Trump says he never fails to vote. Fact check says otherwise.
NEW YORK (CNN) – Donald Trump's affirmation that he's voted in every general election disagrees with actual voting records, according to a spokeswoman with the New York City Board of Elections.

“I voted in every general election,” Trump told CNN affiliate NY1 by phone Friday. “I have records that I voted and so does the Board of Elections. … I signed in at every election.”

However, voting records obtained by the board of elections show that Trump did not vote in the 2002 general election, according to Valerie L. Vazquez, director of communications at the board.

The records also show that Trump skipped at least three presidential primaries and two mayoral primaries over the past 25 years, Vazquez said Friday.

See, what he meant to say was that his hair has never missed a vote. }(

1. I couldn't vote in NYS primaries
because I was an Independent from 1968 until 2002, although I did vote in every single presidential, state, and local elections. As soon as I joined the Democratic Party, I voted in every single primary in both NY, and now Floriduh (for all the good that has done).

If "the Donald" is a registered Republican, he CAN, and should, vote in primaries.

9. Oops!
Washington (CNN) - If Donald Trump runs for president, he won't be looking to former top Bush strategist Karl Rove for advice.

Rove became Trump's latest target in an interview with Fox News Thursday night.

"Karl Rove has a loser issue... is the man that ran Bush into the ground," Trump said. "Bush finished so weak that we ended up getting Obama. He ran the man into the ground."

Trump's comments follow recent criticisms from Rove, who has said Trump should not be taken as a serious potential candidate because of his insistence to dwell on the birther issue.

I think Donnie just fucked himself anally: When it comes to cynical spin cycles, he is no match for Rovie!

10. I never have voted in primaries
but voted in every presidential general election.
Mainly cuz the nominee was already decided when my state held the primary.
