Well, just when you thought that family would stand behind you?

It looks like that Trump's own family can't get the nerve to vote for Mr. Trump? Two of his children missed the deadline(or declined) to register in the upcoming NY State's Republican Primary! Trump says that "Eric and Ivanka, feel guilty, very GUILTY, HUGELY GUILTY, but that he is fine and so are they"! Just have to wonder how guilty they feel?

It looks like they didn't register as members of a political party.

Eric and Ivanka Trump won't be eligible to vote for their father in the closed Republican Party primary after missing the deadline to register with a political party.
. . .

The deadline for registered voters to change party enrollment was Oct. 9, 2015, more than six months ago. The deadline to register as a new voter was March 25.
. . .

Records from the New York State Board of Elections show that Eric, 32, and Ivanka Trump, 34, are registered voters who are “not enrolled in a party.”


It's a closed primary. They could only vote in it if they registered _as Republicans._ Lots of people who vote regularly are not members of a political party.
