Why? Because he lives in DC and so he can vote in the Dem primaries.

Exactly. It’s all about his ability to vote in local D.C. elections.

Yes. I know conservative New Yorkers who registered as democrats. NY primaries are closed.

I voted for Hellary in the primary so obamy wouldn’t be on the ticket. Others did, too. It didn’t help.

Yes, if he were registered as a Republican he'd basically have no vote at all.

I'm 71, and I grew up in Kentucky so my father advised that I register as a Democrat so that I had a vote. If you wanted to run for office in Kentucky in those days you could be conservative, or you could be liberal, but you had to call yourself a Democrat if you wanted any chance of being elected.

In the early 1980s in Florida it was pretty much the same but it was changing, and so I decided that I could no longer live the lie.
