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

Posted on 11/24/2015 9:19:47 AM PST by Hojczyk

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.

It will help Trump. Perhaps this guy is secretly working for The Donald ;-)

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.

...

I wouldn’t agree until he threw in one of his guacamole bowls.

Sadly the state of N.H. has been invaded over the past 10-15 years by large numbers of Masshole Moonbats fleeing the high level of taxation they voted for to keep their state of Welfareistan afloat.

Their mental disorder and Ritalin soaked brains have damaged the state almost beyond repair. Even the Old Man Of The Mountain committed Hari-Kari once he realized what was happening.

This particular moonbat apparently was severaly infected by this wretched mind altering disease.

Socialism/liberalism and their supporters are the crabs on the genitalia of America.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY !!!! :-)

Universal ballot access rules need to be one of the Liberty Amendments.

If Trump runs indie he wins just as big.

GOPe is really stuck. Allow Trump to win the nomination and the GOP is taken over. Prevent Trump from getting the nomination and the GOP dies.

History we are seeing.

Except that Hillary wouldn't win, Trump would...

Of course, just like Perot was a lock to defeat Bill Clinton.

Finally we have someone, Trump, that seems to rock the boat of both Democrats and Republicans. America, to survive, has no choice but to elect Trump as President. All of Washington and many of the States are so damn crooked that they cannot stand a chance that someone will give them hell.

How charming... so that's how the GOPe "pictures' us... what a jerk.

Here' how I picture us... I see us as people who one day wake up, form our own party - - called, "Tea Party" - - and never look back...

Trump draws as much from today’s dems as repubs. He’d win indie.

We’re seeing a realignment in party on both sides. Each side is leaving the leftish heaves of their party. Trump is there mostly.

Either way, if the GOPe pulls this off, they are completely screwed, because nobody even remotely associated with the GOP, or republicans will ever get elected into office again, from the local dog catcher, up to the POTUS. And forget about switching parties GOPe, we know who you are.

Alienate half of the population at your own peril.

Drag a $50 bill through any state legislature and you’ll get plenty of these scum trying to grab it. A $10 bill would probably work too.

Fergus Culling held a Jeb meet and greet at his NH house back in March.

This is an example of the kind of dirty tricks Trump has been alluding to.

Wasn’t he the first(possibly the only)candidate to mention Christian genocide?

That will surely make the evangelicals sit up and take notice, won’t it?

I would think any believer would be searching far and wide for someone that will speak for Christians.

That's precisely the argument that was made for Perot.

A plainspoken private businessman, a pragmatist beholden to neither party, a patriot not a politician, a natural leader with an authentic personality, etc., etc.

Has appeal to independents, Reagan Democrats, as well as Republicans, etc., etc.

It's the same script.

In reality, when someone splits independents, the Democrat ground game wins.

These republicans are beyond stupid. You get rid of Trump this way you create a new party.
