More than 12,000 (9.1%) New Hampshire Republicans went to the polls to vote against Trump.

Interesting note: Republican Bill Weld received about 9.1% of the vote in the New Hampshire Republican primary — getting at least 12,747 votes.

Repubs cannot be happy with that number, especially Donald Trump.

his support has not grown. If he loses 9% of his base, he is toast.

because to beleive that would mean he isn't the greatest candidate ever. I think it's safe to say, no one in his White House is elplaining the results to him. He spent last night tweeting insults to all the dems. He's nuts.

The rest of the GOP is resting on the idea, they always come home to roost. There's little evidence that moderate and the rare liberal GOPer is going to vote for a moderate Dem. Any dem candidate relying on appealing to them to win the general is wasting time (airing my frustration at the candidats last night and the pundits that waste air time to floating this balloon that there's little evidence for). The under count and getting them to the polls is their huge hope. These 9 percent are a chimera.

At least nationally. Regionally, it's a bad sign for taking back the house. I don't think they can do it with those numbers against them. Pelosi shoud be back in 2021.

but, I'm thinking of doing the same thing in the Michigan open primary. I'm more than happy with any Dem that wins in Michigan and figure tRump would be unhappy with all the Publicans that vote against him.
Please don't any of you do this too. It's a very dirty trick.
