Going from Amy to...

17. I agree in that I see no point of jumping around.

I've been for Elizabeth Warren since early on, and still think she is the best candidate.
But, I will strongly support whichever candidate gets the nod.
I too am from New York State, and like the fact that it is a closed primary.
Too much chance for mischief in an open primary.
Independents have chosen not to be part of a political party, so it's their decision not to be part of the primary process.

I don't see any reason to change that.
Let the independents join a party to be eligible to vote in their primary.
But I also would like to know what percentage of voters joined just to vote in the primary and then reverted to being an independent afterward.
