Trump faces eligibility challenge in New Hampshire
'His views, expressed over decades, are inconsistent with Republican Party'
11.24.2015

The full-court press by Republican operatives to derail Donald Trump’s campaign shows no signs of letting up.

Former New Hampshire Republican Party chairman Fergus Cullen has challenged the billionaire’s primary ballot. A six-page complaint filed Monday with the state’s Ballot Law Commission charges Trump of not presenting evidence, under penalties of perjury, that he is a Republican.

“When Mr. Trump filed his Declaration of Candidacy, he was required to ‘swear under penalties of perjury’ that he is a ‘registered member of the Republican Party.’ To my knowledge, Mr. Trump has not presented evidence to the Secretary of State or this Commission that he is a registered member of the Republican Party,” Cullen wrote. “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 State of Principles and By Laws.”

Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski responded to Cullen’s challenge in a statement to the Union Leader on Monday.

“Number one, Mr. Trump’s views do comport with the Republican Party and number two, from a constitutional stand point, there is such a thing as freedom of speech,” Lewandowski said. “To file such a document against the person who is not only the front-runner, but leading by tremendous margins is outrageous. If anything like this would ever happen Mr. Trump’s supporters would probably riot in the streets of New Hampshire. This is yet another attempt by the failed GOP establishment to keep Mr. Trump off the ballot because they know he is the only one who can Make America Great Again.”

Lewandowski also suggested Cullen was working for Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s campaign. Cullen denied the charge.

Donald Trump Takes a Shot at the RNC: ‘That Wasn’t The Deal’

Nov. 23, 2015, Tré Goins-Phillips

Business magnate and GOP presidential aspirant Donald Trump suggested over Twitter Monday that the Republican National Committee is violating the loyalty pledge the two parties signed in September.

“WSJ reports that GOP getting ready to treat me unfairly — big spending planned against me,” Trump tweeted, tagging the RNC. “That wasn’t the deal!”

Trump’s comments seem to have arisen from a recent Wall Street Journal piece outlining Republican operative Liz Mair’s planned “guerrilla campaign” to “defeat and destroy” the celebrity’s candidacy. It is important to note, however, Mair is not an official RNC staffer, but she is the party’s former online communications director.

This comes the same day the Super PAC behind GOP rival Gov. John Kasich (Ohio) initiated an attack against Trump, airing its first 47-second ad highlighting some of the businessman’s less-than-flattering campaign moments.

According to the WSJ story, this is all part of a strategy to “unite donors from rival camps” against Trump, a marked difference from previous months when the candidates avoided taking direct shots at Republican front-runner.

“The stark reality is that unless something dramatic and unconventional is done, Trump will be the Republican nominee and Hillary Clinton will become president,” a memo released by Mair’s “Trump Card” reads.

When Trump signed the original agreement with the GOP, he insisted he was pledging his “total allegiance” to the Republican Party. The deal required that Trump support the eventual party nominee and promise to not launch a third party run.

However, Trump’s frustrations signal the possibility he might renege on the pledge’s stipulations. Should he run as an Independent candidate, Trump would likely severely split the Republican voter block, nearly ensuring the Democratic nominee wins the White House in 2016.
