Here’s the greater point. Even if Trump manages to win a plurality victory in the New Hampshire Republican primary, the state is out of reach for him in the general election (as it was in 2016 and 2020). New Hampshire should be competitive for Republicans (GW Bush even carried it).
As Trey Gowdy recently observed, he can’t think of a single swing state lost by Trump in 2020 that will come back to him in 2024. DeSantis, on the other hand, has the capacity to expand the GOP vote to bring numerous states into play that are out of reach for Trump (PA, MI, WI, AZ, NV, GA, VA, NH).
I fully expect to villified now on FR for this common sense observation
A lot of Trump supporters know he is going to lose a general election. They don’t care.
NH is out of reach for ANY Republican.
Oh for sure. If the cult of trump finds anyone out of step, it’s a mortal sin.
Quoting Trey Gowdy. How low FR has sunk. Waxing eloquent with that arrogant omniscient demeanor, but ineffective.
