Trump won my NH town in 2016 and 2020.
In the 2024 primary, he won the town with 1150 votes - but Haley had 1008. I know a lot of those Republican Haley voters - and they are never, never, never going to vote for Trump in the Fall.
*******************
Why does your town have so many Republicans who are anti Trump malcontents?
I don’t understand these people......at all.
I did a lot of research on Nikki voters.
Only about a third of them are registered Republicans.
If you include Republican leaning Independents that is probably another third.
Most are women—and they tend to be prosperous older women.
You are most likely to find them in college towns or centers of government (like state capitals).
They may be fiscally conservative but they are squishy on social issues like abortion or illegal immigration or even crime since they live in communities with low crime and no significant number of illegal aliens.
In a state like NH there is no illegal alien problem, crime rates are low (Whitopia), the economy is good—so they do not connect to the issues that we are concerned about....
Two more comments on why the Nikki voters like the economy:
—They own homes that have appreciated in value and either have no mortgages or got the old low interest rate mortgages so their housing situation is solid.
—They have retirement accounts so they have done well with the recent runup in the stock market.
The old saying—”Where you sit determines where you stand.”
They like the status quo.
Trump won my county in 2016 and 2020. He will it again along with the Presidency in 2024! If the Democrats win ,we are finished as a free nation.
