So is Tucker, but he says he is because the district in which he lives usually runs democrats unopposed and he wants to vote in the primaries. He’s since moved so who knows?
MARTHA RADDATZ, ABC NEWS: You've been a registered Democrat, correct?
FLYNN: I grew up as a -- in a -- in a -- I grew up as a Democrat in a very strong Democratic family. But I will tell you that the Democratic Party that exists in this country is not the Democratic Party that I grew up around in my -- in my upbringing, not at all.
RADDATZ: Change registration?
You change registration?
FLYNN: I vote for leaders. That's what I vote for. When I vote -- and I -- and I honestly -- I didn't vote much at -- in the military because I served whoever was the commander in chief in the military.
But I vote for leadership. That's what I vote for and I vote for America.
There are a lot of Democrats that are Democrats in the same way other people are Jewish or Catholic: By heritage and family tradition, not by belief or practice.
RINOs are worse because they pretend to be with you.
Much like how I consider CNN to be the worst tv network. MSDNC is totally open about their commie views. CNN pretends to be the balanced news source geared towards swing voters and independents...
There used to be many law and order, God fearing and gun owning Democrats, until somewhere in the mid-90s. If you're over 40, it's very possible to have grown up in a Blue Dog or Reagan democrat household. Many of these people, while still registered Democrat, haven't voted Democrat in a national election for decades. They pretty much all voted for Trump in 2016.
That said, the operative description here is 'over 40'.
Not an intellectually earnest one, anyways. But there's still a significant number of Blue Dog and Reagan Dems (or their kids) who basically vote Republican.
There's not a lot of them these days. But about 7-10% of the Democrat electorate still describes itself as conservative. It seems amazing, but it's true - and usually it's for reasons of local politics, tradition or inertia.
I'm working with a guy right now (In California, mind you), who is almost sixty, white collar and a Democrat, and he hates BLM/Antifa and thinks the people tearing down statues should be shot. He's often alarmed and confused that other Democrats don't feel the same way, as he hasn't gotten the memo on wokeness. It's easy to forget that in the 90s, mainstream Democrats had a significant pro-life contingent and were competing for the most tough on crime policies. A time when Bill Clinton said that if Israel were attacked, he'd get his gun and go defend it. So.
I'm not saying they'll still be around in 10 years. They won't. But they're still like 7% of the electorate.
The easiest way to determine if someone is a communist is to ask them if they're a registered Democrat.

Damnit Jesse cut it out you're making the rest of us slack-jawed faggots look bad! 😂🤣😂
Maybe. Maybe not.

Yeah, he clearly answered the question that he was still a Democrat.

Lots of Republicans that are GOP in the same way.
Haha yep! This is the best vid I’ve ever seen btw
It’s crazy how relevant all the red scare is today!
RINO"s are just as bad.
RINOs are worse because they pretend to be with you.

RINOs = CNN = TRAITORS/LIARS/OPPORTUNITSTS
I've long characterized RINOs and GOPe as Vichy Republican swine.

Then I guess I'm a commie? Too lazy to do paperwork, and if I change my affiliation then that might be the reason my ballot gets tossed in Nov.
