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.

Yeah, but is he a Naturally Born Citizen?

Would someone born by Cesarean be considered "natural born?"

The GOPe can go back to servicing each other as they have done for years. Meanwhile, the grownups will “Make America Great Again” in spite of the GOPe and RINO wimps.

Well, Mr. Fergus Cullen ...

Please go commit an unnatural act with yourself.

That is all.

A war between Trump and Kasich? Is that like the war between the US and Grenada?

This is the real fear. If a true outcaste is elected president he is King of the repuglican party and can hire and fire as he wishes. We MUST elect someone like Trump to clean house as W never did.

I’m no Trump supporter, but Fergus Cullen is an idiot and definitely NOT a Republican.

Cullen is a Kasich supporter. Which is to say he’s getting a check from the Kasich campaign, not that he really believes anything he’s saying. The Kasich campaign is in the delusional candidates group.

All we ever heard about was THE BIG TENT. I guess it gets smaller when you want to really come inside.

"The challenge is going to fail."

As tried-and-true lackey of Jeb "El Wimpo" Bush, Fergus can't help but fail.

Would if I could, but don't know it. I live in Louisiana, but he is certainly emblematic of what is wrong with the party establishment who are tearing the GOP apart.

Best I can do is direct you here to a website he started, called Americans By Choice. In the upper right hand corner is a contact button.

Good luck, and keep us informed as to what transpires Remember though to tell him firmly, but politely that he is part of the problem and is adding in the destruction of the Republican Party. That if that is his goal, keep it up. If, however, he wants to make the party great again, then he needs to listen to the party faithful. They are the ones that will make or break the Party. Not the stupid people who have taken over as leaders within the party. Anyway, I know you will do a good job. Go get him!!!
