The problem is the down ballot. I'm having trouble believing that a whole lot of people went out there and voted for Trump for president, and Democrats everywhere else.

I understand staying home. I understand voting Republican. But lots and lots of split ballots?

A decent number of trump voters only voted for Trump. They left the downballot blank because they don't really care about anything but Trump

Yeah, sure. But we saw a gigantic increase in split ballots.

Orders of magnitude more split ballots than any other election.

Have you met anyone that did that?
