I’m not sure I understand your logic.
The logic is: NH is very liberal, despite its many-years-earlier somewhat conservative trends (compared to Mass and Vermont.)
However, it is still very liberal, and will give a tremendous liberal bias ti the RINO’s and party-controlling DC attitudes. That’s how HW Bush and Dole and McCain got their push.
Start the orimary across the south. Start in TX and the central plains - don’t let the “Iowa tradition” (of populism and free silver - remember the past 130 years of farm state liberalism - rule how the GOP picks its first primary losers.
