New York Republican Leaders Want Trump Banished from Party – Trump Responds

New York Republican leaders are discussing the possibility of banishing Donald Trump from the party… despite the fact that he is the current GOP front-runner.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s call to ban Muslim immigrants is straining his already shaky relationship with the Republican establishment in his home state of New York.

Joe Lhota, the 2013 GOP mayoral candidate, is calling on the Manhattan Republican Party to kick him out, relying on an obscure election law that allows a local chair to cast out a voter “not in sympathy with the principles of such party.” Republican consultant E. O’Brien Murray is considering filing a complaint with the party.

The local party chairwoman, Adele Malpass, said Thursday that she disapproves of Mr. Trump’s anti-Muslim proposal but isn’t in favor of banishing him from the GOP.

“Mr. Trump has made many statements about immigrants, Muslims, women and other topics which are diametrically opposed to the principles of the Republican Party,” she said in a statement to The Wall Street Journal. “However, I believe in the power of democracy, and I will let the voters decide Mr. Trump’s political future.”

New York Republicans, outnumbered in a blue state, point to other transgressions: Mr. Trump has given more money to local Democrats than Republicans, gave up his GOP affiliation twice, and rarely engaged in party activities—often not bothering to vote in state and local elections…

…Asked about the proposal to eject him from the party, Mr. Trump said, “Goodbye” and hung up the phone. His campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, followed up, saying: “The notion of kicking the presidential front-runner out of the party is so absurd to me, I can’t even comprehend it.”

True, while shooting themselves in both feet. Not easily done.

We are God-fearing, Constitution-loving, gun-clinging, hard-working, responsibility-accepting, country-defending, baby-protecting *conservatives*. Once upon a time, that made us Republicans too. Times are a changing.

> cast out a voter not in sympathy with the principles of such party

Trump’s proposal is entirely within the law. Is the Republican Party not in sympathy with the law? Silly question.

The GOP pulls this on Trump if he wins fair and square, I will stay home. I don’t care who the nominee is.

Whomever gets it after they steal it from Trump will be nothing but an accomplice as far as I’m concerned.

[Ray76]

They put so much effort into it too.

The Manhattan Republican Party ?

Do they hold their meetings in the back of a Volkswagon ?

[dragnet2]

Republican leaders? The same well connected insiders who’ve aided and abetted the Democrats and the decline of America?

Got it.

The problem with GOPe leadership is they have been in positions of power so long and have been acknowledged by the LMSM so loudly that they, the GOPe, believe that it is “their party”. WE, the undermichen, have nothing to offer but our pathetic votes.

Now that we have found someone who speaks for us and to us they, the GOPe, are having a whole series of temper tantrums. Think of your senile maiden aunt trying to run the family’s Christmas dinner.

If only the Republican party could show this much anger against Obama and the Democratic Party.....

[lu shissler]

These eastern RINOs are going to be finding out that those of us in the West are going to have a whole bunch more to say about this election. You had better leave the Donald alone!! Good bye establishment.

I bet the NY Repubs haven’t condemned the sleezy practice by the NRCC and NRSC of targeting Trump supporters by scamming them into thinking they are buying Trump gear to support him when not ONE CENT actually goes to the Trump campaign? THAT’s the leadership of the GOP house and senate. SCAMMERS and liars.

It works this way. You take a prez poll on Facebook, etc. and vote for Trump, then their emails start trying to sell you their Chinese made junk to hurt the Trump campaign. I got another from the NRSC today which reads: from Zach ... info@nrsc.org
