       New Hampshire proves 175,000 people can be wrong, along with
       polls & the press.

       Recent Primary voting in New Hampshire (population of 1.4
       million) had about 23% of the overall State population voting
       and Nikki Haley was within single digits of Heir Trump, and
       gained 9 delegates to 12 for Trump... hardly a "big win" as some
       have stated in the Press.
       And with Democrats & Republicans in the "minority" party to New
       Hampshire's large Independent Party, I think there's still hope
       that many will come out to cast their votes to hand Mr Trump his
       SECOND LOSS to President Biden
       With 3% of the vote not counted, and the fact that record
       numbers voted this Primary, Haley held her own, and showed the
       rest of the country that Trump hasn't got "anything in the bag"
       when it comes to the 2024 election.

       Perhaps the next Primary in South Carolina, and Super Tuesday
       voting, will bring an end to the Trump Cult, who somehow believe
       impeccable character & honesty don't matter when it comes to who
       should be watching over  "the free world". These folks believe
       Trump is a victim, and always tells the truth, despite ample
       evidence to the contrary.
       Facts & Truth don't seem to matter to Trump voters, because they
       don't matter to the leader of their cult, Heir Trump fails the
       fact-checking internet apps on any given day.
       The FACTS are simple, and the TRUTH is clear: Mr Trump is saying
       he's the candidate with only 32 of the 1215 delegates NEEDED to
       be called the winner.

       Nikki Haley was right to stay the course, there are 50
       Republican Delegates available in South Carolina, and Democrats,
       Republicans, & Independent voters can pick which Primary to vote
       in, only one vote allowed. Democrats caucus February 3, while
       Republicans can vote on February 24, a Saturday.
       For the next month we will probably see the best of Nikki Haley
       and the absolute WORST from Mr Trump, who will try name-calling
       & bully tactics to win over his weak-minded supporters, and
       those living in rural America watching FOX TV, because it's the
       ONLY station available. It's sad to watch, and believe me, we
       see it everyday here in central NY.
       And what can be said about that "other" candidate, the one from
       Florida who's head is so far up Trump's ass it hard to tell the
       two apart?
       It appears Mr DeSantis finally figured out that America is "not
       Florida", and he is NOT popular ANYWHERE. Most may see Ron D. as
       the ONLY State Governor who's embracing Mr Trump, and alao
       brown-nosing the disgraced, former president, in hopes of
       landing some job on Trump's future Insurrection Team. Trump is
       44th on the list of Best American Presidents, the list only has
       45 names so I'll let that fact sink in... DeSantis should know
       better but "blind ambition" will be his defense in years to
       come.
       You would think that the Republican Party would figure out that
       supporting a LOSER from the LAST presidential election isn't the
       best plan, but most are still afraid of the neighborhood
       "bully", and don't want to become the next target of Heir Trump.

       All this information and voting before it was announced that
       Trump has been fined $85M. I wonder how he's going to squirm out
       of that?
       Will have to sell that tacky place he has in Florida, you know,
       the one with everything painted in fake gold?
       How will he deal with all the other 91 lawsuits coming his way?
       He certainly won't have time for any presidential duties.
       I see interesting days ahead.

       What is the rest of America saying about the 2024 Presidential
       Election?

       And the rest of the country is also concerned about what States
       like Iowa & New Hampshire are doing. The "normal" thinking
       people see Mr. Trump for what he is, a "threat to our way of
       democratic life in America", while those caught up in the Trump
       Cult are defending them simply to try and "save face"  for
       supporting Trump in the first place or to emphasize their
       displeasure with the current administration, because Republicans
       on a whole want to support a possible Trump dictatorship over
       democratic rule in this Nation.
       Here's an excerpt from an AP News piece that the ECNA was
       interviewed for in California.

       One side fears what Trump has said he will do if he wins, while
       the other side is responding to the fear being created in a
       press & social media ecosystem.
       For some, the danger is more than Trump’s statements and concern
       over how he might turn toward authoritarianism. It also is
       what’s happening in the states and courts, where political
       gerrymandering and threats to voting rights are continuing, as
       are measures that limit people’s ability to vote easily, such as
       reducing drop box locations for mail-in ballots and tightening
       voter identification requirements.
       “Look at all the roadblocks that have been put up to keep
       people, especially people of color, from being able to vote,”
       said Pamela Williams, 75, of New York City, who identifies as a
       Democrat. “That isn’t democracy.”
       Douglas Kucmerowski, 67, an independent who lives in the Finger
       Lakes region of New York, is concerned over those state-level
       actions and the continued use of the Electoral College, which
       can allow someone to be president even if they lose the popular
       vote.
       He also questions the state of the nation’s democracy when a
       large proportion of the country supports a candidate facing
       multiple criminal charges who has spoken about pursuing
       retribution and using the military domestically, among other
       things.
       Trump also has lied about the outcome of the 2020 election,
       which has been affirmed by multiple reviews in the battleground
       states where he disputed his loss, and called his supporters to
       a Washington rally before they stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan.
       6, 2021, in a violent attempt to stop Congress from certifying
       Joe Biden’s win.
       That candidate, in any other age, probably would have been ruled
       out. But for some reason, in this society, he’s one of the best
       choices,” Kucmerowski said. “If this country is that confused
       that they can’t tell the difference between right and wrong and
       ex-presidents making statements that on day one he will be a
       dictator, doesn’t anybody care about day two or three or four
       when he’s still a dictator?”
       The poll of 1,074 adults was conducted Nov. 30 through Dec. 4,
       2023, using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based
       AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the
       U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all
       respondents is plus or minus 4.0 percentage points.
