-- The uninformed voter seems to be a thing of the past. --

Hardly! Although Trump has ginned up interest for this presidential election cycle, I figure the voters are more uninformed than ever. The press hasn't obtained a penchant for honesty, and the "common voter" always reaches a preference more on emotion, self-interest, and superficial considerations, than on reason. We are a highly persuadable sound-bite society.

Observe how quickly polls change. They coordinate quite nicely with events. An example is that voterless delegate selection in CO and WY boosted Trump's level of success in NY, and seems to have enhanced Trump's numbers in Tuesday's states.

Then there's Cruz's making bathroom access an issue. It does seem that Cruz is using it effectively to keep some of his more comatose supporters on board. But most voters? We're seeing through the usual social issue scare tactics and keeping our eye on the prize. That's turning things around for the US, while leaving the social issues to states.

Considering Levin and Fat Rush both are giving Cruz butt hickeys and slobbering all over his hairy butt, I’d include them as low information supporters of Cruz
