He could have run against Trump but he didn't so has no leg to stand on.
Until Trump cam along, both parties have been picking our candidates for as long as I can remember
The disgruntled voter should bring a lawsuit against every eligible resident (including him/herself) in the state of Minnesota because they didn’t run against Trump on the ticket or the ballot that he is grumbling over.
Idiot. It’s the primary! Want more choices, run. It’s as simple as that. And he’s gonna vote Rat anyway.
Who is he suing? Every Republican that refuses to run against DJT?
The stupid is strong in that one.
The guy is wrong. Voting is not what sets us apart from other nations. Many countries have elections. It is the text if our Constitution that sets us apart.
He’s an Independent, not a Republican. How can he have standing to sue?
Dismissed without merit. SC had a similar law suit and the Never Trumper bozo lost. Party can run the primary any way it wants. Bozo here can still run in the general election. He has no right to be in a party primary.
I think I’ll sue this guy for the pain, suffering and loss of income he has caused me by being a total brain-dead moron. I’ll have more standing with my suit than he has with his.
As if mr. assclown planned on voting for PDJT anyway. He’s got plenty of contestants to choose from.
It’ll be tossed out of court because he isn’t a Republican and won’t be harmed by its rules.
In other words, Jim Martin has no standing.
Precisely where does this hick see any law that mandates a primary?
Hi.
In the fwiw department, I have never heard a progressive liberal socialist democrat ever complain about only one person on the ballot.
Happens in ‘Rat districts all the time.
Could this be the first time?

Weld and Walsh are allegedly candidates. Do they have any organization in Minnesota to get them on the ballot? I am going to guess they don’t. If you have only one viable candidate, there is going to be only one name on the ballot.
Too damned bad
It’s a party primary
Curious to know if he filed a suit when the Senate election was stolen and given to Franken. You know, because he doesn’t want political parties making his decisions. I guess it’s alright that Franken won with the help of quite a few ineligible voters, in the form of convicted felons, and, wouldn’t you know it, boxes of ballots found in the trunk of a car, if I’m not mistaken. And the numbers were just enough to tip the scales to Franken. Amazing.
Also, curious to know if he’s the least bit concerned that a sitting member of Congress, representing his state, should be investigated for numerous crimes.
Be interesting to see what his political leanings really are. I’m thinking he ain’t so Independent. No one in their right mind would be mad about this move from the Minnesota Rs.
The solution for “independents” is to get their states to adopt primary election rules to allow “independent” candidates in primaries, with petition drives that would seek to achieve a certain number of signers to put them on the ballot, in which persons with no party affiliation could vote for one of the “independent” candidates.
On the other hand, I do not think “party officials” should hand select who among registtered party members should be the only party members vying to be selected by the party in a primary election. The whole idea of a primary election is to let the registered party members vote on who to represent them in the geneal election, not have that choice dicated to them. If the party leaders are going to dictate that there is only one person for their party in a primary election, then they would be more honest just cancelling the primary election. This to me is not about Trump. It’s about whether parties themselves function democratically or not.
If he’s an independent then what is his standing?
Hope he isn't around children much.
Sit down and shut up Jim - you’re embarrassing yourself!
