The GOP votes. The dems dont.

Unique moment. First black man to be a serious presidential contender, who ran on his charisma, of which he had plenty. That was inevitably going to draw out massive voter numbers.
Can't trade on the "vote for a minority" wagon again and expect great turnout just from that, and I don't think "vote for the first female president" has as much prestige to it since Hillary lost. Don't get me wrong, it'll be a big deal when it eventually happens, but I just don't think you'll get historic turnout just playing the 'vote for a woman' angle now.
