So?
New Hampshire doesn’t go ‘Pubbie in the General anyway. Who cares what NH voters think?

pointing to the fact New Hampshire has the second-lowest rate of church attendance in the country

A bunch of Marxist, eh? Said like this is a good thing.

“...a top adviser to Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign.”

Why read any further?

LOLOL. Too funny.
You know Cruz will be in the winner center at the debate Saturday, right? He has the most delegates.

If they are basing their calculations on evangelicals alone, they would be right. But Cruz has also been courting the libertarian vote, which is significant in NH. Ron Paul got 23% in NH in 2012. And with Rand Paul out, there are no other candidates appealing to that group.

Starting to see Trump slip a little, I see. It will be interesting to see tomorrow with the effect of yesterday’s “Trumpertantrum” in the mix.

Tonight is another poll. I won’t be happy until we see low single digits for Cruz. However, I hope he gets kicked to the kiddie stage if he ends up in single digits. If he is double digits then he can be on main stage.....but hopefully he doesn’t get that high.

Feather in his cap. If the marxists in NH like you... that’s actually a problem.

As usual Ted Cruz will exceed expectation, and most likely place in the top two.

One of the bluest of blue states prefers Trump and Rubio over Cruz? First, I'm surprised Kasich or Bush was not in third place. And second, this sounds to the red states like more of an endorsement for Cruz than a rebuke.

Trump is very popular in left-wing NH. Conservative Ted Cruz, not so much.

The liberal rag “Daily Beast” shares your joy!

NH is a bad fit for Cruz and I think a lot of people in NH resent the Iowa winner...

With that said Rubio is coming up fast and Trump better watch his six and concentrate fire on Rubes not Cruz.

One point down from Rubio, yet Cruz is getting crushed, but Rubio is not . . . lies, damn lies, statistics, and political statistics + spin

New Hampshire is not Vermont. And there are Christians in both states.

I thought Trump was going to get the Evangelical vote in Iowa.

I think Cruz is in steady decline.

If everyone thinks Cruz will be crushed then finishing third or fourth would be a good showing.

And Bernie Sanders is ahead of Hillary 58-36%.
There is a reason New Hampshire is known as the, Live Freeze and Die State. They are a bit liberal/Progressive/Socialist (what is the PC term for Communist these days?) up there and Trump winning just fits.

Feb 4, 2016: “PPP’s newest national poll finds the race on the Republican side tightening considerably in the wake of Donald Trump’s surprise loss in Iowa on Monday night. Trump’s lead has fallen to just 4 points - he’s at 25% to 21% each for Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, 11% for Ben Carson, 5% each for Jeb Bush, John Kasich, and the now departed Rand Paul, 3% each for Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina, and 1% for Jim Gilmore. Rick Santorum had literally zero supporters on our final poll including him......

Cruz is actually pretty steady in his national standing even after his surprise victory in Iowa. His 21% standing is up just slightly from 18% in December and his favorability rating is basically unchanged - it was 59/27 then and it’s 58/28 now. One thing Cruz has going for him is that when you combine first and second choices he comes out ahead with 41% to 36% for Rubio, and 32% for Trump. That’s another metric indicating the difficulty Trump may have in growing his support. Additionally Trump trails Cruz 47/41 head to head, which bodes poorly for him if they end up being the finalists.....”

“I would advise Cruz to skip New Hampshire and go to South Carolina”

The simple fact that Cruz isn’t taking this advice and continues to fight regardless shows me a lot about his character. Which is why i support him. keep fighting Ted.

At one time I didn’t despise Ted, then I read his backers postings. Teddy’s backers work like Anti-Disciples.
