Right but nearly 50K switched from R to D.

Are R’s looking to help Bernie? Or would they be center style republicans that actually like Hellary.

With those large numbers, I get the feeling these folks flip their registration every 4 years with a strategy in mind. Or they just pick the 1 in 20 they like best.

Time will tell.

Regarding the notion of voters switching parties to "skew" the Republican primary to a candidate they'd like to run against in the fall:

That is ridiculous. Could it happen on a small scale of ultra-politically motivated individuals? Sure.

But 50,000???

Seriously? The most likely explanation is that those people switched to vote for a candidate they support.

What I want to know is will those people vote R down-ballot. If so, Trump represents not just a single-man candidacy, but the political realignment of the country.

Yes, so many, even “Republicans” like Mrs. Bill and Obama too!
