Let us suppose that the numbers listed in the latest polls are somewhat right: with a very good ground operation, Cruz can add some 10% to his current standing. But it still won't be enough.

Therefore, the only way Cruz can win NH is if undeclared voters sign up to vote in the Republican primary, a very real possibility.

Define "very real possibility."

An estimated 1 in 5 Republican voters in NH are evangelical. A very good ground operation can certainly increase the percentage in favor of a certain candidate. However, libertarian issues will have to be addressed in addition to religious concerns.

Let us remember that in 2004, John Kerry went from 11 points down to 9 points up in just a week and won by 12.

In NH there are some 380,000 unregistered voters (more than 40% of the electorate), who can vote either Rep. or Dem.

What then is a real possibility?

To capture a good percentage of the 300,000 people of faith who are not usually voting in NH: this certainly can be accomplished by a very strong conservative candidate.

Jeb is the only politician running for President that isn't a cruel sociopath.

It is terrifying that a Bush is the least dangerous candidate.

If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

The NH primary was today.  I gave in and voted for Bernie.  It looks like he and Trump have won.

As I have stated from the very start, the Republican contest will not begin in earnest until March 1 (SC is just a warm up).

In NH, the first and third place winners practically just showed up and got the delegates, while the other candidates essentially gave it all they had at their disposal.

With the exception of Cruz, all the other candidates have ignored the South, having behaved as if there are no Republican voters there; some rely on the endorsements from their own family or from a governor of a state, others have no ground operation, yet they somehow think it is all going to work out.

In any case, any Republican who will win the nomination will be up against collectivism/socialism/with a nuance of communism (Sanders), a very good opportunity to score a big win.

I thought NH was smarter than that!  Trump?  Really?


Well fuck.  I'm calling it, Trump is winning the nomination barring any GOP interferance.

Why is huffpost so hilarious?

Interesting that a lot of sites are using similar titles with similar stories. Why is the media so afraid of Trump? They laughed at him when he "lost" Iowa. Is it not so funny anymore? Trump will make America great again and there is nothing these fuckers can do to stop it.

Because the corporate masters demand it.  They know that if Trump is president, they'll have to make a deal.

Maybe because the last time an ego driven demagogue with floppy hair rode to power on the back of "I'll make this country great again" buoyed along by the prejudice of retards, we had a world war?
Just to be clear, you are all terrific, but everything you say is exactly what a moron would say.

Hitler objectively made Germany great again. Germany went from a economic mess to the most powerful country in Europe, and arguably it still is.

Point! But that was a long term effect and after half the country had been occupied by the Russians for years and most of their cities had been reduced to rubble.
From an outsiders point of view there are few if any American cities that wouldn't benefit from this, but as a local is it a risk you want to take, you will get to wear a uniform for a while, but it won't be up to standards of the Hugo Boss designed ones the Nazi's had, probably some Hilfiger nightmare. The plus point would be that there would be a great coming together of white, black and Hispanic,... as you languish together in Chinese concentration camps.
