Manchester, New Hampshire (CNN)Donald Trump may be the clear Republican front-runner in New Hampshire but at least one member of his party is saying he shouldn't even be on the ballot.

Former state party chairman Fergus Cullen, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump's, on Monday challenged the businessman's status within the party.

"It is my belief that Mr. Trump must present evidence that he is a registered member of the Republican Party because his views, expressed over decades, are inconsistent with the Republican Party platform and the Republican Party of New Hampshire's statement of principles and bylaws," Cullen said in a letter of complaint to the New Hampshire Ballot Law Commission.

In order to be on the ballot in New Hampshire candidates must be a registered member of either the Democrat or Republican party.

On November 4th Trump filed paperwork at the New Hampshire State House to appear on the ballot as a Republican. New York voter information shows that Trump is currently registered in the state as a Republican.

And where is the challenge to Sanders?

He’s a known registered independent.

Has he signed on with the Dems yet?

..
These whiny bit¢¥es are simply trying to start a rumor to cast doubt.

Did anyone in New Hampshire challenge Romney’s positions with regards to the republican party platform in 2012? He’s the one who left the party over Reagan and acted counter to the platform on numerous occasions. If they didn’t challenge him, they should ask this clown to stay quiet now.

It wouldn’t be credible to say Sanders’ socialism is out-of-step with the Democrat party.

Most Republicans in the US Senate are inconsistent with the Party platform (and plenty in the House too).

Why doesn’t that ruffle any feathers?

That’s exactly why we need Trump. These people are public SERVANTS, they’re nothing but messenger boys hired by the public and somehow the public has gotten into this mentality that they are royalty when they are not. They’re reps so every person in this country doesn’t have to go to Washington to vote 9 zillion times a year. We need a whole new set of laws, term limits across the board, no freakin’ Ted Kennedys sitting in Congress for 52 years, absolute hardcore regulations on income. This is not a money making operation for them where insider trading is legal, where a punk like Al Gore can make hundreds of millions on green scams. The very thing this country rebelled against, we now got a zillion King Georges and Trump is the very thing to blow it all apart.

This is from the article as well

"Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said in a statement Monday night that Cullen is aligned with rival GOP candidate John Kasich. The two campaigns have been engaged in a war of words over the last week."

Go figure.

So, Trump is listed as registered Republican in New York. This idiot can’t read? Rather embarrassing.

The more I see news about Kasich, the less I like him. This guy expanded Obamacare in Ohio. And added Medicaid expenditures. He got lucky Ohio discovered oil via fracking.

Don’t forget his “payday job” with Lehman after leaving Washington.

He is a GOPe snake and is now the designated hit-man to try and hurt Trump.
