Anti TPP. They think Trump might be too willing to cut a deal, and want someone who has a proven record of opposing fast track.

I could see that. Also maybe a young evangelical whose genuinely on the fence after liking Bernie's speech at Liberty.

A moderate anti-Trump Republican who's debating on whether to vote for the only guy who can stop Trump, or just voting Democratic (and Sanders is less bad because guns and emails).

It can't be someone who thinks personality is very important.


Probably a libertarian who supports universal healthcare. Considers themselves pro-choice but thinks it should be left up to the states.

Why not? Trump has a very polarizing personality, so it could be someone that dislikes him while also thinking Hillary is corrupt.

Have you listened/watch a speech of Ted Cruz, or Ted Cruz at a debate?

A caucus supremacist. They believe caucuses truly represent the will of the people, and all elections should be conducted through caucuses.

Maybe they're neo-Nazis who get the words "caucus" and "Caucasian" mixed up? Tongue

Fanatically anti-trade union member, but also a megachurch Evangelical Christian who is equally fanatic about reversing the sexual revolution.  Almost surely a married man, and probably lives in the upper Midwest.  He's also emphatically anti-racist, to remove any Trump appeal.

maybe because he's an old hippie/civil rights activist who found Jesus later in life.

What about an average Libertarian who sees no value to third-party votes?

Someone who wants genuine politicians who really believe in their policies and thinks we're better off with a misguided true believer than a machine apparatchik.

Presumably they like Cruz's religiosity, and Sanders's complex vocabulary and interesting accent. Tongue

This.  A lot of people vote more on temperament and personality than policy, so my guess is this type of person wants someone who is tough and "tells it like it is," but thinks Trump is too brash for his tastes.

Or realizes Trump tells it like it isn't.

She won't vote for Clinton or Trump and will support there opponent no matter what, she doesn't actually watch the news either but she wants a man with strong morals and she despises Hillary so she voted for Bernie. Her main issue is abortion and the courts. Also thinks Obama is a socialist she said last week in class.

People who vote on intangibles like "most trustworthy" and such, perhaps some libertarian leaning people who will never vote for Clinton or Trump, but like Cruz on economics and Bernie on foreign policy and social issues.

Some libertarian who lives in an open primary state. Hates Clinton, so votes Sanders. Hates Trump, so votes Cruz as a last resort to stop Trump.
