Trump's kids didn't register in time to vote for their dad in NY
The Hill ^ | 04/11/2016 | Neetzan Zimmerman

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump may hold a commanding lead over his GOP rivals in the New York primary, but there are at least two state residents who won't be voting for him: His son and daughter.

It was revealed Monday morning on Fox News that both Eric and Ivanka Trump failed to register in time to vote for their dad in the Empire State's April 19 primary.

"Ivanka and Eric Trump unable to register because of the rules," the real estate mogul was told on "Fox & Friends." "Are the rules in New York unfair as well?"

"No. They had a longtime register and they were unaware of the rules, and they didn't register in time," Trump responded. "So they feel very, very guilty."

"I think they have to register a year in advance, and they didn't," he added, "so Eric and Ivanka, I guess, won't be voting."

Never voted in the NYS primaries or knew how they worked until Hillary was running for the Senate....and I'm over 70. I was unaffiliated up until that point.

Found out I was too late to register as a Republican for the Primary.

So that's how I learned about primaries.

I'm sure the kids feel bad. But the loyalty is there and they're making it up 1000 times over.

Yes, while the Trump campaign continues to trip over its own feet, please retreat to your poll safe space.

Me......I do not want Ted Cruz to get one vote in the state of NEW YORK. I cannot believe any sane New York voter would cast a vote for this “slime” of a human being, Ted Cruz!!! This Ted Cruz, guy, folks is a sleazy human being from head to toe!!! Not one ounce of humility, charisma, charm or warmth!!! A total “ZERO” & “Hater”!!! Would make a lousy POTUS...across the board!!!

You have to be a registered Republican by March 25 to vote in the Republican primary. Not exactly a year in advance.

More of those blasted republican party primary rules.... sheesh... someone ought to write all those down or something so Trumpy can understand them.....

It’s a ridiculous rule considering that a new registration is effective in less than 30 days before the primary.

Cruzers would be well advised to focus on their own campaign now. TPA Teddy is about to get hammered in 6 states. Nothing says winner in the general like 3rd place finishes in both NY & battleground state PA. LOL.

Kids are as clueless about the rules as dear old dad. I’m shocked.

God Damn Ted Cruz figured out how to disenfranchise ordinary working people. The man is a monster I tell you a monster.

To you Trumpkins , this is sarcasm.

They are registered independents so the can’t vote in the primary. They can vote in the general election.

If the GOP steals this nomination from Trump Mr GG2 and I will be registering independent.

Many of us don't live on FR, so we might not have seen it.

True. If you don't post 100 times a day, you are a "Zombie Troll".

At this point, there is not much more than trolling and harassment (in both directions) here on FR.

No use in posting.

Well what I really believe is that Trump is more than likely going to be the GOP nominee and all these hail Mary tactics by Cruz are just that. Desperation antics. He has no chance to win and that is going to become evident April 26th when he hits the mathematical wall.

Old news...Discussed extensively yesterday, but thanks for re-posting again. Gotta get that Trump bashing in from the get go this morning.../s

LOL. Funny. But, FReepers can post the same stories about Cruz any time, right?

BTW, this speaks to lack of awareness the Trump campaign has about rules. They simply don't care about them.

“Just because DONEald says something don’t make it factual.”

Indeed and usually about 5 minutes of googling is all it takes to reveals his lies. That tells me Trump supporters are either too gullible to think he might be lying or too lazy to lift a finger to check...

The Rump should have run as a Democrat. Then, his kids wouldn’t have this problem. LOL.

Imagine the humiliation of Eric and Ivanka who cannot very well deny being offspring of the whiny gossipmonger The Donald. NONE of the respectable, civilized friends who they have cultivated as their friends and associates have any use for the Manhattan Motormouth. They cannot show their faces in polite society through no fault of their own.

If they voted in the NY GOP primary, everyone would assume that they voted for The Donald, compounding their humiliation by directly associating themselves with The Donald's whining and low rent campaign.

They decided to do the easy thing and NOT register as Republicans. That way they could not vote for him and he could have an opportunity to rant and rave that some long dead legislature had conspired against him and The Wall by passing a law (maybe in 1920 or earlier) requiring GOP primary voters to be registered in the GOP.

Most of the “mistresses” alleged will be described as unidentified space aliens who are the advance guard of a Klingon or Romulan takeover of the USA. The National Enquire will print so it must be so.
