Trump won't be on the NV primary

[pixy0stix]

Because he didn't file the paperwork.

Only the best!

ETA: I actually read the story now, lol! It seems the Nevada GOP is pulling shady shit.

D'oh!!

I just had to explain to my DH why it doesn't actually matter. At the end of the day, he is running away with the primary polls, he's going to win the nomination.

If he can’t be on the primary ballot, doesn’t that disqualify him from being on the ballot in November for the Republican Party? I know in NJ there are laws about that…

[mcsangel2]

This is so stupid and misleading. He isn't on the primary ballot because NV, previously a caucus state, passed a law saying if more than one candidate files they must have a primary election as well. And a candidate can only choose one.

"The Republican Party will use the caucus, rather than the primary, to determine who will win the state's 26 delegates, which means the primary election is symbolic. Most of the leading candidates sought to participate in the caucus."

I hate sensationalized headlines.

Nevada runs a caucus and a primary. The caucus is what determines the delegates, not the primary.

Oh, so this is nothing at all then. Damn.

Our election systems are so broken..... Both the party controlled primaries and the gerrymandering in the regular elections.
