With you on this.
With the reality of significant economic expansion, popularity and consistent crowd sizes Trump is pulling, continued uptick in even heavily scued left wing polling data for Trump, and the RNC doubling (or more) their national campaign donations — such numbers seem almost perfectly backward.
If Team Trump now believes they may win there, this suggest probable internal polling showing strength they did not have in 2016.
If the above arguments are true, and based on ever increasing DNC voter fraud schemes nationally, such reported numbers may serve to increase the possibility of left-wing/DNC voter machinations in November.
It could be they are attempting to reshape perceptions, so future “discrepancy” no longer appears such a “discrepency”, reducing the chances of being scrutinized.
Or NH is just weird this way.
