| Will you change party affiliation After this election |
|
The primary is where these things are won and lost. We lost this time. If you register as an independent then you have no say unless you think a third party is going to make a real run at it. Or you can be an independent and just wait for the shitty choices in the general election. |

Last several years I have been NPA (no party affiliation) and I just tell them what ballot I want in the primary. I am really sick of the Kelly Ayottes and Lindsey Grahams of the world. |

This! my primary ballot didn't even include the potus section. Just local stuff

No. In my state you can only vote your party in the primaries . This, I've flopped back and forth over the past 10 years just for primaries. But I'll be fucked if I ever vote for another establishment RINO. Hear that Rob Portman? Kiss my ass, you conniving asshole |

Absolutely! Not because of a Trump loss, or even a win. I will shit can them as my representative party because of the antics of establish Republicans after all the endorse the candidate that wins bullshit and then not upholding their word. You know, kinda like they uphold their word when they actually show up in house and senate. |

I went "No Party" back in 2001, even though I am in a closed primary state. What took the rest of you so long to wake up? In 1990, I registered as a Democrat when I turned 18. In 1996, I changed to Republican upon graduating from college. After being involved with politics at a local/State level, and being disgusted with BOTH major political parties, I abandoned all political affiliation in 2001. I'm going to let you in on a little secret, even though the politicians are elected by the people, they still see themselves as part of the ruling class and the people who put them in office as obedient serfs. Sadly, this was at a Local and State level. I didn't even get involved with the US House and Senate, so I'd hate to see what factor of "us" versus "them" they see themselves as. |

If Hillary wins...cue the what difference does it make .gif   True. Trumps candidacy has torn the GOP apart. Time for a complete gutting of the party leadership (won't happen) or a new party (also won't happen). So Dem presidents until the fall of the country, so let's get Trump elected! |
| I changed my registration years ago. I forget if it was McCain or Romney, but I was equally unhappy with both nominations. My registration shows me as Conservative. I see no reason to change it. I do not agree with a lot of the Republican party bullshit, but they are occasionally slightly more tolerable than the Democrats. In truth they're not all that different, much to my disappointment. |

What does it actually accomplish besides making you feel good? Plus I want to be able to vote in primaries. Hoping my drop in the bucket might make a difference as futile as that might be. Lacking a better alternative I would rejoin in order to vote in primaries for next election season. |

No. In my state you can only vote your party in the primaries . In Ohio you can request any parties primary ballot. That makes you a registered Democrat or Republican though. A guy running a third party campaign in a local election found out he disqualified himself when he asked for a Republican primary ballot. |
