Probably because a lot of NYers and NJ transplants have moved here to NH in the last five years. Since covid they were al,ost as many of them as Massholes.
Perhaps so...
I work in an office/trading floor where everyone is on 100% straight Commission. This tends to be people that are self motivated. We are also mostly conservative or Republicans in general. Very few Democrats.
However, even a lot of these men(not the women) do NOT like Trump. They think he is an A$$hole. They would rather not vote for him. They do not like Biden either. Most do not follow politics as close as I do. My point is that Trump has turned off a lot of Republicans that voted for Reagan, Bush, Bush and Trump the first time around. These people may end up voting for Christy, Pence, Vivek, Scott or someone else in the NH primary.
