New Hampshire primary: More Republicans who voted in primary feel greater allegiance to Trump than party
CBS "News" ^ | February 13, 2020 | BY JENNIFER DE PINTO

In addition to interviewing Democratic primary voters leaving the polls in New Hampshire on Tuesday, CBS News polled Republicans, too.

As expected, President Trump overwhelmingly won the Republican primary, and those who came out to vote were strong supporters.

Support for the president among New Hampshire Republican primary voters runs deep. When they were asked whether they feel more allegiance to the Republican Party or to Donald Trump, a majority (55%) picked Trump. Even among those who said they feel more allegiance to the Republican Party, most of them - more than 7 in 10 - voted for Mr. Trump.

The president did get somewhat less support among Republican primary voters who said they didn't support him for the nomination in 2016, but most (62%) of that group cast their vote for him as well.

New Hampshire Republican and Democratic primary voters see the impact of impeachment on the president's reelection chances differently. Most Republicans said it has helped Mr. Trump's reelection chances. Most Democrats disagree, but they don't widely see impeachment as something that has hurt the president politically - 6 in 10 said his impeachment hasn't made a difference regarding his reelection chances. Just under a quarter said it has hurt his chances.

It’s a good message and it’s fine the CBS is the bearer of the news. The RNC are useless hacks too.

I have as much allegiance to the GOP as the GOP has allegiance to me.

None whatsoever.

What this means is that in 2024 America will probably elect a democrat. People will not keep their eye on the ball and conservatives will once again be under the boot of thugs and miscreants.

Because I know the GOP would Romney us in a second.

Romney: transitive verb. To stab in the back and tgen self-righteously assert that the victim deserved it.

It’s still possible that some credible conservative will emerge in 2024, but unlikely. The RNC establishment has been put on the sidelines for 2 elections, and they are going to want to control who gets the nomination after President Trump has finished his second term. They will almost certainly elect some gutless hack, who will turtle at the first sign of pressure from the media.

The entire history of the GOP is one of weakness and appeasement. Yes, the RINOs are the most obvious symptom but the disease in the party goes deeper than that.

The GOP is, for the most part, a fake party that has no real convictions, beliefs, or principles. A party that stands for nothing basically.

The GOPis the useless party....I voted for Rubio the first time...will never vote for him again..

If Trump wins in 2020 he needs to take over the party and change its name

GOP at the state level is pretty good in some states..not on the federal level

I watched Rove and his white board on Faux the other day.
He still has no idea what is going on.

The GOP is a soulless party that routinely sells out its voters.

Imagine what Trump could accomplish with just a little help from the GOP.

DUH!!!

Trump offers a HUGE opportunity for the GOP... but it really, really, really needs to wake up....

IF they follow Trump’s lead and learn from him and simply put AMERICA FIRST.... They will be the dominant party for decades... unfortunately though, they seem incapable or unwilling to realize this...

The GOP is often referred to as the Stupid Party but what it really is is the Sell Out Party.
