We were registered Democrats our entire lives, until Trump became President. We quickly learned that we were on the wrong side of life (although we consider ourselves moderate conservative, we are pro-choice and are not hardcore religious...but that's a subject for another day). We instantly became Trump fans...and we're Mexican/American! I was informed that if we're independent, we can't vote for a Republican Presidential nominee. So, do we have to register as Republicans in order to vote for Trump?
Edit: Forgot to add we are in California!
It doesn’t matter what you’re registered as when you vote. Just select Trump and then give him a chance to work with congress and you state leadership by holding your nose and voting straight Republican down the ballet.
