“But qualifying for the Oregon ballot does not mean a candidate will be automatically listed in the Oregon Voters’ Pamphlet. Each candidate must submit a statement for publication in the pamphlet, along with either a fee ($3,500 for presidential candidates) or a requisite number of signatures. The Trump campaign did not do so for Oregon.”
So were they too broke or too disorganized to get in? Either way, it’s not a good look.
They used up all their resources ensuring that they were included in the pamphlet for The Oregonian Landscaping Company.
Or “Couldn’t be bothered”? Unknown…
Y’all are not cynical enough. It may be possible they simply didn’t have someone go “Don’t forget about this” but this little snafu will be twisted by them saying “See? These liberals aren’t even allowing Trump on the ballot!”
Even though it isn’t true, it’s just another thing they will try to use to rile up their voters.
I guess they could use it in the General? This is the Primary though, only Republicans vote in the Republican primary and it’s not like Trump has any serious competition…
At the cost of not winning a state he wouldn’t win in 100 years anyway, he gets to rail that a state worked to keep him from having a fair shot.
