Answer:
identifies with Republican ideas
Step-by-step explanation:
When someone registers to a party, democrat or republican, it means he/she identifies with the ideas spreaded by their members. This doesn't mean he/she will agree with everything they say and do. It is possible to change your affiliation as you are there voluntarily, no one has the right to force you to register in any party. The party affiliation is usually just important in primary elections as the vote is within a party. Lastly, you can vote for the candidate you want as the vote is secret.
