They gotta go somewhere, Bush and Kasich don't really look all that more palatable because they got a few more percentage points in a much less conservative state then any of the ones following in short order.

66% of republicans in NH, a fairly moderate state for republicans support a policy only trump will endorse. I think people are badly misreading this election.

He's been up by huge amounts since loving September dude, the narrative started to change when his polls dipped like, last week, and now it's back to what it was before. It's a good win, he needed a good win, but it's exactly the win he was supposed to have and the whole 'HILLARY GOT A SURPRISE SLAUGHTER' is just a media narrative.

He's not getting out until the non-Trump, non-Cruz has been anointed, that certainly isn't going to happen tonight.
