The whole party thing is no good for me, its just two sides that pit us all against one another. We may get a clean Republican slate this time, but for how long before the next Jeff Flake or Paul Ryan shows up? Voting red for now, hope for more parties, better candidates in the future.

Depends on where you live, in many states you can't vote in primaries if you aren't registered to that party.
A faction of Hardcore Democrats have always registered Republican to sabotage our primaries. My theory is that they did this with Trump beleiving they could easily beat him.
2010 was first year I voted. Straight R. Never thought I'd do that but Democrats were just principle concern trolling about deficits, outsourcing, and military adventurism issues I agreed with during Reagan and both bushes. One year of Obama showed me their true colors that blue collar dems are as powerless as they are extinct. Clinton sucked but at least he wasn't a social justice berserker

I was registered as Repub for most of my adult life (I'm in my early sixties). Prior to Trump's candidacy announcement I registered as Libertarian. I was fed up with the repubs and the dimms; could see the corruption since 1992 and was never going to vote for either party. So when I voted for Trump in 2016 I voted as Libertarian and I have early voted in my state (all repubs got my vote) for the 2018 mid-terms. By the way, I met a former dimm standing outside the location where I was voting. He was handing out voting guides for all the repub candidates. He had been a lifelong dimm and was older than me by ten years; he converted to repub after Trump's 2016 victory. Hard-core Trump supporter now. Major awake. Bless his heart.

Yes for sure same. And when they do get through on the phone I tell them I’m voting Democrat.
