What someone was registered as has no bearing on his leaning on the political spectrum. Only which primary he was allowed to vote in. I don’t under stand why people are so fast to try to say what party he is with. Either way you know he was anti trump, which is for all intense and purposes anti republican. Actions speak louder than words
Look, I’m all about avoiding unnecessary speculation, but being registered as a Republican is a very strong indicator of where they stand on the political spectrum. I don’t know why we are pretending that this isn’t fairly conclusive. It’s not like he changed party affiliation as a psyop, he’s been registered as a Republican for nearly three years.
I don’t know why he tried to kill Trump, but let’s not pretend that these details don’t matter.
Sadly, that doesn’t matter to them - at least from what I’ve seen, the predominating narrative among rightists and “centrists” is that he only registered Republican to sabotage/protest-vote in their primaries, and that therefore he’s actually far-left Antifa did it.
That makes me curious if there’s been studies on the typical percentage of people who register with a different party than the one they typically vote for. Especially comparing closed primary states (like Pennsylvania) to open primary states. Closed primaries clearly disincentivize registering independent but I could also see people believing it’s advantageous to cross-register, especially when your preferred party is incumbent or when in a state that consistently votes the opposite way as you.
also a registered republican!
But he donated to a pro Biden PAC!
