Thousands of Massachusetts Democrats have denounced their party affiliations since January 1 to jump across the aisle and join the ranks of Independent or Republicans.
Nearly 20,000 Bay State Democrats, or 1.3 percent of the party's Masachussetts population, left to vote in the Republican primary Tuesday. More than 16,300 of that group have "unenrolled" or become Independent voters, while 3,500 have joined the GOP.
Mass. Secretary of State William Glavin attributed the switches to the "Trump phenomenon." The billionaire candidate has a significant lead over fellow top contenders Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz in recent state polls.
"The tenor of the Republican campaign has been completely different from what we've seen in prior Republican presidential campaigns," Galvin said. "You have to look no farther than the viewership for some of the televised debates.

Just the start.
25% of blacks support Trump.
Trump has the ability to destroy the existing political power structure in this country. Dems can’t depend on on (own) black votes. Republicans aren’t owned by open borders / NAFTA screw the working man Chamber of Commerce.
And just about every single one of those 20,000 is voting for Trump.
THE TRUMP AFFECT!!!
GOOOO TRUMP
Lord Bless Donald Trump and keep him safe.
Lord Bless America and keep her safe.
Mass trhreshold is 5% and no 50% rule... Everyone gets delegates
In before the “Reverse Operation Chaos!” blather.
And:
Reagan winning with “Reagan Democrats” = good.
Trump winning with “Trump Democrats” = bad.
We are seeing similar sentiment from people who normally do not vote Republican where we live as well. If their enthusiasm holds through November it will be historic. The funny thing is God does not always do what we want but he often knows what we actually need. This country needs Trump right now... we can’t chance it on another slick lawyer. The founders intended the country to be run by patriotic citizens not by slimy political professionals.
I really, really doubt this is a change in allegiance. It is a political play to sabotage the republican nomination process.
Well, if tomorrow’s results are as it seems they will be, ready or not, the Trumpman Cometh.
Earlier today/Last night there was an article about Donald Trump leading in NY state. f the Democrats lose NY and MA they lose
Ain’t the truth for our misguided modern conservatives.
Looks like MSNBC tied to do a hit piece on Trump, got the wrong interview on, and played a black guy saying all this racist b.s. is a bunch of crap. Love it.

This could get interesting fast...
Well said!
This isn’t going to make any difference in the general. Those brand new dems can vote Trump into a primary win and vote democrat in November. Hope I’m wrong, but it’s near impossible to trust the party of Hilbern.
25% of blacks support Trump.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Britt Hume, just tonight said blacks do not support Donald Trump.
Operation Chaos II?
