When it comes to voting, Donald Trump must be hoping Americans will do as he says, and not as he does.
Records reviewed by National Review show that the mogul-turned-candidate never bothered to cast his vote in the past six presidential-primary elections — even in 2000, 2004, and 2012, years when he floated the idea of running for the Oval Office.
Even as Trump filled candidates’ coffers, he skipped the 2002 general election, failing to cast a vote for U.S. representative and governor, among other positions. He’s also sat out several city and state elections in the past 15 years, while donating heavily to candidates in the same races. In some of these elections, it appears Trump’s ever-changing party registration rendered him ineligible to cast a primary ballot. But in many others, he could have voted but didn’t.
Trump could not be reached, and his spokesperson had not responded to a request for comment by deadline.
Perhaps Trump prefers check-writing to ballot-casting. Over the past 15 years, he has donated more to Democratic candidates, including Friends of Hillary Clinton in 2002, than he’s given to Republicans.

What if America held and election:
And nobody showed up.
I mean really...what a rebuke of the current elite government....?
Isn’t that what you are claiming Trump did in all those previous elections he didn’t vote in?
Hmmm...
Hypocrite much?
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
Could be he just doesn’t like standing in lines when he can just give some cash and get what he wants... I mean why vote?
Yeah, I’m sure he was just sitting around in his underwear, too lazy to go to the polls.
Someone has offended the Cruz supporters, AGAIN!
Trump's really playing around in their heads.........
That's MIGHTY low...
Republicans want to turn their brains off and nominate an open borders globalist masquerading as a populist despite all the warnings, I will just let them have at it.
That analogy has a major flaw. “My toys” is the country, and I can’t take that with me. I have to go home with nothing because my toys were taken from me.
To be fair, the nomination process is decided before the New York primary
Well so much for all the Trump haters who say he voted for Obama. LOL!
“Is this a Glenn Beck spoof?”
Sure sounds like it. He probably votes absentee.
Remember Rush's ‘Operation Chaos’ that year? Uh-huh....I voted for Hillary in the primary; open primary in Tennessee.
I wish I hadn’t of voted for any of them starting with Bob Dole.
If I could go back and take all of my votes, except possibly for GWB in 2000, I would.
Anyhow, thank you for more of your usual hysterical lunacy.
That video is funny.
Smart man!
lolololololol
Hey we had to get drunk to vote for McStain so don’t blame Trump because he does not drink. LOL!
Quit! Someone get me a fainting couch!
