Activist voters from both parties who regularly keep up with politics view the latest battle through their own perceptual lenses and see what they want to see. “We’re winning, yahoo!” But most voters tuned out long ago and just hear, “Blah, blah, blah.”
As I have said in this space before, these “inattentives” will mostly vote against incumbents in the next election, or not vote at all. The national public polls on Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R), a central and polarizing figure in the latest conflicts, confirms all this for me. [cont.]
