Barkhamsted residents – please get out and vote Tuesday in the Connecticut Presidential Primary. Polls will be open from 6AM until 8PM at the Barkhamsted Elementary School. Please enter from the rear of the building.
Republicans – our three candidates still in the race and hoping to receive our party’s nomination who will be on the ballot Tuesday, are New York businessman Donald Trump, Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, and Ohio Governor John Kasich. Donald Trump made appearances in Waterbury on Saturday and in Bridgeport today. John Kasich appeared in Glastonbury on Friday and stopped by a fundraiser in Greenwich last week. Ted Cruz opened a campaign office in Ellington where supporters and volunteers can go help with phone calls and other tasks.
According to Quinnipiac and Emerson polling data, Trump respectively has 48% and 50% of the party vote for an RCP average of 49%. Kasich comes in second, at 28% and 26% respectively for an RCP average of 27%. Cruz comes in third, at 19% and 17% respectively for an RCP average of 18%. Twenty-five out of the twenty-eight CT delegates are at stake on Tuesday.
The Barkhamsted Republican Town Committee supports these three candidates as well as the original qualified and respected candidates who made the initial seventeen contender bench. All three candidates in Tuesday’s primary have support from our members and all will see votes from our membership. We stand in complete agreement that we are all for Anyone But Hillary.
{Editor: As an aside to the Democrats, Vermont U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders was unable to meet agreeable terms with UCONN, where he wanted to address potential voters, speculatively because of UCONN’s relationship with the Clintons. UCONN presented an award to former President Bill Clinton for human rights in October, and the UCONN Foundation paid Hillary Clinton $251,250. for a speaking engagement in April 2014. Sanders plans changed to a rally on the New Haven green this afternoon and another at the Hartford Riverfront Park Rally Monday at 10AM. Clinton made a campaign stop in New Haven on Saturday and held a rally in Bridgeport today.}
