Fine for people to voted uncommitted but jot sure why we don't see more people voting in the republican primary to throw trump off balance.
Because they genuinely love him. He's their god emperor.
Because I refuse to register as a Republican for any reason.
Assuming I'm understanding correctly, only a few states allow people to vote in a primary for a party that they're not registered as. Honestly, I'm not sure why any states still allow that, because I wouldn't want any registered Republicans voting in the Democratic primary any more than the other way around.
its not exactly as easy as it sounds, as if youre in a different party (e.g no party preference) you have to make a follow up request for another ballot of another party. the ballot doesnt get mailed in with the initial ballot. its effectively block anyone wanting the easy way to do it, over the mail at the least.
For one, I read last time that some places requie you to be a registered republican to vote in the primaries.
His mind is capable of speaking up to a third grade level. The people in favor of Trump understand him clearly.
You see that on occasion. My dad was registered Republican for many years in Florida just to vote in the primary for the less batshit option, and you have to be registered for a party to vote in their primary in Florida. In Minnesota, where I currently live, it's an open-ish primary where I could have theoretically chosen to vote in the Republican primary but you have to sign something saying you generally agree with that party's platform - and I can't honestly say I agree at all with the Republicans, so it wouldn't have been legal for me to vote in the Republican primary.
They ain't gonna check though. So you can jist lie.
Because that shit doesn't work. It got trump elected in the first place
