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.
Carlson could do a 180 and turn left on a dime anytime there’s something in it for him. Scarboro did it. Geraldo is a registered republican. Would you vote for him? I would in Maine perhaps.
He’s talked about it many times. S&F is just trying to make him look bad.
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson — a registered Democrat — explains why he always votes for the most corrupt mayoral candidate
Tucker Carlson: I don’t want to give the party thing because it’s actually misleading. I never vote so that’s the truth. I didn’t vote this time, I never do. “Then you don’t have the right to give your opinion” — yeah, I do. And in fact, I do.
I’m registered with a party that I sincerely despise because I think it’s really a force for bad in this country and it’s the Democratic party. But I’m registered because I live in the district, it’s a one-party state and the one election I always vote in is the mayor’s race because it matters. I own property there, I raised four children there. If you live in the city, I think it’s worth voting for an election so I always do.
I always vote for the more corrupt candidate over the idealist. Always. The person who will just like be happy taking payoffs from developers and leave me alone. This is like a meaningful decision in my life. Every four years, there’s some guy who’s like, “I’m going to make your life better!” I vote against that person every single time. You know what I mean? It’s usually some progressive candidate who’s got big plans for me, and so, I just vote for the status quo, corrupt criminal operation that runs the city and I’m really happy with that.
