Nwe Hampshire is a pretty liberal state. It didn’t used to be, but it got invaded by refugees from The People’s Republic of Taxachusetts (and some from Vermont.)
It’s surprising that an unabashed conservative like Ted Cruz did as well as he did. Especially with the media (even the “conservative” media) trying to make sure he didn’t.
I like Cruz, but don't think that he has that crossover appeal that Trump has to get these states in play. In spite what a lot of Cruz supporters are saying, Trump's platform is fairly conservative. It is true that Cruz is more conservative, but in my mind, he is less electable.
