President Donald J. Trump scored a decisive victory on Tuesday night in New Hampshire, and also set a new record.
President Donald J. Trump scored a decisive victory on Tuesday night in New Hampshire, and also set a new record.
As renowned pollster Rich Baris points out, Trump demolished the record for most votes ever cast for a presidential candidate in an NH primary. The record was previously held by Bernie Sanders in 2016.
In 2016, Sanders received 152,193 votes, crushing Hillary Clinton.
At time of publication, 152,565 votes were cast for President Trump, with 13% of the votes still yet to be tallied.
Trump triumphed over his only remaining competitor, Nikki Haley. This win serves to further solidify Trump's position as the undisputed front-runner in the race for the GOP's 2024 presidential nomination.
As of late Tuesday night, the exact margin of Trump's victory awaited confirmation, but the outcome in the Granite State deals a setback to Haley's attempts to rally an anti-Trump coalition - made up of independents and Democrats - who aimed to impede his progress toward the nomination.
Following Trump's victory, Haley doubled down on staying in the race, assuring her supporters that "this race is far from over."
Trump criticized Haley, saying "somebody ran up to the state all dressed up nicely when it was at seven, but now I just walked up it’s at 14," he said, noting his lead over Haley in the election results. "She was up and I said wow, she’s doing like a speech like she won. She didn’t, she lost.
"We'll head out to South Carolina where I think we're going to win easily. I think we're 50 points up … on a person that was governor, that tells you something, but I felt I should do this because I find it a life you can't let people get away with bullsh*t, okay. And when I watched her, the fancy dress, it probably wasn't so fancy, come up I said what is she doing? We won. And she did the same thing last week."
An astounding 70% of Haley voters were not Republicans.
I didn’t lose I came in second lol
Fox did the same thing last night. Brit Hume said, looking at Trump as an incumbent, his performance was weak. He spouted some stupid rationale based on the lie that Trump is an incumbent. He is not. An incumbent is someone who is currently in office.
“Brit Hume said, looking at Trump as an incumbent, his performance was weak.”
They showed this clip in the cold open of War Room at 10:00. Maddening! What an arrogant prick, sitting up there expounding all sanctimonious.
RINOs like Cornyn have now endorsed Trump, not because they agree with him, but because he is popular. That makes it stupid to oppose him openly. People should not be confused. The Republicans in Congress are complicit in the Bidet Regime’s installation and governance.
70% of Nikki voters WERE NOT REPUBLICANS????
Nope..........They were Democrats that changed parties just to vote, not ‘For Haley’ but ‘AGAINST TRUMP’................
I don’t understand the “Flag Snatcher” reference. Please elaborate.
My other name for her is "Icky Nikki". That takes no explanation.
This is my concern too. Do not underestimate to what lengths the Deep State will go to in order to make sure Trump is not on the ballot. Even as crazy as the past ten years has been too many people are operating under normalcy bias thinking that the deep state won’t do anything to stop Trump this November.
Lawfare is one option and after that it gets a lot more sinister (think JFK or RFK). Plus, I think the inside the beltway crowd would be more than happy with Nikki Haley over Biden. Nikki will be much more efficient at enacting the globalist and neocon agenda.
Plus in 2028 the democrats can nominate a candidate that will run on a platform pretending to unwind what Haley’s administration accomplished. It will be Obama all over again.
And in spite of the election interference perpetrated by the despicable democrats.
“…but the outcome in the Granite State deals a setback to Haley’s attempts to rally an anti-Trump coalition - made up of independents and Democrats - who aimed to impede his progress toward the nomination.”

Gee, I thought that the Democrats wanted Trump to be the nominee, because he would be so easily beaten as an “extremist.” Perhaps the real truth is that they are scared to death of him, and his popularity with ordinary Americans - ordinary Americans who are sick and tired of being pissed on, and then being told that it’s raining.
I remember the Confederate flag flying over the state capitol building when I lived in Columbia, SC.
Not tired of winning yet.
Oral arguments before a 3 judge panel of the DC Circuit on the presidential immunity issues is on February 8. I don’t think you’ll see a decision until at least two weeks later. If Trump loses, he gets 14 days to seek rehearing en banc (i.e., before all 11 judges on the DC Circuit). Let’s say the court denies that within one week. All of a sudden we are out close to March 15. Trump then gets, I think, 90 days to file for a writ of certiorari in the US Supreme Court; if four justices agree to take the case, it gets set down for full briefiing and argument. Given that the Supreme Court’s annual term ends prior to the July 4 holiday weekend and the new term does not start until the first working day in October, the case probably gets heard sometime in November after the election has been held. So, I think it is doubtful that the trial will be held in Judge Chutkan’s courtrom this year.
Trump should be at the Georgia Supreme Court requesting a special master be appointed to conduct a proceeding to determine whether Fani Willis should keep her law license, which she needs to prosecute the case. Trump should be arguing that the whole case should be thrown out because Willis is a corrupt public official, which taints the grand jury indictment she obtained. He should also be arguing that Fani is a racist and that her actions are designed to violate the rights of The Donald, a white male, under color of state law.
I sense that Trump may want these judicial proceedings to continue, because he can’t possibly buy advertising like this, and the proceedings show how utterly corrupt and contemptible the Democrat party is.
And, she and the Republican establishment scumbags are proud of that fact because they want Haley to remain in the race as long as possible to attack Trump and help Biden.
Yup.
Of course, a fantasy as audacious as this would certainly be supported and played along with by the delusional, anti-American leftist marxist democrats and their PR arm, the midstream media.
I know, it sounds crazy, but look at the state of things today...good is evil and evil is good, the truth is whatever the left says it is...seems plausible enough to me!

Trump Trials: Awaiting appeals court ruling and more courtroom antics
WP biased reporting. Re the immunity hearing, it appears that they are awaiting a decision.
“We’re watching for an appeals court decision on Trump’s claim that he’s immune from prosecution for actions he took while in office — immunity that would even cover “events that ‘cross the line,’” he is claiming on social media.”
Are you sure about the Feb 8 date for oral arguments on the immunity issue? It appears that has already happened. I can recall the Judge Pan hypothetical about Trump using Seal Team 6 to kill a political opponent.
Once the three judge panel issues its decision, then Trump can appeal to a DC en banc panel or it can be moved to SCOTUS. I agree that the March 2 date is unrealistic.
There is also the case SCOTUS will hear concerning the use of the charge of obstruction of official proceedings against J6 defendants. The same charge has been leveled against Trump.
It’ll be interesting — as these moneyed interests keep watching her lose, and lose, and lose — to see how long they’re willing to try to prop her up financially in the face of a Reality that, at this point, seems manifestly inevitable.
Also, I wonder — if they’re willing to keep pouring in the capital — how long Haley will be willing to keep playing the game and keep taking the beatings.
They’re either going to cut her off, or she may get to the point of telling them, “It’s OVER; I’m DONE,” OR she could say, “I don’t care if I keep losing, as long as these people are gonna keep throwing the money at me, I’ll keep going, and when the rails finally run out, after the smoke from the wreckage clears, I’ll walk off into the sunset with my leftover campaign funds and call it a good run.”
I mean, Hell, if anybody wanted to give me a few million to run around smiling and glad-handing and losing to Trump, so long as I got to keep the residual funds when it was over, I don’t think that’s a deal I’d pass up.
Big deal.
We know from HISTORY that BIDEN is the vote getting record breaker!
Donald better watch out as a grudge match is shaping up!
