Registered independents would have no political play at all in my sort of primaries.
We don’t have party registration in VA. I dislike the gop with an almost palestinian level of animus, but I still vote in their primaries periodically as is my right as a Virginian. Usually for the kinds of knuckle-dragging conservatives that would send this perfumed priss to his daybed with a case of the vaaaaypohrs.
