It’s been 36 years since we nominated a candidate who won NH but lost Iowa and then went on to win the presidency. And we just tried twice in a row. NH is not a good bellwether of the country. They’re much less socially conservative than most of the country.

The last time we tried nominating a candidate who won Iowa but lost NH, it was Bush and he won the presidency. Iowa is a much better indicator of electability.

Interesting. I hope you’re right.

I think we will be in real danger if Trump gets the nomination because he might well lose.

Or he might win. Lose, lose.

The true bellweather is SC. So hopefully after Feb 19th and Trump takes that state we can convince you to take a break. :-)
