Right now, many of them don't really trust either party. They are voting Democrat as a check on Trump. Through them, we can eventually become the dominant party, if we can convince them that we will make a difference in their lives. The big issue is wages!

The prevailing thinking has been that most independents mostly lean one way, and that they will reliably vote that way. The original post shows that that is no longer true.
