This morning, during an interview with Fox News, aspiring presidential candidate Donald Trump revealed that his ground game has been pretty inept in securing delegate votes in his home state of New York, so much so that they failed to secure his own children’s registry to vote.
Eric and Ivanka Trump missed the registration deadline in March and will be unable to contribute to their father’s win, and they feel pretty bad about it according to the mogul. “They had a long time to register, and they were, you know, unaware of the rules, and they didn’t register in time,” he said. “So they feel very, very guilty. They feel very guilty.”
“It's fine. I understand that. I think they have to register a year in advance and they didn't. So Eric and Ivanka, I guess, won't be voting,” Trump said before cracking a joke about adjusting their allowances.
While Trump’s kids have been very present during his campaign, the two youngest won’t be able to join their family to vote on April 19. “Each state differs greatly in terms of the rules and requirements — most allowing you to change your status on or close to the date of voting, if even required,” the two said in a statement. “Eric and I are fully supportive of our father and look forward to casting our vote for him in November,” explained Ivanka.
Before ending the interview, Trump once again spoke of his deep concerns and disagreement with CIA director John Brennan, who has stated he refuses to use enhanced interrogation techniques (meaning torture, basically) like waterboarding, even if the next president agrees and ordered they should do so. “They chop off heads and drown people in cages,” Trump said of ISIS. “And we can’t waterboard. And we can’t do anything,” he continued.
