As an independent, do you have any vote in the primaries? If not, and if you support Trump, why are you not registered as a Republican so you can cast your vote for Trump? Even if I don’t support your choice, I do support you having the opportunity to cast your vote. Otherwise, like a few of my dear friends that are not registered to vote, you words and enthusiasm are wasted and a distraction.
I am a registered Republican but “independent” of any campaign.
