The NH primaries are off to a good start

My local TV channels are filled to the brim with coverage.
Punishment for being on this coast ?

Ugghhh!
 
Interesting data from the exit polls, according to Nate Silver: Only 48 percent of New Hampshire Republicans would be happy with Trump as the nominee -- and that's the guy who won.

It's not much of an exaggeration to say there are two kinds of Republicans: those who are voting for Trump, and those who can't stand him.
 
Trivia: Sanders has become the first Jew, and first person not to identify as a Christian, to ever win a primary.
 
Those who insist Obama is a Muslim won't agree. But they'll probably be just as incensed that a Jew has done it.

The GOP winner gets less support from his party's voters than the DEM loser.

I wonder if Trump would have a chance if the race wasn't still a clown car. Divide and conquer indeed.

Trump will be in the big race, Hillary maybe not.
 
This election is similar to Hitler's rise to power.

At the time Britain, America, and France made problems for Germany constantly. The communists created constant turmoil. And 1% of the German population (Jews) held half of the wealth and best jobs in Germany. The Jews were the one-percenters.

The establishment hated Hitler but he and his Brown Shirts made the others tone it down, he scared them.

I guess this is what you Hillary backers are going to hold onto? That she got more support in a two person race? Laughable

If you're an especially sensitive sort of RINO you won't go for Trump. The rest of us love we finally.have a candidate to hoist the media with their own petard. Shout out to my favorite sky pilot and his petard fetish.

In a 2-way race, probably not.

But the problem the GOP has now -- a problem assuming you don't believe Trump can win a general election -- is that New Hampshire didn't clarify anything (except that Christie is dead meat, which we already knew). The best case for the party would have been a result that got rid of everybody except Trump, Cruz, and one other "establishment" challenger to grab the support of everyone left in the party who isn't a total kook. That didn't happen.

Kasich probably would have left the race had he finished fourth or worse, but he didn't. I don't think his long-term prospects are very good, but in the meantime his supporters won't be drifting to other candidates. Bush got enough encouragement to keep pressing on, and he has the money to do so, but it's obvious by now that too many Republican voters just aren't interested. And while there will probably still be some people insisting Rubio is the strongest candidate in November, he's now finished third in Iowa and fifth in New Hampshire, and there's no precedent for anyone coming back from such a terrible start. The question about Rubio now is: what state can he win? If he and Bush are both still running by the time of the Florida primary, Trump will win there.
 
So, it's the anti-immigrant Trump or the Jewish Sanders. Either way, American Muslims lose.
