    Registering R in PA which has closed primaries just means he lived in a red district and wanted to vote in the only primary that matters. He donated to progressive groups.

      By that same Trojan Horse logic, donating to Biden’s political opponents doesn’t make the situation any clearer.

        It’s quite common in safe districts to register with the predominant party and donate elsewhere.

          You missed the point. At least from my reading you did.

          If he was a typical Democrat voting in the closed primary to make more of an impact that makes some sense.

          But his donations, based on the previous comments statement, made for a political opponent of Biden.

          Meaning it doesn’t really work to just say he was typical R or typical D.

            Nobody is a typical R or D at that point. There isn’t a PAC out there that is just straight DNC or GOP. That’s not a realistic standard.

              … You missed the point again… My interest in clarifying for you has died. Sorry it didn’t help.

                No you’re just grasping at straws to paint this guy as anything other than a democrat when the reality is we don’t know shit about him yet.

      GroupS? The BBC reported that he donated a few bucks to a Liberal party or something, but that’s all I’ve heard
