As a member of the Republican Party, I believe you are entitled to 5% off* on any Trump Hotel or golf course. All we Democrats get is a stupid autographed picture of Saul Alinsky.

As I've said many times, I'm a registered Republican who votes for anyone I want. ;-)
I'm looking at my voter registration and I would like to change my party affiliation to no party affiliation at all. I know I've mentioned this on the board prior and I haven't changed my mind. I was thinking about this and what would make the more powerful statement.
1. A registered Rep. votes Democrat.
vs
2. A registered Rep. drops away from the Rep. party entirely?
Hopefully what I am asking will make some sense. I want to make a statement not only with my vote, but I'm now questioning as to which might be the more poweful statement regarding affiliation this go round. I'm sure there are many more like me who want the Rep. party to know we've had it with their nonsense. Essentially, I'm asking what's the best way to stick it to them.
Any thoughts to share with me on this?
Neither option actually makes a powerful statement, because when all is said and done it is only the final tally that matters. Post mortem stats offer little more than news cycle entertainment.
As you have already stated, in your state, you can vote for whoever you want anyway...party affiliation is useful only for fundraisers and consulting agreements.

In Colorado, vote for the candidate most swayed by ultra-conservative Coors Beer money. In most cases that will be the Republican, but with enough Coors even the Democratic candidate will be swaying.
