- dragonwriter 11y ago> So is half of America that religious and conservative to actually approve people like Ted Cruz, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina? More than half of the Republican Party is. You don't need support of half of America to be a major party nominee (or even win the election, for that you just need more support than the other major party nominee -- ignoring the distorting effects of the electoral college system, which can actually let you win without even that, if your support has the right geographic distribution.)
- DrScump 11y agoCombined with the fact that less than 62% of legally registered voters voted in the 2012 (Presidential) election, well under half the population.
- protomyth 11y agoYes, although Dr. Carson suffers from the same religious prejudice issue (he's SDA) that Mr. Romney (Mormon) suffered from.
