LIVE THREAD: NH Vote Results

February 9, 2016 | Jeff Head

The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period.

The Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental right that belongs to all law-abiding Americans. The Constitution does not create that right ... it ensures that the government cannot take it away. Our Founding Fathers knew, and our Supreme Court has upheld, that the Second Amendments purpose is to guarantee our right to defend ourselves and our families. This is about self-defense, plain and simple.

It has been said that the Second Amendment is Americas first freedom. That is because the Right to Keep and Bear Arms protects all our other rights. We are the only country in the world that has a Second Amendment.
Protecting that freedom is imperative."

Donald Trump

That is NOT a good sign for front runners ...

Generally, when people remain undecided up to the last minute, they do not vote based on a candidate’s positions on the issues - they chicken out and vote on the “safe” same-old-same old ...

IOW, they will vote for the worst possible establishment hack. This can only be good for Kasich, Bush or Christie. When undecided percentage is this high, then I have doubts as to whether Trump or Cruz will come out on top. Hope I am wrong, but “I got a bad feeling about this.”

[Gasshog]

The advantage is whatever the results may be I am sufficiently numb to buffer any negative impact. ; )

Go Trump!

In past elections, voters have placed their electronic vote, hit the “submit” button, and seen their vote change before their eyes before it went off the screen.

I figure that with even high school kids as tech savvy as they are, it would be easy for a cheater to find someone plenty skilled enough to rig voting machines.

Exit polls: 54% “last debate was important” (Not good for Rubio)

[PJBankard]

That’s good. Where are you getting that from?

[austinaero]

I voted for Cruz twice myself!

Save your name-calling for your teenage fantasy life.

BTW if you notice, I am the one who pointed out, with a link that Cruz leads in Texas.

Your hate-everything-but-Cruz venom is leaking out.

Shocking? No.

The personal name-calling is beyond the pale. Ridiculous and reduces you and your candidate.

Carry on.

#Cruz to Victory - New Hampshire

This is not directed at you, but at the SC Republican Elite...
“That explanation is about as clear as mud.”

There may be a bunch of us on the Trump Rally threads tonight for the results. Think I will check in there if it continues to get snarky. For goodness sakes, we’re all conservatives.

[Jeff Head]

Both of these guys are smart.... and they have some very smart people around them.

Whenever one of their “splits” and “attacks” occurs between each other...they suck up ALL of the oxygen in that news cycle.

I could see it being planned...and if it was, it is brilliant.

[Biggirl]

Looks like it will either be Trump or Cruz to come out on top.

[Kenny]

I saw an article that said these late breakers often just want to deliver a surprise, vote agains the front runner.

How terribly sad ;-(

[lovesdogs]

Don’t know what was wrong with Rush today. There was no way that he thought that Rubio was repeating a message due to importance. He saw the debate and saw that look on marcos face. It was almost like he was attempting to influence those pitiful primary day deciders.

[Kit cat]

Trump is 11 points ahead, Trump voters decided long ago they will not be moved exit polls stated this fact!!! Trump voters are ALSO working!!!

[LS]

Undecideds according to exit polls breaking heavy for Trump, Kasich.

[kabar]

I hope he does do better than expected. A second place for Cruz in NH would be a huge win for him.

I thought you had to come in third place to be declared the winner.

Cruz supporters constantly reminded us that Trump was a loser despite his strong second place finish. They liked to affix the term LOSER on Trump's forehead.

The reality is that there are many more races to come. NH will help winnow down the field, but the race has just begun. A win by Trump in NH will give him momentum rolling into SC where he is currently ahead in the polls. Ruio has the endorsements of Gowdy and Tim Scott for what that is worth. Graham has endorsed Bush. SC could prove problematic for Cruz if the field remains large.
