If the Dem can have low-info voters (as we often claim they do), then it stands to reason that the GOP has low-info voters as well.

I am a highly informed voter and I see the benefits of trump. Actually, I am so highly informed and so smart that I can see right through your misrepresentation of trump’s positions.

Like Cruz tried to manipulate Chick Norris??

Didn’t go too well. Ted should shut up about this kind of stuff, or at least not make it so obvious Trump is living rent free in his head.

So you think Trump is not manipulating low infomation voters? Sure looks like it to me. Lots of them are right here on Free Republic where they happily regurgitate Trumps most outrageous and transparent lies. It’s sad, really, to see how far Free Republic has fallen. These paid trolls used to be zotted by the moderators, but no more, it seems.

What makes you say this was any sort of manipulation? Looks to me more like a misunderstanding. It certainly didn’t help Cruz, did it?

“I am a highly informed voter and I see the benefits of trump. Actually, I am so highly informed and so smart that I can see right through your misrepresentation of trump’s positions.”

The statement wasn’t referring to you, I guess. I didn’t take offense, either. But, I haven’t been branded yet. Still open.

Second that, But it’s not a lack of info. It’s the lack of will to think. Fear and Anger make people stupid. Trumpsters are randomly lashing out.

Ted isn’t this stupid. He’s got more bad people on his team feeding him this stuff to repeat. He needs a new campaign manager.

Agreed. I don’t think that people here are paid, just desperate enough to believe transparent pabulum.

What is low information and disengaged voter these days? Do they not slave over 3 hours of talking heads a night?

No, they’re the people that work all day. Take care of a family at night — sit back and say, hey yea, I am paying too much in taxes.

I think it’s proof that he’s getting genuine support from Democrat voters actually.
