Last night Trump suggested everyone vote for the weakest Democrat today. If I understand correctly, New Hampshire is an open primary, so cross voting is an option.

Surprising that no one has mentioned in in the news I am streaming this evening. Maybe that will be in the overnight analysis.

Operation Chaos from Wiki:

In late February 2008, Limbaugh announced "Operation Chaos," a political call to action with the initial plan to have voters of the Republican Party temporarily cross over to vote in the Democratic primary and vote for Hillary Clinton, who at the time was in the midst of losing eleven straight primary contests to Barack Obama.[119] Limbaugh has also cited the open primary process in the early primary states of New Hampshire and South Carolina, which allowed independent voters to cross over into the Republican primaries to choose John McCain over more conservative candidates (such as Fred Thompson), as an inspiration.[120]

At the point in which Limbaugh announced his gambit, Obama had seemed on the verge of clinching the Democratic nomination.[121] However, Clinton subsequently won the Ohio primary and the Texas primary (while losing the Texas caucus and the overall delegate split) with large pluralities from rural counties; thus reemerging as a competitive opponent in the race.[122]

Operation chaos: OPEN Primaries (which is a stupid idea we’re stuck with)

But it’s what they wanted, so.....

Go vote for their worst candidate.

That Republican voters cross over and vote for the weakest Democrat.

President Trump said he couldn’t specify which candidate, since they’re all weak.
