New Hampshire the totalitarian state. They will choose which candidates you are “allowed” to vote for.
There is this perpetual impression that the GOP establishment does not understand what has happened to its voters.
I no longer think this is true. They’re not stupid. They have examined the situation carefully and they do understand what has happened. The challenge they face is that what has happened will destroy their power. There is no way around this. And so now we will see just to what extent they will go to hold power.
If it were just the GOP establishment, I would suspect they would fold their tents and go off home to resume life outside politics. But it is not only the GOP establishment. They are just a portion of the Swamp. The entirety of the Swamp is so large that they cannot conceive of going off back home and having a life outside politics. I don’t think there are any limits at all to what will be tried to defend the Swamp.
An assassination attempt is almost guaranteed. Its success or failure will likely depend on the extent to which the security detail can be orchestrated pro Swamp.
