People decide their votes in a variety of ways. Some decide on a particular issue and others are 'on balance.'
The Democrats are facing an electorate focused on domestic issues and that has been true since the beginning of the race. In the case of the Democrats loss of opportunity is the issue of many Americans and impoverishment since 2008. They are earning less per hour even though they have jobs. 2008 imploded the middle class. Americans, thankfully, have not changed their standards for ACCOMPLISHMENT. We have a long history that defines the American culture including the fact freedom and democracy equates to quality of life. It is that reason the electorate in the country is focusing on Senator Sander's message. It is a valid message.
Republicans are facing an electorate that wants fiscal relief as well. But, there are two different reasons for the same demand with the Republicans. The wealthy are recognizing the Wall Street average everyday to reach 18,000 and sustain and grow. The impoverished Republicans really do believe if taxes are cut there will be more jobs and better pay. The impoverished Republican has believed that is the case for decades and it has not relieved their financial burden anywhere along that paradigm. Grover Norquist is king, so supplementing their identity politics is God; the Bible Belt.
Terrorism bolster's the fear motivation, but, more Americans are coming to the reality what happens elsewhere doesn't necessarily happen in the USA. The USA has performed their security debate while many other countries have not. The middle east is an issue for the wrong reasons in the American political debate. The middle east is about their own reality vs oppression of dictators. "The extremist" has been viewed as the only method to remove oppressive regimes, hence the rise of an opportunist genocidal regime in Daesh. But, the young people of the middle east are finally realizing they can achieve more opportunity in their lives without the violence.
The 'fear' quotient in American politics may very well be redefined when Zika impacts the USA.
If there is one word I have to use to define the American political theater, it is "clarity." The issues are being defined in truth and less rhetoric by the people. They are interested in truth of their lives. They also believe that truth is important in defining their political choices.
