In addition, almost 60% of New Hampshire voters now see Donald Trump as inevitable Republican Presidential Nominee:
BOSTON HERALD – […] Trump has a massive 25-point advantage over his nearest rival Cruz while Sanders has grown his lead over Clinton to a 57-37 percent margin , according to the poll of likely Granite State primary voters conducted Jan. 26-30.

Trump's popularity has remained steady in the Granite State, with 56 percent of GOP voters saying they hold a favorable view of the billionaire business mogul. (read more)
How do you explain South Carolina?
Well must to be fair to you Trump I’d going to win SC, NV the SEC and FL. :-)
I was a comedy show (jeff dunham) in Portland Me this afternoon... a very liberal city. Lots of political jokes... as somewhat negative response to Hillary jokes...
But people cheered when trump was mentioned...
Not surprising.
WOW! Go TRUMP!
Not that it matters, NH is a meaningless little stateYea no candidates in their right mind would ever even try to win there.

When it comes to debates, our two weakest candidates, Huckabee and Santorum, have delivered stellar performances every time.
No the New York liberal will win NH.
They should rename it “Red Hampshire”.
Well, you’re right to a point, but who would have thunk it.
Carl Ichon. At Treasury! Excellent!
If we might agree that national security interests are the prime mover in this election, who’s to say that one of the superb 5 Star generals who have been run off, by Obama, might not make a good fit in a TRUMP cabinet.
TRUMP has already on many occasions guaranteed he will bring smart, qualified and successful individuals in to rebuild the military and the economy, both of which are TRUMP’s highest domestic priorities, because these things alone will go a long way toward solving the problems Obama has caused to bring about our impending domestic collapse.
These people are doers and admittedly not naval gazers, never ruminating on the emotional fire starters, but actually performance minded achievers. Perhaps, to a fault, but things will be blown up and replaced with sanity, hopefully, starting with law and order for the fascists and for our southern border.
There will be much kicking and screaming.... from all of the right people.
And based on the past weekâs performance, itâs unlikely those three big donors will throw good money after bad.I don't think that's as big a factor as the citizenship doubt. Even if he won the nomination there will always be doubt he's eligible.
THAT is an historic change, for sure!!! That is what Rudy was saying the other night. TRUMP will win states in the Northeast that Republicans for years only dream of winning.
It is so nice not have that white knuckle feeling this year!
You know, where you want your guy to win, but in your gut you know he isn’t going to, or you see the polling that keeps you hanging on a thin thread that he can pull it off.
I think TRUMP owns this whole election from top to bottom, all the way to Inauguration Day. It is a very good feeling.
A God-send, I believe. No one else could hope to pull this off.
TRUMP 2016
It’s all about illegal immigration. It has been about illegal immigration from day one.
I feel EXACTLY the same way!!! My gut tells me he WILL win!! He will NOT let himself lose and it is a GREAT feeling indeed!!! MSM is PUSHING Rubio REALLY hard this evening GOP-e at its best!!!!
You said it in a nutshell, when Reagan gave amnesty people have been flooding over our boarders the elite DON’T want to hear it I WANT A DAMN WALL!!! I am in CA. I am sick to death of EVERYTHING being in Spanish you must be bilingual to get a job almost ANYWHERE!!!
Woooooh. Thank you, bob! Things may tighten before Tedlit even *gets* to Florida.
Blow out polls and victories for TRUMP in NH and South Carolina would certainly begin to seal the TRUMP deal.
I wonder if Cruz even can hold TEXAS on Super Tuesday. He leads I think, last I heard, by only five in TEXAS.
You must be like me!
I've "officially" been a registered Democrat since 1959.

Folks from NH are an independent bunch. Bitch slapping Fox resulted in a gain for Trump.
I respect your belief in Trump’s intentions; if he wins the general, I hope you’re right.
decades of elections have made me a total cynic I suppose.
Trump’s narcissism is troubling to me. the current president is such a person. JMO.
I am WITH you, Kit cat!!
