‘Suicidal Mistake’ for Virginia GOP to Require Voter ‘Statement of Affiliation’
“BAD!” Trump wrote on Twitter.

Trump supporters are pushing the state Republican party to reconsider the requirement, but so far there is no indication that party leaders are moving in that direction.
Previously, he has indicated he will not stand as an independent if he does not get the Republican nomination; but who can now rule that out as the man changes his position on issues daily, if not more frequently.
The challenge for the Republican Party is picking a nominee without suffering self-inflicted wounds on a vitriolic campaign that will hobble the eventual candidate in the presidential ballot in 315 days.
Trump has wavered on his commitment to the party, but as of now, has said he wouldn’t run as an Independent and at the most recent debate, pledged that he’s committed to the Republican Party.
He said the requirement does not target a particular candidate or group of voters.
Given where Trump has brought – and may yet bring – his party in the coming months, the prospect of another President Clinton driving past his newly opened hotel in her inaugural parade may be very real.
The singer used a photo of Muslims praying outside of the Trump Tower in New York City, and voiced his personal offense about Trump’s comments against the religious community. He views the move as a “suicidal mistake” since Virginia GOP is in a desperate need for fresh voters. Officials said that pledge was “significantly more detailed” that the current version, and added that the 2000 primary attracted record participation, with more than 660,000 voters casting ballots.
The latest outburst by Mr Trump against Democrat and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton was labelled vulgar, even as his supporters cheered him on.
Whitbeck, along with Findlay, were not discussing the current situation with Trump with the press, though David D’Onofrio, the state party’s communications director, told DailyMail.com that ‘nothing had changed’.
In both 2008 and 2012, the state GOP’s governing body approved a loyalty pledge though ditched it before the primaries, according to the Times-Dispatch.
Analysts believe some members of Trump’s coalition of disgruntled conservatives, disaffected Democrats and the politically unaligned might stay home rather than sign the statement.

After all, the thesis goes, if the state’s GOP voters are going to deliver an important primary victory to Trump, maybe the state should no longer be trusted to have an advantage other states might handle more responsibly.
