Well, they are welcome until she does enough research to figure out they are republicans. Then the welcome mat is snatched up then rolled up and tucked under her arm.
Then the group members get a brief pep talk or a bit of instructional advice on how everyone should vote the person and not the party and she follows that instruction with offering her personal choices to the group, of who she supports and it's nothing but a list of democrats.
