Here's a LIVE THREAD for the NH Primary results this evening.
We will know soon enough and we can keep track it right here.
How quick will they call it? I expect between 7:30 and 8 PM the race will be called in NH tonight.
Responding to Bernie’s speech. “He wants to give away our country. We are not going to let it happen.”
“(Sanders) wants to give away our country.”
No argument from me.
It is amazing to think that Sanders might get the Dem nomination. Although it probably is still way too early, but Hillary seems to have a lot of problems. I wonder if someone else will enter if Hillary keeps doing poorly.
“Elect Sanders and watch America Bern”
“There’s no reason to believe that Cruz will be anything more than another pansy establishment R if we use your logic and reverse it.”
That’s simply a nonsensical statement. I realize that the echo chamber of Trumpania repeats this over and over, but it doesn’t make it so. Cruz demonstrated by his conduct as a Senator, bucking his own party establishment over and over again in the most vocal, unequivocal fashion. Moreover, he has a history of conservative philosophy and practice going back to his teenage years. Going back to his work at the FTC and later, as Solicitor General of Texas, he was conservative. Always.
I know you can pick the anecdotal case of the FPP or his wife’s tenure at Goldman Sachs, but these are, at the very, very worst, 1) a single, isolated case in the Senate and 2) having a spouse with a job in the capitalist market place.
So, your attempt to flip the devastating logic of Trump’s record back onto Cruz utterly fails.
You are correct to a degree about whether you have confidence in the candidate’s ability to carry out an agenda, but I haven’t the slightest doubt about the key question I posed: who do you trust with a Supreme Court pick. Trump, who doesn’t know the meaning of the word “conservative”, or Ted Cruz, who could give a brilliant dissertation off the cuff?
LOL, well, maybe we have our answer.
What a classy, organized, upbeat speech.
Trump’s in total control.
NH Combined campaign/SuperPAC spending
$36M Bush
$18.5M Christie
$15.2M Rubio
$12.1M Kasich
$3.7M Trump
$1.8M Fiorina
$580K Cruz
We now have political hacks dealing with other countries. That will not happen. We will have the best negotiators.
I’m so sick of that burned out old hippie.
At least the human gumball machine hasn’t called anyone a nasty name YET.
And the FReepers came out and danced with tambourines, singing, "Palin has drawn her thousands and Trump his ten thousands..."

*HUG* BACK!
We have a good field of candidates.
Look at what the Dims have to choose from!
;o)
Only self-funders like me can be trusted.
$580K for a 3rd place finish? Nice job Mr. Cruz
Cruz only spent 580K? Great that he may come in 3rd without spending too much.
Trump said he’ll bring ‘em ALL back, except the criminals. What is the point? His overtures and donations to all the most radical of the Communist leaders tell me all I need to know. He has NEVER in the past donated to a conservative candidate over a liberal.
Funny thing about Trump Haters, they twist/take out of context/outright lie about what Trump said. He said they should all be deported. If they’re good people, they can get in line like anyone else who wants to come in, legally.
He also has donated heavily to R candidates for years. You’re just talking smack that has nothing to do with reality.
“Look at what the Dims have to choose from!
;o):
Really!
They look like the cast from Cocoon!
