GOPe's new attack front on Donald Trump. Keep him off the New Hampshire primary ballot.
11/24/2015 A former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party wants Donald Trump off the state’s GOP presidential primary ballot.
Fergus Cullen filed a formal complaint Monday challenging Trump’s eligibility to appear on the ballot as a Republican due to his “inconsistent views” and “his purpose to sabotage the Republican 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 wrote in a 6 page manifesto outlining every one of what he says are Trump’s flip-flops dating back to 1999. On Tuesday, New Hampshire’s five-member Ballot Law Commission will convene to rule on the “questions of eligibility” and determine whether Cullen’s claims are legitimate http://www.redstate.com/2015/11/24/gop-establishment-trying-elect-donald-trump/ Did they file to keep Romney off the ballot for flip-flopping? How about Christie? guns Kasich? guns Rubio? illegals |

Sure so why complain when someone tries to stop Trump in a primary? They weren't just trying to stop Trump in a primary, they were trying to keep him off primary ballots and continue to do so. NC was another state where GOPe was up to shenanigans. In North Carolina, Republican Party officials are considering a similar move, and are already in talks with lawyers about how best to implement it.
The topic recently came up during a meeting of state party staffers and is expected to be discussed more extensively on conference calls during the coming weeks. One state party official said a lawyer would soon be drafting language for a provision asking each candidate to support the nominee. A final decision is expected to be made by the party next month ahead of the Oct 1. deadline. “Everything is on the table,” the official said. In both states, organizers said, the goal was the same — to compel Trump, who has cultivated a passionate following of conservative supporters, into offering his full support to the party. |

Not surprisingly, Mr. Cullen hosted a house party so people could mingle with Jeb Bush on his first campaign trip to New Hampshire.

New Day for America, the pro-Kasich Super PAC that plans on spending $2.5 million to target Trump, sent out a release shortly thereafter, applauding Cullen's efforts. "Like many other Republicans, we question Donald Trump's conservative credentials and are happy to support Mr. Cullen's efforts to challenge Trump's standing on the New Hampshire Republican primary ballot," said New Day For America spokesperson Connie Wehrkamp. Cullen told CBS News he filed the complaint on his own, saying he is uncommitted but "likes Kasich" and has been in touch with his Super PAC. |

I still have no idea who I'm voting for, and I certainly don't trust Trump all that much, but only because I distrust politicians. That makes him about as trustworthy as anyone else the GOP has to offer in my eyes. Trump sure has balls, enough to make up for the whole neutered and incompetent GOP. The Democrats have balls. They don't hold back. They're a bunch of authoritarian bastards, but they have balls. When I hear most GOPe types speak, I picture them cowering in fear of their masters, the Democrats, only to find a little backbone when they're screwing me and mine over.
I'll vote for the candidate of my choice, and if the GOP wants to expend more effort denying me a choice than they do fighting a menace to our freedoms, then how are they any better than Hillary Clinton? Hell, what good are they anyway? They're a fucking speedbump for the Democrats... roadkill that reincarnates and throws itself down in front of the truck again. Based on their behavior when they've had a relatively strong hand, they've got to be cowards, incompetent, or self-serving backstabbers. Take your choice. If people think that we get candidates like McCain and Kerry because their the best the GOP has to offer, then I'm starting to think that our Republic is lost. I believe that that's the best the Establishment wants to offer, and backroom threats and deals keep true patriots from seeing the light of day as candidates, especially after what they're doing to Trump publicly. If the GOPe is happy being the marginalized party, just so long as they keep the perks, then those morons need to remember that when real tyranny takes hold, assisted by their actions, they'll be getting a bullet to the head as soon as their usefulness disappears. "Wait! Wait! We're your friends!!" |

People have to remember that the Tea Party started in 2009 as opposition to Obama's bailouts. I believe that Rick Santelli used the words "Tea Party" on TV in a call to protest the bailouts.
The movement was an outgrowth of the Republican party's base's opposition to Bush's push for amnesty and the bank bailouts. The party pushed hard for both of those, lost the former but was successful with the latter (after temporarily losing). It became pretty clear after the bank bailouts that the party establishment was going to fight the base. It has been argued that the Republican party supported Obama's use of the IRS to go after the Tea Party: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ3S3o6zvtc |

Republican donors, operative fueling new anti-Trump ad blitz Republican donors with links to several presidential candidates – as well as a prominent GOP operative – are pooling their resources in a new effort to go after Donald Trump and keep the party’s presidential front-runner from winning the nomination. The most recent bid is a reported “guerrilla campaign” led by a group called Trump Card LLC and run by Liz Mair, former communications official for the Republican National Committee. The group’s goal, according to The Wall Street Journal, is to collect money from anonymous donors to “defeat and destroy” Trump, who has essentially led the GOP presidential field since declaring his candidacy this summer... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/11/24/republican-donors-operative-fueling-new-anti-trump-ad-blitz.html?intcmp=hpbt2 I wonder how many anonymous donors are Democrats.

John Kasich for president, A New Day for America, was aware that he would be filing the complaint before he did so and is "on the same page” believing that Trump is not a true Republican.” Cullen, however, said he is not supporting Kasich, or any candidate, for president at the moment. No, the "they" was supposed to be typed "the", but I guess you couldn't see that, just like you can't see shenanigans being pulled by the GOPe. |

Trump IS and always has been a fucking Democrat! Why can't you idiots grasp this? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Trump IS and always has been a fucking Democrat! Why can't you idiots grasp this? There seems to be a little discrepancy in that since he has been a registered Republican previously. The darling of the republican party Ben Carson has been a republican since November 2014. Now I could provide you with countless republicans who were previously democrats and a good number of democrats which were previously republicans. But obviously you know many of them yourself. * JULY 1987: Trump registers for the first time from his Fifth Avenue penthouse. The real estate developer, 41 at the time, reports having previously been registered from his boyhood home in Queens (though his prior party affiliation is unclear). Trump enrolls as a REPUBLICAN.
* OCTOBER 1999: Trump dumps the GOP and enrolls as a member of the INDEPENDENCE PARTY. * AUGUST 2001: Trump enrolls as a DEMOCRAT. * SEPTEMBER 2009: After eight years as a Democrat, Trump returns to the REPUBLICAN PARTY. * DECEMBER 2011: On his registration form, “The Apprentice” star checks off the box marked “I DO NOT WISH TO ENROLL IN A PARTY.” * APRIL 2012: Trump registers as a REPUBLICAN. Prospective First Lady Melania Trump, 45, the Slovenian immigrant, a former model, first registered to vote in October 2006 and enrolled as a Republican, records show. Trump, who married The Donald in January 2005, has not changed her registration during subsequent years. There are a number of states where you register to vote, period. You have no ability to register with a party affiliation. I live in one of them. |

Just think what it would be like if the GOPe fought Democrats as hard as they fight conservatives.

Anyone notice that much of the most rabid anti-Trump sentiment here comes from places like New York, Australia, and Canada where their votes don't count for anything in the upcoming Presidential election?
Frustration at being completely politically powerless has created an all consuming need to vote vicariously through others. |

These ads would benefit Cruz but here you are again, carrying Trump's water. Let me know when you accept responsibility for Trump's years of supporting the Clintons Please, please tell me you don't honestly believe that if Trump weren't in the race, the RINOs wouldn't attack Cruz with the same fervor. |

Frustration at being completely politically powerless has created an all consuming need to vote vicariously through others. So their political analysis is somehow less valid? Ironic coming from someone where the country was exposed to the "hanging chad" |

There is the matter of the deal Trump and the RNC made when he signed the "support the nominee" agreement. Should the RNC honor their word in that agreement? Seems simple enough to me. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The American people deserve a variety of candidate choices when voting if they can't field candidates that resonate with the American people, shame on them. |

The People of 47 States support sore loser legislation. If a candidate asks for the votes of a party's base, they expect all the candidates to support the final nominee. It's simple logic. |

I'm a Cruz guy, but if they screw Trump the GOP is dead to me as a matter of principle (besides, it's not like they won't dick Cruz over if they get away with torpedoing Trump).
