They can try to milk this squeaker "win" for all its worth... but considering how NH is a state whose ethnic demographics are tailor-made to suit the BS campaign... the fact that he struggled so much to eek out a win (which is actually a TIE) reveals much about the weaknesses of the campaign.

It's also a clue about how poorly the BS campaign would perform in a national contest as well.

She's not running for President this year, of course, but I expect that she could win the votes of Democrats across a very diverse range of states.

He'd bring in MILLIONS of young people who never ever vote. Those are the people who will not only vote, but they'll also canvass, phone-bank, take back the Senate, increase the lead in the House.
