DURHAM, N.H. --There is no change at the top of the Republican presidential field, but with less than three weeks remaining in the 2016 New Hampshire first-in-the-nation primary campaign, there is both a new runner-up and a tie for third place.

New York businessman Donald Trump, for the first time, has a 20 percentage point lead in the Granite State, according to the latest WMUR/CNN New Hampshire Primary Poll. But U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas has supplanted U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida in second place, while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has moved up to tie Rubio for third....

This is BS.Cruz may not be 2nd place in Iowa.Much less NH. Yesterday was his finished. We all know that. He will drop like Carson/perry/Fia RINO/ bush/ christie. Bye Canadian.

Who wins the Republican primary in CA is somewhat irrelevant because the state is an electoral lock for the dems.
I think Trump is going to have a tough time in a lot of states on the Left Coast.
Lots of Mexicans and GOPe types out there.
Florida on the other hand is different, Cubans love Trump.
It’s not irrelevant at the Republican convention.
You’ve been saying that for months now.

You can say that again.
Worked for John Madden.;-)
Cruz is already positioning for VP slot.
The media narrative that Trump has no ground game is totally false. He has Chuck Laudner, Sam Clovis, Ethanol Unions, Teamsters, local business owners and Iowa Governor at his disposal.
Interesting.
Last week’s NH poll Cruz beat Trump head to head by 7-8 points.
Which explains DT pulling out every nasty lie he can to try to take Cruz out.
:-))

Agreed, “weather” (I know, it's not “whether”) or not N.H. wants a populist semi-conservative who likely WOULD get elected, or a staunch conservative who's LESS-electable and would have an uphill battle to the end. I guess we're better off in either case, though given the eggshell opposition this time around (the Dims and their weak candidates), I'd rather see someone step up to the plate I align with more closely and swing away at the chance (likelihood) it's our time to get a strong conservative to home plate. I'm resigned to either outcome (but certainly not the 3rd outcome of a Dim doing a three-peat)
With Trump at 34, Cruz is at 14 while Bush and Rubio are at 10 each, which means Cruz is only marginally ahead of the two RINOs and WAY behind Trump. I don’t understand the cause for celebration.
The trend, my man, the trend.
