DeSantis was not in New Hampshire on Saturday, but his campaign said the Florida governor will be back in the Granite State before the primary on Tuesday..

Meanwhile, in Manchester, there were long lines in the cold outside the Southern New Hampshire University Arena for Trump's rally Saturday night.
In fact, the line was so long, some people who had tickets couldn't get in.
Recommended Battle of the Badges hockey game raises money for families of Lewiston shooting victims "We're leading in New Hampshire, but take nothing for granted because polls only matter if you get out and vote. You have to vote," Trump said.
Trump also used the polls, showing him up double digits, to take aim at his rivals.
"We're leading her by a lot. Ron is probably finished. He's probably finished. Sad. May he rest in peace," Trump said.

“Haley will do ok because of demcocrats who don’t have a primary can vote for her in the NH OPEN primary.”
The ones who identify as ‘Independent’ can vote in the Republican Primary, and they are twice as many as the ones who identify as ‘Democrat’, who cannot vote in the Republican Primary.
So you’re right, Haley will be propped up by THOUSANDS of Democrat votes (the ones calling themselves ‘independent’), and those voters have no intention of voting for anyone other than BIDEN in November.
Don’t let the Haley shills make you think otherwise.
There is entirely too much talk of who endorses whom and how negative nicknames are unseemly.
The Swamp is the Swamp. It is not and really never has been worthy of anything but contempt. Calling career politicians nasty names is exactly as it should be. These people deserve no admiration. None. Look at what they have accomplished — $34T in debt and it will be $36T by Election Day.
Get your heads re-aligned. Politics is changed forever by Trump. The norms HAVE FAILED. Why be courteous and respectful to Swamp Filth that have run up that debt?
And no, don’t wriggle around and say these people were never part of Washington. Yes, they were. They supported the various GOP congress critters from their state. They put their fingers in the wind to find out they better not announce how they would deal with $1.8T in FY2024 deficit.
Nor should they, actually, because politics is now about Drain the Swamp and anyone with a political career is part of what must drain.
No politican is going to be able to reform our entitlement programs. If you try to propose to do something about social security, you'll lose the next election.
Trump had an overflow crowd:
SNHU Arena
Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire
The SNHU Arena is an indoor events arena in Manchester, New Hampshire, and seats 9,852 for ice hockey, 11,140 for basketball and up to 11,770 for concerts.
Raise your right hand, if you hate American history.
>> anyone with a political career is part of what must drain.
I think it is okay to serve one term.
I started out wanting to support DeSantis.
His horrible performance on the campaign trail exposed all of his weaknesses and convinced me he was weak and lacked street smarts.
He was a typical Republican—snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.
Democrats always hated him—Republicans had to learn to do so.
maybe he will go to trump hat in hand and blame his strategy on his establishment republican buddies. He stands a chance of redemption if he simply renounces his allegiance to the Bush cabal et al.
Tell that to all the NH Dems who plan on voting for Haley in it...
Social Security Trust Fund is only $3 Trillion. It holds debt. It doesn’t borrow it. It only recently started running a deficit yearly which draws down that $3T, but that $3T is an asset, not debt.
The asset holds govt bonds. Those bonds are debt that was borrowed by the government — from the Trust Fund.
So no, nothing about Soc Sec is a portion of the $34T. The annual shortfall from Soc Sec is indeed part of the $1.8T deficit this year, but only because the Trust Fund rolls over bonds as they expire.
$36T by November. You think some sort of GOPe policy change is going to fix this? Not a chance. Rates are 5% and that’s a historically normal level. We have about 10 years of near 0 rates in that debt, the long term portion of it, but each year some of that rolls off. We were about 2% on the debt in 2022 and rates have risen. Long-term bonds mature and must be rolled over, at today’s higher rates.
We should be near 3% this year. On $34T — though the Fed’s portion of it is about $6T and they refund interest they collect.
$840B in interest. That ain’t gonna be fixed by . . . anything. Fighting over $50B in continuing resolutions is stupid. That’s not going to fix anything. And no, it’s not a good first step. There are no steps. First or otherwise.
We'll just pay more in taxes and yes, we'll borrow more.
At some point, we'll have to inflate our currency just like Argentina.
But we will make sure we'll be able to pay for all of our welfare.
Nikki’s only chance, and Ron DeSantis too, is for Trump to have “a little accident,” Like a “Bird Strike” on Trumpforce One, Or a bad burder, or a Nut Case Iranian who will shoot him for taking out Solimani. That’s a Liberal Neo-Con Dream—Two fer—get rid of Donald and get war with Iran and Russia. Nikki will get the GOP slot and Biden will win. He will get to play Herbert Hoover in the coming crash and Jefferson Davis in the coming Civil War.
Taxes can never rise to that level.
GDP is a formula. GDP = C + I + G + (X - M)
Consumption, Investment, Govt Spending, (exports - imports).
You can spend your way to GDP, but taxes reduce Investment.
There is no answer. This is the fundamental truth that no one can talk about or accept and certainly not campaign on.
It always cracks me up that DeSantis who has zero Bush officials working on his campaign or in his administration is accused of being a tool of the Bush cabal by people who are supporting a man who filled his ENTIRE administration with former Bush lackeys.
Trump is my man for President.
DeSantis is my man for governor. Combined with a conservative FL legislature, they’ve done a fabulous job that has the Left howling.
Did you know 50% of the people in the Iowa Caucus that voted for her said they plan to vote for Biden in the general election.
laugh away. Who do you think has been backing him and advising him then?
Oh, hey guys!
Sorry for the late response. Been kind of busy and all - also wanted to wait and see who else wanted to flame me over the ‘open primary’ in New Hampshire thing. I believe the comments ranged from “do my research”, “get educated” and (paraphrasing) “Look things up before posting”. Duly noted.
Instead, I’ll use my working experience as a ballot inspector for both general and primary elections in Manchester, NH since 2015 (that’s almost 8 years), if that’s ok with you...
Also, if you have been following my writings of the past, I have covered vote fraud ad-nauseum - especially mail-in-voting. It comes from my being at ground-zero on all this mess. With that said, allow me to explain...
At best, with all things fair, a Dem has 10 days prior to GO TO THE CLERK’S OFFICE IN YOUR VOTING DISTRICT and change their party affiliation. This is a known tactic to us in the Granite State GOP ranks, but it never really amounts to enough to push anyone over the top. This rule does NOT make it an open-primary. I’ll explain how to cheat below. Keep reading...
And about that out-of-state voting by mass-holes and the gun-toting lesbians of Vermont, you have to show valid ID to vote in NH. All those NH ‘voting experts’ did tell you that, right? Now, if you wanted to pop over with a state address and change your residency, that deadline was back in October. If you recall, even more than 10 days ago, there was more than one GOP candidate running against #45. In fact, there will be several GOP names still on the ballot tomorrow. So if the Haley camp had the idea of pulling this off, they should have started long ago, and registrars are showing that only a small percentage have done so.
[NOTE: I have witnessed folks from out-of-state voting, but in most cases, you’ll need a fake NH Drivers license to pull that off. more on that below.]
How To Cheat in NH Primaries.
1. Absentee/Mail-In Voting: I won’t get into that here as it delves into another subject, which I’ll save for a more lengthy article for the general election.
2. Some dishonest person(s) handing out fake driver’s licenses to out-of-state voters at the respective clerk’s office. Of course, it requires a fake address, but that’s accomplished by using the address if an apartment complex with a fake unit number (literally impossible to check against a voting street map)
3. Dishonest person(s) working the polling tables. So a DEM walks into the polling place on election day wanting to switch parties to UND in order to vote GOP. Then a dishonest person working at the registration table doesn’t bother checking their current registration status and says “sure, just fill out this form right here”.
AND/OR
Then, when walking up to the line to get their chip/ticket (we hand out blue ones for a dem ballot, red for GOP, white for LP - if there are candidates). Then the person behind the desk (ballot inspector) then checks the name against the address and... (wait for it) party affiliation.
Let’s pause here for a minute: You wanna take a guess on how many times I have turned away someone who has walked up to me in NH after showing me their ID wanting to vote in the OTHER primary? (remember, we check their ID again when the walk up to the voting desk - and yeah, a lot of folks hate having to show their ID twice)
Answer: I lost count. But if there was someone there who is [not me] and managed to get away with it without the moderator noticing, good luck.
After we hand the voter the appropriate chip/ticket, then walk to the voting area where someone takes that chip/ticket in exchange for the proper ballot. If you have a dishonest person(s) in that chain, you could possibly get away with it.
Lastly, I can tell you first hand that attempting these stunts in NH doesn’t sit well with the NH GOP. Even with the governor’s endorsements of such actions, it will politically ensure that Haley will get NO support from the grassroots GOP. We’ve seen these moves before (e.g., they tried this in 2020 to water down primary support for #45. Go take a look at the results).
The key is the voter ID thing that throws them off. It seems easy if that aspect of NH voting (or the entire overall process) isn’t mentioned in the article.
So if you (or anyone else) would like to know what screws over republicans the most in NH primary and general elections, it can be boiled down to two words: TURN OUT.
The dems have a machine that rolls out for every election; making sure elderly can get rides to the voting place, get-out-the-vote drives, etc. All this while the GOP spams my phone with push polling, fund-raising drives and ‘please attend my up-coming rally at either the SNHU center or their arena downtown. #45 packs ‘em in, and the others don’t. This is why you see all the local politicos glad-handing at these events. But the GOP in NH absolutely SUCKS at primary turn outs.
Hope that helps, and if you happened to be from NH, I’ll see you at the polls tomorrow. And hopefully the phone spamming stops until October.
just my $0.02.
jimjohn - OUT.
