The USA is not independent?

[Steely Tom]

The “independent voters” become very important every time a Republican looks strong in the Presidential contest.

[JohnBrowdie]

an independent run by a republican garantees that we get president clinton or president warren. It’s a ridiculous, treacherous idea, and the only current republican candidate that is self absorbed enough to even think about it is nutty rand paul.

and the dumb ass millennials don’t vote unless something bright and shiny (and deceiving) is running.

[hlmencken3]

The Jeb zombies will be out complaining that the smart GOP finds a great candidate that appeals to independents and then, dangnabbit, those conservative purists ruin it by staying home by the MILLIONS.

[MaxMax]

Are the Millennials “getting it”?

[goodnesswins]

If Ted Cruz is “extreme”...what was JFK???

[demshateGod]

He’s the only choice.

This is not a horse race where you pick WIN PLACE OR SHOW. This is what YOU believe in!! Don’t vote for some damned establishment blob “because he can win”. That makes me vomit. Vote you damned convictions!! If you don’t have any, stay the hell home!!

[stanne]

The press. Especially the right moderates do not know what to do with cruz

[2ndDivisionVet]

Unfortunately, lots of people have the “conviction” that they want to keep getting welfare, social security disability, food stamps, section 8, worker’s comp. and whatever else they can get their hands on.

[JRandomFreeper]

It's easier to gripe about principled voters than to do the hard work of actually becoming conservative.

Whiny liberal republicans will always be with us, and on this board, we know who they are.

The ones that vote (R) no matter how liberal the politician. As long as he's got an (R) by his name.

Amen Brother Cornman!
My feelings exactly.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Ted Cruz is ALWAYS a smart choice.

[eeriegeno]

This is not a horse race where you pick WIN PLACE OR SHOW. This is what YOU believe in!! Don’t vote for some damned establishment blob “because he can win”. That makes me vomit. Vote you damned convictions!! If you don’t have any, stay the hell home!!

Thanks for posting cornman. This message should be on all billboards in this country.

[EternalVigilance]

More and more Independents are conservatives.

[TChad]

Cruz is distinct from many of the other candidates in his party in that he has been more outspoken and more extreme in his conservatism than other candidates.

Anthea, it would be interesting to hear you babble when you tried to define the word. Oh, wait, no it wouldn't.

[roamer_1]

More and more Independents are conservatives.

That's because more and more conservatives are Independents. It's been happening for a long, long time.

[skeeter]

left-leaning conservatives.

This must be that new species of conservative who believes in corporate welfare we've been hearing about.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

“Independents” are Democrats who thinks calling themselves “independent” makes it so.
