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.

Yes you can, No it has to be printed and legible.
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 and the Clinton campaign.
Write in’s don’t win.
To easy to throw out.
Democrats can't vote in the Republican primary, but undeclared liberals can. Hopefully they will head for the Democratic ballots, but more likely they will head for the Republican ballots. Allowing undeclared voters to participate in primaries is a bad idea.
Sour grapes from the silver spoon in the mouth GOPe crowd. They now very well how the NH vote is going to go. Trumpet the results!
My comment was not aimed at registered Democrats voting in the GOP primary so much as it was aimed at Democrats posing as independents voting in the GOP primary.
Your turn, Rinse.
I guess I’ll just vote for Hillary should the GOP insert their man via primary tampering. That should help move us closer to CWII.
Yes. The RNC thought that it would only go one way.
As it turns out, when they break it, Trump is no longer going to uphold an agreement he made in good faith that they broke.
And good for him.
I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing.
The GOPe want Hillary to win.
Truer words, my friend.
About one third of voters are undeclared, and yes the liberals will take Republican ballots to try and sway the outcome of the primary.
Which helps explain how Jaun McCain romped to an easy win after running a campaign on life support up until New Hampshire . . .
