Trump's voting record from New York was obtained by DailyMail.com
Only primary elections on the list were from mayoral and Senate contests
He has voted consistently in general elections, but not primaries
Same can be said of his daughter Ivanka and wife Melania
Trump is leading in nearly every statewide and national GOP primary pol

He hasn't voted in many primaries period.  I haven't voted in many primaries either...need some impetus to leave work.

But why must we resort to the foreign press to find out such things these days?

And you aren't running for President!

You can look at this one of two ways:

#1:  Trump is a stealth operative sent by the Democrats to destroy the Republican Party.

#2:  Trump didn't 'participate' because he had no interest in running for the POTUS.

True on #2...career politicians usually take care of details like that...the rest of us in the work world...well, we need a real reason sometimes.

2010 was probably for the gubernatorial primary. Carl Paladino was likewise a wealthy property developer; it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that Trump voted for Carl. 2013 was the mayoral primary, by which point he'd toyed with running for office at least twice; I don't know who he would have supported in that race. There typically aren't a lot of statewide Republican primaries in New York so that's probably why you didn't see more in the 2000s and 1990s.

It's still peculiar that he NEVER voted in a presidential primary at all given his consistent record in voting in general elections, even in the midterms. He may not have even voted for President in those general elections if he didn't vote at all in the primaries; he may have just selected downballot positions such as Congress and state legislature positions.

Well, it could also be that the NY primary is usually after Super Tuesday---so  the candidate is pretty set by then.  I know Republican New Yorkers who have never voted in a primary.  They didn't see the point.     :shrug:

Come on, Bigun.  Trump's been a politician for 12 seconds.  Private citizens don't worry about their primary voting records; only career politicians do that.

I don't think that many people bother to vote in the primaries in those late states, contests are usually long over by the time they hold their primaries or presidential preference polls.   :shrug:

Fascinating how Trump supporters will defend everything he does, regardless of what opinion they had before Trump was their candidate......

If you believed a candidate should be moral, you no longer believe a candidate should be moral.
If you believed a candidate should be conservative, you no longer believe a candidate should be a conservative.
If you believed a candidate should be consistent and have core values, you no longer believe a candidate should be consistent and have core values.

It's the most remarkable transformation/removal of political beliefs I've ever seen.

And all because Donald Trump (liberal) is running for President.

Yikes.

how many state secrets has trump sold? how many people have died on his watch? how many women has he raped and let his wife intimate and thoroughly destroy? How many assets have been killed because of his private emails where not secure, only for money?

flowers you could ask those same questions of any GOP candidate.

Let me ask you rhetorically how many primaries you have skipped.  I say rhetorically because I know the answer is none or almost none.

Amiright?

I'm guessing that is true for almost all of the posters at this forum.  Why?  Because we give a damn about our country and our government.

Not sure where you're going with that, flowers.............. that Trump isn't a Clinton?

OBVIOUSLY, he's not that bad.  But our standards ought to be as high as they can so that the most exemplary man/woman represents us in the general election.

I have a sinking feeling we're going to be settling for a sad substitute for honor this time around.

But let me tell you this........... whenever the primary is settled by the time Ohio votes, I STILL vote.  I ALWAYS vote.  I sure didn't vote for John McCain, even though the election was settled, but I voted.

It is my sacred duty to my country to let my voice be heard.

And I DO think less of those who don't take the privilege of voting seriously.

No argument here.

Though the politics are different, it's a very similar scenario to 2008.

And wouldn't we have been much better off had Paladino won and not Cuomo?

By the way, turnout was 35.5% in that election. Pitiful.
