Trump has work to do in N.H. to drum up support, strategists and activists say
The Boston Herald ^ | August 14, 2019 | Lisa Kashinsky

As Donald Trump looks to fire up his base Thursday night in New Hampshire, GOP political strategists and activists say the president needs to tout his economic successes, push back at “socialism” and reintroduce voters to the “unique appeal” that catapulted him to office.

Trump returns tonight to the Southern New Hampshire University arena in Manchester — the site of his election eve rally in 2016 — for a “Keep America Great” re-election campaign event set to begin at 7 p.m.

“He has a unique appeal,” Republican strategist Mike Dennehy said. “We know that he has the ability to connect and get voters to the polls.”

After winning New Hampshire’s Republican primary in 2016, Trump narrowly lost the state to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the general election. Dennehy noted Trump is “the only Republican who has come close to winning New Hampshire since George W. Bush won it in 2000” — no small feat in what has become a purple state.

But Trump remained underwater in the latest University of New Hampshire Survey Center poll released this week, in which 53% of those surveyed disapproved of Trump and 42% approved of him — nearly identical to the 54% disapproval and 41% approval ratings he garnered in UNH’s April survey.

The State motto of NH is “Live Free or Die”.

Recently by their voting patterns, most of their residents have chosen “die”.

I notice Trump is down to 45 percent even in the Rasmussen poll. Seems like team Trump is having a bit of a tough time right now. Hopefully his numbers will come back.

It is widely believed that candidate Trump had New Hampshire stolen from him in 2016 by bus loads of Massachusetts voters that came to NH and voted there.

And I suppose attendance will as usual disappoint with an overflow crowd only twice the capacity of the venue.

GOP has added bet about 7k more voters over DemoKKKrats.

It will still be a fight.

*****************************************************

We just had an attempt to overthrow the US government on his watch. Everyone with an IQ over 2 knows who was behind. And it seems like nothing is going to be done about it. At some point faith fades. And it doesn’t help that Epstein was just killed on Trump’s watch also when again, everyone with an IQ over 2 knew the most powerful men in the world wanted him dead and the warden was useless. Yet he was still killed. That only happened through incompetence, complicity, or indifference but no way should Trump and Barr have let it happen. I’m not getting a great feeling about justice existing in this country right now and yes, I’m laying much of it on Trump’s shoulders and I’m probably not alone.
