Sen. Markwayne Mullin, a former MMA fighter, had challenged the president of the Teamsters union, Sean O’Brien, but Sanders shut them both down.

        You said people won’t vote, you can’t pick and choose when they do vote in higher numbers than you’re saying in presidential elections.

          Last time I checked, senator Markwayne Mullin was not voted in as president.

          So I didn’t make the comment that you initially replied to. I was only offering some data that showed there are a lot of national elections where voter turnout was less than half. It’s true that presidential elections have a higher turnout than midterm but all of the house and ⅓ of the Senate are voted on in every midterm. They’re incredibly important and it’s a fact that less than half of eligible Americans turn out for those elections.
