So does the non-ideological 38%, that values affordability above all else, actually vote?

If they did, then it's difficult to imagine they'd vote republican given the gop's punitive economic policies & the 38%'s priorities from this word frequency distribution.

Then it turned out - Israel being a small place - that a good friend's cousin had married him when he was in prison. (The opinion of the rest of the family was that this was crazy and he was a shit.)
