      The silent majority very specifically is unengaged, and that’s where swing voters come from.

      It is a well-known (in political circles) electoral truth that all the money spent, all the speeches, and all the commercials, exist only to persuade about 7-8% of people that are otherwise totally disengaged and have no prior opinions.

      This is how elections are won right now, for better or for worse.
