[Verginius Rufus]

New Hampshire used to vote Republican in Presidential elections. From 1968 to 1988 it went Republican every time. In 1992 and 1996 Clinton carried it narrowly (his margin was less than the number of votes Perot got). In 2000 Bush carried it very narrowly--that kept Gore from becoming President.

It has gone Democrat every election from 2004 on, but the margins in 2004 and 2016 were very slim--Hillary probably won by fraud (her margin was less than 3,000 votes).

2016 was a murder suicide

Hillary won by 0.3 percent of the vote, 47.6 to 47.3, with Gary Johnson getting 4.1.

Hassan won by 0.2 percent of the vote, 48.0 to 47.8, with a right-of-center independent and the libertarian getting 4.1.

If Kelly Ayotte had simply gritted her teeth, and not dis-endorsed Trump, Trump would have won, and so would she (as few of Trump’s supporters would have defected to the minor candidates).

We’ll see what Ayotte does this time around.

As Benjamin Franklin said, we hang together, or we will hang separately.
