Critics of Republican presidential primary front-runner and billionaire Donald Trump, not having encountered his type of self-reliant, self-funded, brash and blunt candidacy, have taken to lobbing challenges to his ballot access to oppose him. Unsuccessfully, so far. But analysts do point out that getting the GOP nomination actually is a laborious process of lining up dozens, then hundreds, then thousands of delegates who are party faithful, and they wonder if the earthquake-generating candidate can establish the foot soldier network to do that.
One of the complaints to Trump's ballot status happened in New Hampshire, where a former state Republican Party executive, Fergus Cullen, claimed Trump should not be allowed on the GOP ballot for several reasons, including that Trump has a history of being a Democrat and independent, and Trump's views, "expressed over decades, are inconsistent with the Republican Party platform and the Republican Party of New Hampshire’s Statement of Principles and By Laws."
A report in WMUR explained that after a hearing "that lasted two minutes, the five-member commission voted unanimously that the challenge filed by Fergus Cullen was without merit."
New Hampshire Ballot Commission Chairman Brad Cook described Cullen's challenge as "grandstanding of the first order, and I didn't appreciate it."
"It was trying to make an editorial statement," he said. "The commission – regardless of what anybody thinks of the merits or demerits, or the philosophy or anything about a candidate – our sole role is to figure out if a filing was legal and accurate."

I have no doubt that Trump is lining up lawyers with election experience as we speak. If the uniparty tries to pull a fast one he will slap them down like the bisches they are!
sleazy to try and do this to Trump.

It’s gotta be a little rough for Trump - having to fight Democrats, the MSM, AND Republicans... not the easiest row to hoe...
People are fed up in this country....the thugs trying to steal elections had better be VERY careful....many are close to the tipping point and it will NOT end well if the elites continue their current course.
The man lives for the fight. It’s amazing to watch.
It does seem that way...
