I would bet that number does exist and want a conservative candidate.I can hope I guess.
I would hope so too; but sadly, since FDR, more Americans are more concerned with voting lock-step with their party of choice and choosing “pragmatic” candidates than they are with stopping the present system. The Powers That Be have convinced most it is a fruitless effort.
In my opinion, the Founding Fathers would be ashamed at what has been allowed to happen to the electoral process.
