Ezra Klein was talking about a study he'd read on what really motivates voters. What it came down to--I think--is this. Voters are not motivated by loyalty to their own party. Most voters view their own party with suspicion. Voters are mainly influenced by their hatred of the other party.
That's why professional pols spend their time trying to work up rage against the opposition. Rage brings a big turnout.
