I tend to agree with the earlier sentiment that a big turnout for the GOP is coming no matter what. You will have the Trump believers, as well as the Hillary haters. Finally, you will have some who aren't in either group (like myself) voting for Hillary but voting more republican on local races. The last thing we want is for Trump to win.

I don't really see the "Trump fear" being enough for a big democratic turnout - esp for the Sanders crew. Most (including the media) will explain how Trump can't win and the non-Hillary supporters in the democratic party may just stay home (esp if there aren't any super important ballot/local races). Obama was great at getting the democratic turnout - I can't see Hillary getting that level of support on election day. He's just a more inspirational guy while Hillary reminds me of the McCain/Romney/Kerry/Gore type candidate who you vote for on party lines - but aren't super jazzed about it.
