Rand Paul Questions Trump’s Republican Credentials

The New York Times reports:

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, opened a breakfast speech here Thursday before the Merrimack County Republican Committee with a new demand for proof – not of President Obama’s citizenship, but of Donald Trump’s Republican credentials.

“I’ve come to New Hampshire today because I’m very concerned,” Mr. Paul said. “I want to see the original long-form certificate of Donald Trump’s Republican registration.”

As a bit of laughter erupted in the room, he added, “Seriously, don’t you think we need to see that?”

One day after Mr. Obama released his long-form birth certificate from the State of Hawaii – a move that was followed by Mr. Trump’s claim during a visit to New Hampshire that he believes that he deserves credit for the president’s decision – Mr. Paul sought to change the subject. He gently urged Republicans to take notice that Mr. Trump has contributed money to Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, and many other Democrats.

The Donald may have to answer if he is now or ever been a member of the Democratic party.
