If Trump's kids can't vote for him because they're not registered, doesn't that mean

they didn't vote in at least a few prior elections?

And doesn't that imply the Trump family has not been civic minded or government oriented or . . .

That is, just like Trump didn't care about government much until he decided to run, his children reflect that lack of governmental concern or sense of civic duty.

New York's primary is closed to registered party members. If the Trump children aren't registered as Republicans, they can't vote for their father next week.

Trump's opponents have harped on concerning Trump) or hadn't voted previously (which reflects Trumps past concern with government.)

It's not as great as discovering Trump hadn't voted for a dozen or so years, but it's almost the next best thing.
