I'm going to give some credit to Trump here. It looks like the turnout at the mid term elections was very high (I've just heard on the telly that it may well be the highest for half a century) - this is primarily down to one person. Yes, a proportion of those who voted this time who don't normally bother probably did so because they loathe him, but anyone or anything which gets more of those eligible to cast their votes should be appreciated, so, fair play, to Trump - whatever else he is, he definitely makes people more likely to participate.
