He's on Facebook, why not drop him a note? :)

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.â€
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.

The current GOPe is royally screwed.
I’m not a Trump supporter, not even close, but I would be a liar if I said I don’t take some satisfaction from the above fact.
Having said that, I believe it to be a dead certainty that any “victory” over the GOP establishment that empowers Donald Trump will be a pyrrhic victory for anti-GOPe forces.
It’ll be “new boss same as the old boss.” Only worse.
I was here for Perot too.
Trump isn’t splitting indies he’s winning them.
Perot had zero dem draw. Trump has as much dem as repub as realignment takes place. Don’t get me wrong, I hope for him to reman in the party. But his indie and dem draw is precisely why GOP does not want him to run indie. It would diminish the Republican Party to have him run indie and win.
GOPe is really stuck. They’ll have to either let gope die or try to keep it alive as Trump and Cruz take the party over.
In an election or two,the gope and lib dems will be one party and Trump Cruz another.... Made of America loving traditionalists (yellow dogs if you remember them and conservatives).
I’m telling ya a realignment is taking place.
Not quite. Perot was an unwilling bride. Trump is a Norman conqueror.
PING
They are really going after Trump because they know he can win. I believe Trump will succeed and defeat them!
All you see happening today, including polls, are part of the plan to make sure a GOPe candidate wins in the end.
Watching it play out should be interesting and depressing for about everyone.
[[Syrians Are Coming Anyway, Crap??]]
And that’s EXACTLY what it was too- First though he ‘scolded’ Americans for opposing Syrians- then He went on to throw it in our faces that even though EVERYONE thinks it’s a bad idea- He IS going to bring them in
I have never in my life witnessed a president who has had more contempt for the great people o this nation than this president
He’s importing the very people who ARE going to wage war against us- He’s embedding them amongst us even now as we speak
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.
________________________________
In reality, Perot never had the same support as Trump enjoys - it was all smoke and mirrors put on by the MSM (sort of like they do with baby bush now).
Perot was in the race only to bring down Bush - whom he hated.
This guy, Fergus Cullin, is a Jeb minion.
Cullen recently hosted Trump rival John Kasich at a house party in New Hampshire, and the super PAC supporting the Ohio governor, New Day for America, sent out a statement voicing support for Cullen’s actions Monday night. The two campaigns have been engaged in a war of words over the last week.
Then the Jeb campaign and the Kasich campaign got together?
Write-in is all it takes.
The problems in NH are because of the disconnect between the honchos and the local parties and a lack of local organization. I am a Jeremiah, a voice calling in the wilderness.
Fergus Cullen is the founder of Americans By Choice, a national advocacy group supporting immigration reform that makes it easier for the world’s most talented and motivated people to live and work in America, create jobs here, and contribute to a growing American economy.
Fergus is a graduate of Yale College (BA, History, 1994), and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government (Masters in Public Administration, 2002).

N.H. GOP honcho: Ted Cruz 'will not darken our doorstep'
Former New Hampshire GOP Chairman Fergus Cullen is preparing to host a meet-and-greet at his Granite State home for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush - but said firebrand Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz represents "everything that is wrong with the Republican Party."
He's trying to keep Trump off the ticket because Trump's not a RINO.
I already told him what I thought of him years ago.
You can’t fix stupid.
Stupid party “leadership”. Republicans voters are ready to string up these f#kng sniveling bastards, cut their % off, and leave their wretched carcasses to rot. — Just try it. You will regret it.
Hell, if they do this I’ll vote for Trump in the primary and general instead of Cruz.
Does NH have a write-in provision on their ballots? Can their judges of elections read cursive?
