Fergus Cullen Ballot Challenge Knocked Out in Two Minutes

Fungus’ Cullen, probably at the behest of the NHGOPe inner circle, challenged Donald Trump’s eligibility to be on the NH Primary ballot. The Ballot commission tossed the challenge out, according to WMUR, in about two minutes. (emphasis mine)

CONCORD, N.H. —The state Ballot Law Commission on Tuesday quickly threw out a former New Hampshire Republican Party chairman’s challenge to Donald Trump’s eligibility to be on the GOP first-in-the-nation primary ballot.

After a hearing that lasted about two minutes, the five-member commission voted unanimously that the challenge filed by Fergus Cullen was without merit because New York state election records clearly show that Trump is a registered Republican in that state.

When asked if he had evidence that Trump was not a Republican, Cullen replied, “I do not have that information.”

In his complaint, Cullen wrote that Trump has a history of being a Democrat and an independent before changing his party affiliation to Republican. He noted that Trump has praised Democrat Hillary Clinton and contributed to her 2008 presidential campaign, as well as to the Clinton Foundation. Cullen also noted that Trump has spoken in a complimentary way about President Obama, who is also a Democrat.

He charged that 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.”

Well, crap, the views of Cullen himself, the views expressed by the current NHGOP chair Jennifer Horn, both state Republican Committeeman, our current Republicans US senator, the current NH House speaker and House leadership, and the leadership in the NH State Senate “are inconsistent with the Republican Party platform and the Republican Party of New Hampshire’s Statement of Principles and By Laws.” By all accounts, if Fungus actually believes anything he is saying, he should love him some Trump.

What a joke.

Fungus knew Trump was eligible. The NHGOPe knew as well. The Kasich Super PAC Cullen claims to have informed of his challenge knew Trump was eligible.  So the real intrigue is what was there to gain by doing this, other than validating Cullen’s status as the NHGOP’s Ruprecht the monkey boy ?
