Past behavior indicated independents vote at least 40 % or more democrat...
The majority of Independents are Conservative and they greatly support Ted Cruz.
That's an opinion not backed up any any current polling...
Though I certainly would like to think your "opinion" is correct, it's still just an opinion...
I might add, the GOPe has the money purses in their back pocket...where exactly is Ted Cruz going to get the funding to run and win primaries...
Politicas after all is said and done is a lot more about money than principles...
Your problem is one of being myopic...you see politics though the prism of your conservatism...
In my business I meet thousands of people a year...I know lots of people who are fine decent people who would believe it's against their core beliefs to vote for Cruz, ask them why and you get a deer in the headlines look...
> “That’s an opinion not backed up any any current polling”
It’s not an opinion. It’s fact.
From the much more accurate Market Research Foundation Study:
The key finding: Independents are nearly twice as likely to have conservative views as liberal ones.
