The Trump/Haley Show in New Hampshire – What Happens When You’re Not Picking a Candidate Like Donald Trump?
“If they pick someone else, they could be absolutely disgusted, and say it doesn’t really matter who they pick”, said McHenry who grew up in New Hampshire. They could have said, “I am going to vote for Donald Trump and I will go through a snowstorm in my bare feet to get there.”
Jon McHenry of North Star Opinion Research said that New Hampshire is so hard to predict due to the large amount of undecided voters.
“Whether it be the closer to the population centers, whether it be more rural, whether it be college educated, whether it be those who do not have college degrees,” Miller said. “You could think of a lot of possible demographic groups, but President Trump did really well.”
But not everyone is ready to commit to Haley. Former Christie-backer Corinne Pryor has some doubts. Pryor is an undeclared voter and wants to see if Haley can stand up to Trump’s Republican party like Christie did.
Jim Merrill joked that it’s the Trump and Haley show this week in New Hampshire. “Unlike Iowa, there’s a real contest going on here, and it’s not a contest between second and third place.”
Haley accused Trump of throwing a “temper tantrum”. And, in a new ad, she’s painted Trump as having the same baggage as Biden.
“As you know, Nikki Haley in particular is counting on the Democrats and liberals to infiltrate the Republican primary,” he said, likely referring to the registered Democrats who have changed party affiliation.
Haley was third in Iowa. Trump isn’t going after the Florida governor. According to polls in New Hampshire, Haley is within striking distance of Trump’s numbers.
I’m so glad I can come out and vote for you, Mr. Trump, and I’ll be driving to the polls for the Democratic New Hampshire primary
He told people to vote for him because he wanted to save America and defeat the radical left Democrats.
Former President Donald Trump has a big event Friday in Concord, N.H., his third event in a week-long sprint of almost back-to-back rallies ahead of the state’s decisive Tuesday primary.
After his victory in Iowa’s caucuses, Donald Trump has been in the Granite State a lot. Now, as he looks to the general election, he’s counting on New Hampshire’s voters to help him put the election to bed.
“I’m going to vote for Governor Christie on a write-in ticket for the Democratic New Hampshire primary,” she said. “And then I’m going to spend the rest of the day driving anybody who needs a ride to the poll.”
When Johnson heard about Christie standing up to Trump and his trademark Q and A, he realized that he really believed in him. She is a registered Democrat and admits it’s kind of weird to be so dedicated to a Republican candidate. But she cried right there at the town hall.
“Nikki Haley sometimes said it, but not in so many words,” she said. It felt like it was a bit easier to land. Chris Christie was more open and candid.
A Conversation with Dawn Hartnett, a New Jersey IT Project Manager, About Chris Christie’s Dropout. Where will his voters turn in the New Hampshire primary?
Hartnett said that Trump should be removed from the ballot. “She is our last, best chance, but a very good person to vote for. I think she’d do a great job.”
Dawn Hartnett, an IT project manager from Hookset, is an independent who has never voted for a Republican at the national level, but that’s about to change. She attended an event for Haley near her home, despite the fact that she can’t stand Trump.
On the day Christie announced his campaign was over, she had already driven about two and a half hours. She was supposed to be manning the mic for the question and answer portion of the event.
Hanover resident Catherine Johnson fashioned a role for herself on the Chris Christie presidential campaign that was essentially a Walmart greeter but for town halls and candidate meet and greets. She was a super volunteer for the former New Jersey governor. She was happy to be in the state and had good reason to brag about her mileage on her car.
When former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination last week at a town hall event in Windham, N.H., Norm Olsen was there. The man knew who he was going to vote for.
A University of New Hampshire poll taken before Christie dropped out showed that many Christie voters preferred Haley as their second choice.
Where were the Christies? Where are the people? How did you know? What do you know about Trump? — A friend of Olsen
“Well, out of ten people that I know, eight of them were about as quick as I was to go to Nikki,” he said. “And two of them haven’t made up their mind yet. That’s just the people I know.
Voters like Olsen, who hosted a meet-and-greet with about 30 people for Christie at his home in Portsmouth shortly before Christmas. The Republican appreciated that Christie was the only candidate in the GOP primary race willing to say what he felt needed to be said about Trump.
