Mike Bloomberg wins Dixville Notch as voting begins in New Hampshire’s first in the nation primary

Published 2 mins ago

By Bob Brigham

Tiny Dixville Notch — population five — traditionally votes at one minute after midnight to start the primary.

US Democrats braced for a volatile, consequential primary on Tuesday in New Hampshire as leftist Bernie Sanders and youthful challenger Pete Buttigieg fight for pole position in the race for who faces Donald Trump in November’s presidential election.

But both were bested by Mike Bloomberg, who won both the Republican side and the Republican side despite not being on the ballot.

Bloomberg received on vote in the GOP primary and two in the Democratic Primary.

Sanders and Buttigieg each received a single vote.

Tensions have risen steadily as Granite Staters, notoriously independent-minded and astute voters, prepared to troop to polls across this northeastern battleground that has just 1.3 million people but plays a hugely influential role in the American political landscape.

At least they are both actual Democratic party members and not an (I) running as a (D).

But Bloomberg/Klobachur works better for this timeline.

Sorry... Linda Carter is not available to Run for President on this Earth One Universe Timeline.

You can't alienate an entire group. Bloomberg will have to pick Warren.

brought down crime rate—not!—and apologizes to the community he seriously hurt with his draconian and unjust policy only when he decides to run.
