Elections 2016 New Hampshire Primary Discussion

[Diamond Jim]

Cruz betting Bush, Rubio and Christie is a pretty good result for him.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

There has been 600 votes seperating Cruz and Bush from 40% of the precincts reporting, to the current 64%.

Pretty surprising.

Cruz betting Bush, Rubio and Christie is a pretty good result for him.

Yeah, NH isn't a Cruz type state, 3rd would be a great finish for him.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Yeah, NH isn't a Cruz type state, 3rd would be a great finish for him.

VERY good overall.

I was off in my prediction on the 1st page, but finishing 3rd in NH infront of those three is still a victory when you keep in mind how the state isn't Cruz's targeted audience.

 

[bad seed]

Cruz betting Bush, Rubio and Christie is a pretty good result for him.

the real winner tonight is Jeb. sure, he only beat Rubio by 1%, but 4th place gives his donors a glimmer of hope. Keep your chin up, Jeb.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Closer to 800 votes between Cruz and Bush now, with 65% in.

Um..... no.

Assuming the supporters would coalesce around 1 candidate, Kasich, Bush, Rubio, Christie beats either cruz or Trump.

 

[Diamond Jim]

Christie already cancelled his S.C. events.

 

[ncordless]

Um..... no.

I think so. Bush is most viable establishment candidate at this point, however flawed he is.

Christie will be the next gone. We'll gave to see who drops after SC. This may drag out too long to beat Cruz or Trump.

 

[VivaRevolution]

Is he? If he can become competitive with blacks and unions he's got this thing.

I'm union, and a pretty major one at that, and our local is in near revolt over the International not supporting Bernie. At least the people who actually show up to the meetings are.

We will see. If Rubio can't rebound in SC, he may be Perry-style texas toast.

Yeah this what I hear too. We will see in Nevada

 

[GearSolidMetal]

No.

He got 2.8% of the votes in Iowa, and now 11% in NH. And in the polls for SC he has an average of 10%.

Not even close.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

600 votes STILL seperate Cruz and Bush with 70% of the precincts in.

This is astonishing.

 

[Satanical Eve]

Hillary Clinton thinks voters are so stupid she can pee on their shoes and tell them it's rain.

 

[fightfan2355]

I know some people, they're the finest people. We're gonna be so strong, so strong. Believe me.

He's appealing to absolute rocks. I mean at some point, these people have to hear other politicians actually talking about policy specifics and ask themselves why Trump is constantly vague.

 

[speakhandsforme]

No.

He got 2.8% of the votes in Iowa, and now 11% in NH. And in the polls for SC he has an average of 10%.

Not even close.

He would seem to be the best horse to back for the establishment. The chances of Rubio making it through fifty states without completely ruining his electability on the basis of being a moron is extremely low. At the very least, Bush is intelligent, articulate, and can qualify his talk with experience.

I guess you could say Kasich instead. Either way, it still surprises me how shitty Jeb is doing. The guy has the likability/accessibility of his brother and comes off as being much smarter.

 

[ncordless]

No.

He got 2.8% of the votes in Iowa, and now 11% in NH. And in the polls for SC he has an average of 10%.

Not even close.

As compared to who? He's not running against Trmp and Cruz right now. He's running against Rubio, Christie, and Kasich. Which of those three has a better shot than Bush at this point? Maybe if Rubio can rebound in sc, but otherwise its going to be Bush, Cruz, Trump heading into the meat of the schedule.
