Donald Trump blasts Va. GOP for loyalty pledge
The Republican Party of Virginia says it’s standard procedure to ensure only Republican voters pick the Republican nominee.

“Serious organizing activities are under way on behalf of Trump, ” said Rochester-area Assemblyman Bill Nojay, a Paladino ally who predicted that many prominent upstate Republicans would join the effort.
People might have different opinions about Donald Trump, but according to an annual survey published Monday by Gallup, the business mogul is the third most admired man in the United States in 2015.
The state Republican party didn’t respond to The Washington Post, but a statement from earlier in the month by executive director John Findlay said the plan was “a reasonable threshold” that wasn’t aimed to hurt any candidate or voter group.
The consensus among most top Republicans is that Iowa looks more and more like a Ted Cruz state.
Since his campaign launch on June 16, Trump has dominated the news cycle and maintained his lead nationally over his Republican rivals.
“When the ship is in peril, you only care about one thing: Who can get us through the storm?” he continued.
Trump sees this as an attempt to keep his voters out of the primary, and to some extent he’s correct.
On the other hand, it’s entirely understandable that the state GOP in Virginia is trying to force an oath of fealty on its primary voters.
“We have got to get out and vote, remember that, folks, no matter what’s going on in your life”, Trump said in an hour-long speech to roughly 1,000 people at a rally in a middle school gymnasium in Nashua”. The intention is to discourage mischief – party officials don’t want their opponents interfering in their primaries with insincere motives – without changing state law and overhauling the voter-registration process. The Louisiana electorate is typically made up of somewhere between 55 and 60 percent Republican voters, but only 28 percent of it is actual registered Republicans.
In an editorial also written by McQuaid, the Union Leader endorsed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for president last month, who has been polling higher in New Hampshire than other parts of the country. The GOP presidential candidate even went as far as to accuse the party of trying to disallow independent voters.
“If Trump pours big bucks into an ad campaign-and no budget has been set-he could again confound the prognosticators”, Kurtz said.
