Editor’s Note: With the help of polls, early primary results and analysis, we put together an unofficial personality profile of voters based on the candidates they’re casting a ballot for. If you’re undecided, you may see yourself in one of the candidates and figure out who you’ll back in Tuesday’s primary. We’re not listing all the candidates, just those most likely to win their party’s nod and move on to the final contest: November’s general election.
If you’re voting for…
TED CRUZ: You’re likely to be a Second Amendment-loving social conservative. You want the next president to repeal Obamacare—also abolish the IRS and Education Department. You want the nation’s top elected official to have at least one mic drop under his belt. You know, like standing before the U.S. Senate, say, for 21 hours urging Congress to cut off money for Obama’s health care law. (Oh yes, he DID read “Green Eggs and Ham” during that filibuster.) And then, boom, he triggers a partial government shutdown.
There is something about the 45-year-old Texas senator’s rather abrasive personality you can appreciate, especially a guy who can acknowledge: “If you want someone to grab a beer with, I may not be that guy.”
You’re also: A Republican.
And you dig his Chicago connection: A petition was started against Ted Cruz to be taken off the Illinois ballot because he wasn’t born in the United States. A Cook County judge dismissed the petition to take the Texas senator off the ballot, according to the baiduhai.
