Discussion: Donald Trump Slams Virginia GOP Over Loyalty Pledge For Primary Voters

Are you from Tulsa? I know a poster on that magnificent blog by Pierce who channels people to a scary level.

Thumbelina tweets…

Here’s hoping that his oppositional thumbs spontaneously combust.

What did this guy do before Twitter, the WWE and reality shows?

He must have been one of those business owners who walked around with a megaphone annoying the *ell out of his employees… and many wives. Is his gambling and real estate empire a privately owned entity? Can’t believe any investors or shareholders would put up with this bombastic clown.

But it does suggest why he’s gotten along so well with the building trades. Takes one gangster to appreciate another? Maybe Trump will ask Christie to run with him. It would be a true marriage of corruption and megalomaniac enthusiasm.

Not from Tulsa, but San Francisco, home of latte loving looney liberals.

This needs to be tested in court. Virgina law governs the voting process including the criteria to access a ballot.

I find it hard to believe the GOP controlled Board of Elections has the authority to impose any additional requirements to access a ballot in a state wide election.

Seek an injunction from a friendly county court.

It isn’t smart to tick off the Republican leadership if he expects to win a general election. They pretty much will sit on their hands if Trump is nominated. Republicans have to capture Ohio, Florida and Virginia to beat Clinton. Lose any one of them and it is pretty much over. Trump is tweeting himself into a general election loss.

They are trying to cull out Trump voters who want to cross over to make sure Republicans nominate the weakest general election candidate.

“Money is this man’s God, and to get enough of it he would sacrifice his country.” – OK, so maybe that quote is actually about Benedict Arnold, but still.

Maybe all those GOP voters in Virginia can follow his lead from a few months ago and eventually sign the loyalty pledge.

The Repugnants live by symbolism. every vote they cast in congress is merely symbolic, made to show their constituents they are going to “repeal Obamacare” or some other such BS. They claim to be pro-life, yet it’s only until that life is out of the womb. then they want to totally let it defend for itself. they constantly pound the drums of war, yet most of them have never worn the uniform or allow their offspring to do so. Symbolism is how they function, nothing more. they get elected by symbolism and then cannot run the government they symbolically claim to love.

It’s so unfair that I think Donald should go independent.

Please?

I laughed so hard (again) that my cat ran off, hiding under my bed.

My secret dream is now to obtain Trump’s twitter password and pass it on to you. If you were careful, it would probably take at least a few weeks before they caught on.

Of course, and?

It’s the conservative way!

From their POV it sure beats actual, you know…governing. That’s too much like work (I suppose their patron saint is Maynard G. Krebs)

LOL. Thanks. Are you available if he decides to hire a twiter?

I’m available to be a ghosttweeter…

Hawaii has a similar open primary where you just pick a party ballot when you walk in, but since that’s held in August the presidential primary is conducted separately. To vote as a Democrat you have register as a member of the party, which this year was done via Google Form. I’m guessing the two parties compare notes and block anyone who tries to register for both.
