I never paid obamacare EVEN when obamatard was prez. Not one letter from the irs etc. to pay up. I laughed at freepers many years ago on FR crying when it passed.

So in 2022 this popular governor will have been in office ten years?

If he’s be replaced by another Republican as governor, he should consider challenging the Democrat Senator who won a first term in 2016.

NH should be a Red state. The poison bleeds in from MA.

They’d better start cleaning up their voter rolls and election laws. And kick Dominion Software out.

[Then why did NH go blue for POTUS?]


Same reason ME re-elected Collins but rejected Trump. That’s the reason Sununu kept his distance.

The analogy is to Susan Collins, whom some have said is somehow an enemy of the Trump agenda. IMHO, Collins is not at odds with Trump. It’s a pose. Lying is something politicians have to do to keep their jobs when their constituents disagree with them.

Some Freepers say Collins is no different from a Democrat. If she were, they wouldn’t run anyone against her or spend $100m* trying to take her out that could have been used elsewhere. Without her, ME would be solid blue. She’s a wily political operator, and more conservative than all Democrat senators except for Manchin. But Manchin is in a solid red state that has Republicans in pretty much all statewide offices and gave Trump a 45% margin. (So he’s somewhat moderate just to survive politically). Whereas Trump lost Maine, underperforming Collins by 7%. By Maine standards, Collins is so right-wing, she might as well be Barry Goldwater and Joe McCarthy rolled into one. Yet she keeps winning.

I think people forget that in one man, one vote systems, pols are elected to be followers of the popular will, not leaders. Alexander the Great could lead because he could kill** anyone who disagreed. Pols in democratic systems cannot. Collins is far more conservative than her electorate. Manchin is far more liberal. In each of their ways, both are excellent water carriers for their respective parties.

** And when he died, his entire clan was wiped out - mother, wife, kids, et al.

Wow. That’s some lower house of the legislature with 407 members. Based on a population of 3M, I make that as 1 rep for about every 3,194 constituents.
Most county supervisors have a higher ratio

The Biden and Biden only fraud was super obvious in New Hampshire.

Trump really won New Hampshire—but it would take a forensic audit of the Biden only ballots to prove it.

All state-wide Repubs kicked a$$. In all the national races the Repubs (President, Senator and 2 Reps) vastly underperformed the Repub governor. Sununu got about 510k votes and Trump got 365k. (About 30% less!). My county is usually deep red and visible Trump support everywhere. Biden even carried this. There is not doubt in my mind we were hacked. Sununu’s are close to Bush’s. I smell a rat!

The NH electorate is not Maine’s. Unless there has been a monumental shift in the last 2 years

Another overlooked state Trump was way ahead in.

Wow, why in the world does a tiny state like NH have over 400 state legistators? That’s like 3500 people per rep! Live free or die my a$$!

Call your local election board and ask them for the election night numbers. Then compare to the state reported numbers for your area.

Last time I looked NH only paid $300 per year to its reps. Most of them are retired because others have to work.

And yet, miraculously, not a single federal office in NH went to the Republicans (4 Stalinazi Demonrat-0 GOP) and Trump “miraculously” lost.

Hmm...

You should see our Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker. He is a rino’s rino. Not only did he not vote for Trump but he announced it to everybody.
