The numbers are there. Someone just needs to tap into them.
According to Gallup:
38% of the country identifies themselves as Conservative
34% of the country identifies themselves as Moderate\
24% of the country identifies themselves as Liberal*** This is a record %
According to Battleground:
58% of the country defines itself as anywhere from “very conservative” to “somewhat conservative”.
Only 37% define themselves as “very liberal” to “somewhat liberal”.
There is a natural conservative base. You doesn’t have to live in the squishy middle and you don’t have to play identity politics. You just have to be conservative.
Cruz gets that. The rest don’t.

I’m scratching my head trying to understand the poll results from both Gallup and battleground.
Regarding Battleground, the only way we can reconcile 58% being “very conservative” to “somewhat conservative”. is for a significant number of Gallup’s moderates (about 20%) to be “somewhat conservative”.
But “somewhat conservative” is meaningless. What does that mean?
Do they support gay marriage? Do they support Obamacare?
This “somewhat conservative” is the mushy group that could vote Obama or Hillary if enough goodies are handed out.
