tried to nationalized this election,  as did the GOP,  and failed miserably.
