[2011] Donald Trump did not vote in a primary election for 21 years (from 2011)
Daily Mail UK ^ | April 25, 2011

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.

.. Trump is anti-establishment ...

And for single-payer healthcare. And tariffs. And late-term abortion 16 years ago.

You know, you’re such a moron it’s pathetic.

If you want to believe that, go right ahead. Any little fantasy you have in your Glenn-Beck-Cruz mind.

But first, learn to type coherently when you’re TDS’ing.

It will help you - or probably not.

[(so why does he interested now?)]

When you can answer this, and snatch the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to go to the brokered GOP Establishment-rigged convention.

I expect more meltdowns like your LibertyTreeSurgeon who hit the door, because Teddy ain’t getting 95% of the remaining delegates.

I was hoping for an intelligent and coherent response.

Sorry I bothered you. You can go back to the Trump Kool-Aid.

All crazy stuff aside, why does the establishment hate Trump?

Actually, it is the straight truth. In NY it is always decided by the time we have a primary. LOOK IT UP. With the internet it is pretty easy you know.

Just try. You can probably do it. Get back to me if it is too hard and I will do it for you and give you all the links. I know some people who seem capable are still struggling with search engines. I promise to help you.

It’s Beet Juice with a slice of watermelon.

Thanks for your concern of my dietary intake.

I am a Cruz supporter, I say stay out Brits.

Trump deserves a vetting by Americans.

GO USA!

I prefer you help me with those Internet link thingies on all the donations Mr. Trump made to democrats like Schuemer, Rangel, Pelosi, Cuomo, Reid, Weiner, and others.

He has been all over the political spectrum and managed to garner 10,000,000,000 out of it.

He does what he wants now. He isn’t kissing ass or taking money.

Why does the establishment hate him?

Answer it or go away.

Because he’s a complete wild card. A track record all over the place. The things he’s said over the past 9 months are great. The things he said a few years ago scare the crap out of me.
