WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Ted Wade hasn't cared about politics enough to cast a vote in a U.S. presidential election for almost a quarter of a century, back when he supported Ross Perot's independent candidacy in 1992. But Republican Donald Trump's 2016 White House bid has motivated Wade to get involved and he plans to support the real estate mogul in Nevada's nominating caucus next month. Trump is a "non-politician" who can fix the "chaos" in Washington, he says. About one in 10 Americans who plan to cast a vote this election will do so for the first time in years, if ever, and Trump holds a decided edge with them, according to polling by Reuters/Ipsos.

These voters offer Trump a pool of voters who could be decisive either in the Republican primaries or a general election. They could be crucial for Trump in early-voting statesm such as Iowa and South Carolina, where his nearest rival, Senator Ted Cruz, is putting pressure on Trump and enjoys a strong base of support with more traditionally conservative voters.
In Reuters/lpsos polling from June to December 2015, 27.3 percent of these "new" voters said they would vote for Trump, higher than his poll numbers among independents and Republicans who regularly vote.
By way of comparison, Cruz captures just 3.4 percent of these voters. And Senator Marco Rubio of Florida snags only 4 percent. "I'm tired of the chaos between Democrats and Republicans and want to give somebody a try who I think can make a difference," said Wade of Trump.

Excellent!!!
The thing is, most people have decided who they are for already. Trump supporters can NOT be insulted nor besmirched into changing their minds; they just dig their heels in harder and vow to do everything they can, to get him the nomination and the Oval Office.
I also doubt that lurkers or first time readers of FR see those posts as "welcoming" or interesting.
Donald is our blessed hope!
No matter what anyone might say/claim, he's the only candidate who can reunite this nation and bring it back from utter distruction.
Wife and I voted for Jesse when we lived in MN. He’d made all the right noise about sliming down Minnesota’s gold plated government.
Then, about 6 months into his administration, something went cookoo in Jesse’s brain.
Trump has a long way to convince this voter!
This is exactly what happened when Jesse Ventura ran for governor of Minnesota.Yup, and that does not give me a good feeling for a Trump administration.
You know, posting insults like that shows that you are incapable of rational discourse, which in turn shows just how limited you really are. It seems MOST of the vociferous Trump-hater, Cruz-Trolls here are jerks like you. I don’t understand why ya’ll think you’re doing your candidate any good by continuously insulting other people here.
you don’t know much about forums
“you don’t know much about forums”
And yet another BRILLIANT post by yet another BRILLIANT Cruz-Troll. Keep ‘em coming, dude. You’re starting to be entertaining!
who are you? Oh wait nobody
