I'm guessing they'd vote for anyone with a 'D' behind their name come Nov, but it would be interesting to hear. My thought is that since she's in the lead it'll be easier to say "Of course" though.

I'm not sure how hard that is to understand.

Of course, there will always be a few outliers, but the VAST majority will support the party's nominee.

I registered in Democrat Party in 1966. I didn't marry it or vow allegiance to it.

"I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all." Thomas Jefferson

if she is nominee ... this will be an interesting election.

Some younger people are already unwilling to hold their nose.
