Those who wish to vote in the Virginia Republican Party presidential primary will have to sign a pledge that they are a member of the GOP.
Donald Trump, who will not win the party nomination, has a big problem with that.
“It begins, Republican Party of Virginia, controlled by the RNC, is working hard to disallow independent, unaffiliated and new voters. BAD!” Trump tweeted Sunday, beginning a social-media tirade on the pledge, which of course is unenforceable and thus immaterial anyway, but still.
Trump needed to be fired up mad about something on Sunday. Might as well be this.
More from The Donald:
R.P.Virginia has lost statewide 7 times in a row. Will now not allow desperately needed new voters. Suicidal mistake. RNC MUST ACT NOW!

The voters the Republican Party of Virginia are excluding will doom any chance of victory. The Dems LOVE IT! Be smart and win for a change!

Straighten out The Republican Party of Virginia before it is too late. Stupid! RNC

Virginia law does not allow parties to require registration for voting in party primaries.
The party in 2012 flirted with an oath that would have required voters to pledge to support the party nominee in the November general election before dropping the idea.
Again, it’s unenforceable, anyway.
