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 Trumpâs 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 ânot in sympathy with the principles of such party.â Republican consultant E. OâBrien Murray is considering filing a complaint with the party.
The local party chairwoman, Adele Malpass, said Thursday that she disapproves of Mr. Trumpâs anti-Muslim proposal but isnât in favor of banishing him from the GOP.
âMr. Trump has made many statements about immigrants, Muslims, women and other topics which are diametrically opposed to the principles of the Republican Party,â she said in a statement to The Wall Street Journal. âHowever, I believe in the power of democracy, and I will let the voters decide Mr. Trumpâs political future.â
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 activitiesâoften not bothering to vote in state and local electionsâ¦
â¦Asked about the proposal to eject him from the party, Mr. Trump said, âGoodbyeâ and hung up the phone. His campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, followed up, saying: âThe notion of kicking the presidential front-runner out of the party is so absurd to me, I canât even comprehend it.â

I actually don’t know if I’m listed as a republican on the voter rolls. I’m going to find out and change it to independent. I wish every Trump supporter in the country would do that all on the same day.
This is likely the last chance at the former the way things are going.
For me it is no Hillary. I want nothing to do with her. My wife can’t stand her either!
I honestly can’t remember. Did they ever expel David Duke?
If your state has a closed primary, as opposed to an open primary, unless you are a registered Republican, you can’t vote for Trump, Cruz, or whoever in your state,s primary.
BOLSHEVIK! Trump's comments may be diametrically opposed to the principles of the GOPe effete, but is right in line with real Conservative Republicans and many many others. Boot Trump and kill the party, hell it would be like one of obamacares death panel decisions, and considering the head of the party is suffering from severe dementia it would probably be for the best.
Kudos. Well Done!
The GOPee has outlived their welcome. Their “Brand” has been branded as totally bogus. Toast they are.
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.
New York Republicans, they clean the democrat toilets
Trump addressing not bring terrorists here? Not ok!
RP -> RiP
With their tongue...
That splashing sound you hear?
That’s G-O-PEEE running down RINO legs at the mention of the “He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named”...
That would be “Trump”.
[HE SAID IT!!! Squeal... SPLASH...]
Musical, ain’t it? :^)
Nope.
Wow. Let the GOPe get rid of Trump. They have also lost 60% of the voters.
Time to go downtown.
