Just days after his supporters and motorcade were attacked by protesters in Minneapolis at a GOP fundraiser, the Minnesota Republican party has not submitted the names of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and his vice presidential nominee Mike Pence to the secretary of state’s office for the November election, it was reported Wednesday night.

A check of the sample ballot listed at the website for the Minnesota secretary of state shows the tickets of Democrat Farm-Labor Hillary Clinton, Libertarian Gary Johnson, Green Jill Stein, anti-Trumper Evan McMullin and others with Socialist, Marijuana and other parties–but no Donald Trump.

A check of the filing status of federal candidates at the secretary of state website again shows no Donald Trump.

According to the same page, Trump, as a major party candidate, has until August 29 to file.

No great loss in MN. Not like that state was in play. Also nice and devious of Trump's campaign to appear inept and JV. Sucker the Dems into a false sense of security. Kind of like political rope a dope.

Just checked and the local news has an article of why Trump/Pence are not on the ballot. Checking other states to be sure because we can’t trust the GOP establishment.

All those folks who praise Priebus, and say he’s really stepped up.

Look no further than this to rebut the claim.

It’s his job to make sure stuff like this gets done.

He could care less.

As I recall, the vote was very close in Minnesota in 1984, and there were some shenanigans.

Looks like this is a place to check for updates:

What is going on with the GOP? Do they want to lose this election for spite?

That’s an easy question. Have a look at the twitter of the highest ranking elected Republican in the country. Not one word about Hillary Clinton:

Much ado about nothing.

Days left to file, lost wacko state anyway. Who cares?

well if this doesn’t prove once and for all that they all work for the same criminal boss....

GOPe has the hots for the greedy, Marxist bitty.

GOP is dead to me

Me too... After the election I am changing my registration to independent... after 33 years, I am finally done! We were planning to move out of state and I was going to re-register as an independent but out plans have changed and we are staying put for now, I would have already done it, but wanted to vote in the primaries... and now I don't want to mess something up before the general.

As a Minnesotan, I can tell you that Jesse "the body" wasn't a half – bad governor, certainly compared to the comatose jellyfish currently occupying the governors mansion here.

When the Minnesota budget showed a surplus under his watch, he sent refund checks back to the taxpayers.

Just imagine a Democrat in any state doing that.

I will acknowledge Ventura has since gone around the bend, but I would still take him over Hillary or any other Democrat you can send my way.

[BigEdLB]

I am in Mexifornia, so I have to help remotely where I can. MN has a chance to go to Trump, so I put my Two cents in.

Looks like the DNCII party wants the DNCI party to win again.

[greeneyes]

The UNI-Party doesn’t want anyone they have not already anointed, so yes, they prefer to loose the election, if it can’t be one of their chosen ones.

Been that way for a long time.

[Eleutheria5]

There might be some cantankerous fart who backed Ted Cruz in the Minnesota GOP, who is “forgetting” to do these things. Just an educated guess.

[gleeaikin]

Can it be fixed if the deadline for submission has already passed? Boards of Elections are often not that flexible.

[Krosan]

The deadline is August 29th.

[hal ogen]

The gop losers are your Whigs of the 21st century. Screw’em. Losers MAX.

[SaveFerris]

[The GOPe is solidly behind Hillary]

They sure act like it.

Yes, Trump needs to verify he’s on in all 50 states. ASAP

Do a big write-in folks.
