Independents swept in the Republican Revolution of 2010

[onehandle]

Independents, who are 71% Conservatives and 'Moderates,' cannot be trusted in Democratic primaries.

'Independent voters, a key to President Obama’s election two years ago, turned sharply to the G.O.P.'

1. Op failed to read own op.

Other groups the op presumably would like to kick out of primary participation:

For the first time since 1982, when exit polls began measuring support for Congressional candidates, Republicans received a majority of women’s votes. Two years ago, House Democratic candidates won women by 14 points.

Catholics, independents and voters age 60 and older also sided with Republicans by margins not seen since 1982.

On the other hand millennials remained massively loyal to the Democratic Party.

Op fail is a tragedy.

2. Independents cannot be trusted to vote for the status-quo candidate.

3. Millennials screwed us

In 2010 only about 22% of millennials voted, and they voted only by a margin of 55%-44% for Democrats. So, while millennials may be enthusiastic for Bernie, in reality they cannot be considered a reliable voting block, and until they are Democrats will have to look elsewhere.
