    Registered Independents now outnumber Republicans first time ever.

    Since independent is not a political party and isn't involved with primary elections, how does one register for it?

    Probably because of all the democrats leaving their radical left party they can no longer stand.

    Doesn't really matter what party people register as, what matters is how they vote.

    That's because many Independents like me did what I did. Because of Trump and Trump Republicans in Congress who refuse to oversee the executive branch, Independents left the GOP in droves. I was one of them.

    Republicans in Congress even allowed Trump to usurp the powers granted to Congress and did nothing. Then Republicans in the Senate allowed Trump to invite a foreign power to intervene in our Presidential election while bribing a foreign leader. That was the last straw for many.

    Trump is so bad his supporters can't defend him from critics such as me and many like me.

    I switched from the GOP to a conservative Independent in February.

    63 million Americans voted for Trump in 2016. What's your point?
