He's talking about running the country, but Donald Trump's record on voting in elections, or rather the lack of it, is coming under fire.
The New York City Board of Elections says Mr Trump did not vote in any primary elections for 21 years.
The registered Republican, who has been touting himself as a prospective presidential candidate, would first need to get GOP voters to nominate him in a primary - a process in which official records show Trump repeatedly failed to participate in.
Mr Trump became a Democrat in 2001, and documents show he ignored that party's primaries as well, missing the 2001 and 2005 primaries for mayor.
In 2002, not only did Mr Trump miss the Democratic primaries for statewide offices, but records show he also skipped the general election, the AP reports.
There is also no evidence that Trump voted in the presidential primary between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, even though he voiced support for Mr Obama after Mrs Clinton took New York State.

You’ve had too much of the Trump Kool-Aid.
... You are just being obnoxious at this point ...
Just challenging Trumpsters getting them ready for the Clinton war room.
Thank you for the large blue font.
Kool Aid tastes a lot better than the bull excrement being served by the Cruz camp.
Ha. This is just twiddle winks. Just wait for the Clinton war room to go after the donald. Buckle up Mr. Trump and all you Trumpettes.
Not really
Now your boys dog Glenn beck says that Cruz is the only candidate who represents GOP values
In New York, it hasn’t mattered a lot.
If you’re a democrat, it doesn’t matter. The democrat is going to win.
If you’re a republican, it doesn’t matter. The democrat is going to win.
>>The New York City Board of Elections says Mr Trump did not vote in any primary elections for 21 years.
In hindsight that seems pretty smart. The GOP has been explaining to us for the past month that our pathetic little votes mean nothing to them because they “own” the nomination and it is theirs to bestow as they see fit.
Your analogy is retarded. Not voting in a primary for 10 years means missing 2 votes, which is hardly equal to a physician skipping medical school. And while we’re on the subject of doctors, maybe you should see someone for your TDS. You’ve got a pretty severe case.
>>How many of you Trumpsters out there were registered democrats in 2001 like Mr. Trump, which presumes you voted for Algore in 2000?
I was a Republican in 2000, as I have always been.
But I was not a Christian in 2000. Since a change of heart is not possible in your worldview, does that mean that I cannot be a Christian now?
This is my first primary voting in NY. I’m 47.
Better late than never.
Besides, he’s running as an outsider. It doesn’t really matter if he voted in primaries before or not.
What has that gotten us through the years?
“Mr Trump said: ‘I voted in every general election … You’re going to pay a big price because you’re wrong ... I have records that I voted and so does the Board of Elections … I signed in at every election.’”
I don’t think that Donald Trump purposely would lie about having voted in every general election when the Board of Elections’ records show otherwise. There’s an innocent explanation here: Donald Trump thinks that only presidential elections are “general elections,” so that the fact that he skipped mid-term elections (in which not only U.S. Representatives and (usually) U.S. Senators, but also the NY governor and members of the state senate and state assembly, are elected) is immaterial to him. Similarly, he does not appear to know what the word “proliferation” means, or at least limits its denotation to “spread to countries to which I don’t want it to spread.”
“’When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.’”
Trump cares now, because the GOP is eating its own. Trump will save America from the liberal commie agenda. Lord knows the GOP can’t do it.
Why don’t you provide links for Cruzs accomplishments since he has been a senator? That won’t take you very long at all, will it?
He’s probably never made a sandwich for himself, either – but I would not consider that to be breaking news.
Seriously. Why do we bother with primaries?
Just today ...

I didn’t put this in breaking news.
I share your disdain for the GOP, but Mr. Trump has a choppy record on a number of issues that need to be weighed against Sen. Cruz. He also needs to unify republicans if he’s the nominee and his 3rd grade attacks make that almost impossible.
Hello President Hillary!
