In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump Is Crushing Everyone In New Hampshire [View all]Atman
(31,464 posts)25. BHWHAHAHA!
Have I ever followed politics before? Let me check my list of 27 Pollie and Reed Awards. Or maybe my work on the Obama campaign. I'll get back to you on what I know about politics.
New Hampshire is a jerkwater state, and the only reason it is important politically is because they hold the first primary. Come visit. Manchester, NH is close to Boston, so the pundit's love to come visit. Manchester loves it because it fill the hotels and restaurants. No one else cares.
New Hampshire is a joke, as is Iowa. Neither state has any actual reflection of America.
