Trump’s son sees ‘perception problem’ for GOP

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s son, Eric, on Monday said the GOP has a “perception problem” over its presidential primary rules.

“This really upsets people,” Eric Trump said on “Fox and Friends” of last month’s Arizona’s GOP presidential primary.

“Then fast-forward two months and all of a sudden those people’s opinions, those people’s time, that’s stripped from them?” he asked. “That’s not democracy. I mean, that’s just not democracy.”

Eric Trump said his father would ultimately clinch the Republican nomination, starting with a huge victory in New York’s primary on Tuesday.

“We’re going to win,” he said. “We’re going to win big tomorrow. [Then] we’re going to win big on the 26th. It’s going to start tomorrow.”

Reports emerged earlier this month that neither Eric Trump nor his sister Ivanka Trump had registered to vote for their father in New York.

Ivanka Trump said last week that she failed to register because of the Empire State’s “onerous” voting rules.

“It required us to register a long time ago, almost — close to a year ago,” she said during a CNN town hall. “And we didn’t do that. We found out about it sort of after the fact.”

Trump leads rivals Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich by nearly 30 points in New York, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.

Voters in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island then cast ballots on April 26.

Trump is the front-runner by about 10 points nationwide, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.

He also has 755 delegates, compared to Cruz’s 559 and Kasich’s 144. At least 1,237 delegates are needed to avoid a contested Republican National Convention in July.
