That is quite a blanket statement. Are you refuting my nonpartisan affiliation?

No.

It's really an established fact that the voting patterns of independents are tilted decidedly toward Republican or other candidates on the right. Libertarian, for example. They almost never vote or a Democrat or, say, a Green.

They are the swing vote.
This year they will be voting against this administration overreach, government scandals and lies.

In other words anybody that is not a demarcate.
