When he had his town hall meeting and skipped the debate, she tweeted him saying "I'm free tonight Donald". Let's dispel this notion that Fiorina won't do what it takes to get that VP nom. She'll do exactly what it takes
Fiorina routinely mocks Trump on Twitter.
Look what she tweeted RIGHT AFTER that.
@CarlyFiorina My campaign offered to donate $2mm to veterans to debate @realDonaldTrump. I guess @MegynKelly isn't only one he's afraid to face tonight.

That's because both of them have business backgrounds, they're both ruthless, and they both have a mutual understanding that business isn't personal
i love that this has become a thing lol

I was thinking NH voters themselves. No true allegiance to any campaign, randomly switch parties. A peaceful land, a quiet people.

Oh yes. I need to see this.
I'm 20, middle-class, and in college. I can count the young Clinton supporters I know on two hands. The collegiate left has pretty solidly thrown itself behind Sanders, disregarding the race and gender divides seen among older voters.

Same for me. In fact, today in class, Gloria Stienem's comment came up, and a lot of the girls seemed really turned off by the Hillary campaign focusing on just supporting her because she's woman.

Fact:
He (his staffers) have spent a ton of time on college campuses in NH promoting his values.
Opinion:
He's taking advantage of those uninformed kids with his campaign promises. They understand "Democratic" an "Republican", but they really have no concept of what Bernie actually wants, which is almost true Socialism.
It's a good move or him to recognize this and take advantage of it, I mean, what college kid doesn't want to come out of school debt free?
I've heard similar complaints.
Isn't he nearing that point though? I thought I read he has a little under $1 million left.
I've said this before, but I think the idea that a lot of college-aged voters/young Bernie supporters have little to no memory of a Republican presidency is kind of fascinating to me.
It also irks me that, if history holds true, a lot of these same voters won't come back to the polls in 2018, effectively killing their own political revolution. That should be one of the big takeaways of the Obama era: if progressive liberals want to follow through on their hope and change ideals, they can't make voting a once-every-four-years thing.
Yeah, that's it Fiorina, he's afraid. In related news I just challenged Cam Newton to a football throwing competition on twitter and he didn't respond. GUESS HE'S AFRAID FOLKS SPREAD THE WORD.

Ah. Well I hadn't heard that. Then yeah, maybe he is on the verge of dropping. Unlike Fiorina, I could see him endorsing Trump.

Not really streamed, but below is the main NH news station that does a pretty good job following things:
http://www.wmur.com/
The biggest problem with this generation is the complete lack of engagement they really have with the political system and what it really means. They rely to heavily on social media and the mass media in general and do not pay enough attention to what the candidates actually stand for and what they actually want to do. These young people have not formulated their own opinions, they wait to have it driven into them and go with the popular choice more often than not. It's really kind of scary.
My father is heavy involved in state politics and he has tried to beat the far right into me for years and I think I have aggravated the crap outa him for staying independent for so long, lol.
I'm interested to see if this Bernie trend continues around the country. Just how mush time, has he spent on college campuses and how many of those kids has he gotten to come out and vote?

I'm glad to see that less and less people are falling for the "Vote for Hillary because she is a Woman" mentality.

So when will the coverage start? In Iowa it was at 7 central and they went into the caucus sites and did early polls and stuff, will there be anything like that here?

you could tell in Andrea Mitchell eyes, shes not too happy about the disproportionate amount of younger women going for bernie, understandably so.
I love this article. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...urprise-donald-trump-losing-would-be-a-shock/
You look at the Bernie poll chart and it's like "oh wow" then you look at Trump's... lol

I can't believe voting booths are still a thing in most of this country.
As a trump "fan", I wont say supporter just yet, even I will admit that if he doesn't win big in NH that it will be flat out devastating to his entire campaign. If he loses then I'll go ahead and say that it's over for him. If he doesn't win by at least double digits then it's very troubling and possibly damaging. He needs to win and win big tonight.
I'm not sure who I'm behind after him. It sure isn't Rubio and Cruz though, that's for sure. Either Christie or Kaisch. There is a part of me, deep down, that pulls for Jeb Bush after the beating he has taken. I actually feel sorry for him...when I put myself in his shoes, it has gotta suck bit time, haha.
Jeb Bush actually reminds me of Garry/Jerry/Larry/Terry Gergich from Parks & Recreation and has for a while now. That totally should be a meme of some sort for Jeb, it just fits so perfectly to me.

Sanders is going to schlong Hillary. 30% blowout!
At least Trump should get his groove back. And the fight for second should be really fun and fascinating. Glad I took Wednesday off.
Why is that unusual? The objective of the "voting booth" is privacy. Even if you're voting on a machine, sides are put up to make it 'booth-like' for privacy.
We vote exclusively by mail in Oregon, Washington, and Colorado. THAT is privacy. And in Oregon you're automatically registered to vote if you have a mailing address.
In all three of these states you can legally smoke a blunt and vote at the same time from your couch. Are other states even trying?

If Fiorina endorses Trump after what he called her it'd be the equivalent of;
Hilarious.
I feel like I'm the only NH Gaffer, lol.

I recently connected with a long lost sister of mine that my parents haven't seen or heard from in decades.
Imagine my shock and horror to find out she's a Clinton supporter. Not even out of policy. She has said openly and unapologetically that it's only because she's a woman. Don't discuss politics at your family reunions, folks.

Heh, people usually say this about their ultra conservative uncle or whatever. Not someone they probably agree with 95% of the time.
Lord that's the truth. I mean, it's fine if everyone can be levelheaded about it, but if even one person is a fanatic then stay away. In my family I think we have supporters of just about every candidate on both sides of the aisle, haha.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with this. Ok so she says it's not about policy. That may be true but at the same time, she knows who Hillary Clinton is. She's been in the forefront of American politics for decades. She knows shes not a complete loon, and has a lot of political experience.
I highly doubt most reasonable people that have this sentiment would vote for a horrible woman just because she's a woman.
But even then, it's not a requirement to care about politics in this country or to even vote, and yet, there is going to be a president regardless. I guess what I am saying is, if you don't care about the process at all, then voting for a woman because she is a woman makes sense, when you consider that there has never been one before because in their minds their vote is accomplishing something, history.

Another broken promise from Obama.
WTF? Did he really say that?
Yup totally. Right after he commented on why the PS4 is better than the Xbone.
I feel like a lot of people do want a woman president, they just don't want her.

Of course he did. That's all real. Just like Geodude.
Perspective, much? Nothing wrong with identity politics when you have two candidates who agree on 90% of the issues (and 99.9% of the issues that actually stand a chance of implementation).
"Shock and horror." Geez.
