Donald Trump's own children didn't register to vote in N.Y. primary
Chicago Tribune ^ | 4/11/16 | Jenna Johnson

Here's Donald Trump's latest organizing embarrassment: Two of his adult children did not know they had to register as Republicans more than six months ago to vote in New York's April 19 Republican primary.

"They were, you know, unaware of the rules, and they didn't register in time, so they feel very, very guilty -- they feel very guilty," Trump said during a telephone interview with Fox News' "Fox and Friends" on Monday morning.

One of the hosts commented: "Oops."

Trump said that he understands the mistake and that it's "fine" that his children Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump, who are not affiliated with a political party, did not register as Republicans in time to participate in the upcoming primary -- although he joked that he might cut off their allowances.

The rich support their selected candidate with monetary contributions not ballots. And they make sure to contribute equally to both sides unless one side is favored over the other.

This year the pubbies are the favored ones.

“They were unaware of the rules...” Sounds familiar.

Cruz’s kids are Canadian citizens so they will get to vote in the US and Canadian elections.

The optics aren’t near as bad as Colorado is for Cruz ...the GOP just threw swing-state Colorado away in the General ...

Do you realze how many Trumpsters are not registered? When they run into problems at the polling place they accuse others of cheating.

Maybe we need to go back to literacy tests for the Trumpsters. The ignorance of how the game is played should be so embarassing to them that they might be better off to hide.

It was a voterless victory ...i’ll take the word of the Trump delegates that got shafted, over any Cruz-bot or GOPe shill ... no matter what you, Levin, Beck , Limbaugh , or the GOPe say , this won’t sit well with the electorate ...Cruz’s campaign just ended and Colorado just got thrown into the DIM column ...great work !

Do you realize how many people that despise politics are coming out to vote for the first time in years because of Trump. No you don’t, because you are a smug little turd just like your ratfaced loser candidate.

I question that myself.

It appears in different states, the rules are totally different. In some states you can be a democrat for years, then 'switch' to republican the day of the vote. We've all read news stories about them doing so.

If there is one thing that we should have a federal(national) uniformity on, it should be the election process for President.

But, we do not.

Is it possible the two just couldn’t bear to be a “Republican” and kept putting off the registration change?
