Yeah, I Know, New Hampshire

Trump just won New Hampshire, 54% to 43% over Nikki Haley.

Joe Biden got about 65% on the Democratic side as a write-in. (The Democratic Party does not recognize the NH primary, and Biden was not on the ballot)

I am not sure what to make of this, except to note that Nikki Haley's 43% in 2024 is better than Eugene McCarthy's 42% in 1968.

I think that Trump will get the nomination, and I hope that Haley goes after him hammer and tongs, particularly over the rumors of tertiary syphilis, but I really do not expect her to last more than 6 weeks.

On the Democratic side, Dean Phillips face planted, that what it is when you are out-polled 3:1 by a writ-in candidate, (he got less than 20%) and Marianne Williamson polled behind not-Biden write-ins, (>5%) so stick a fork in it it, their campaigns are done.

I am a bit bummed that Vermin Supreme polled only ½%.  I was hoping that he would break the 1% barrier.

Vermin Supreme should never have given up wearing the Hulk fist on his crotch. It balanced out the rubber boot on his head.
