Former New Hampshire GOP chair moves to take Trump off the ballot
Hot Air ^ | November 24, 2015 | JAZZ SHAW

A former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party says Donald Trump should not be on the Republican presidential primary ballot on Feb. 9 because the GOP frontrunner has not proven he is a registered Republican and has expressed views “inconsistent” with the state and national party’s platform and by laws.

In his usual, understated fashion, Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski responded by saying that if this move were approved, “Mr. Trump’s supporters would probably riot in the streets of New Hampshire.”

Normally I’d shrug off a comment like that as typical campaign rhetoric, but in this case it’s probably much closer to reality than hyperbole. Just this weekend I had a conversation with one family in Nashua who I’ve gotten to know quite well through my various trips there and I could easily picture them looking around for some pitchforks and torches. These are people who are heavily involved in the state legislature battleground and really have their finger on the pulse of the GOP community up there. I’m here to tell you that they are All Trump All The Time.

The most common words I hear associated with the real estate tycoon in these conversations are fight and fighter. The dire nature of the situation with ISIS and the very real and present threat to America posed by radical Islamic terror has people paying attention and they are looking for somebody who is ready to fight. It’s a very H.L. Mencken atmosphere in some quarters of New Hampshire and Trump’s appeal seems to be that he’s the guy who is ready to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

A mistake,

The base will be very upset if this is done.

Livid is a better description

Not a wise move by the political class hacks...or at least by this specific political class hack.

Democrats are ordering popcorn by the trainload as the republican establishment makes asses of themselves.

I wonder how much that former GOP official was bribed to make that objection. I'm guessing he got a C note and an autographed picture of Jeb.

There are also 2 challenges to Ted Cruz on the eligibility question, both in NH.

Wonder who is paying these guys to make these challenges. I’ll bet the GOPe.

The GOPe continues to marginalize itself. Can you envision the Dems intentionally alienating their base?

Someone post this schmuck’s phone number or email address so we can give him some friendly advise of where he can stick his head.

As much as I despise and distrust Trump this is just WRONG on any number of levels.

It could not be more clear. The GOPe would rather have Hillary than Cruz or Trump.

One way or another, they want to make sure he doesn’t win eight primaries. They want an open convention and to shove Jebra down our throats there.

"The most common words I hear associated with the real estate tycoon in these conversations are fight and fighter."

As apposed to those in the democrat/rino communist uniparty, who would rather surrender.

Yeah, if something makes no sense there is usually a bribe behind it.

How did Bernie ‘prove’ he’s a Democrat?

If the eGOP does not allow the primaries to run their course, potentially even selecting Trump, then Trump runs independent and Hillary wins.

It.Is.That.Damn.Simple.
