Response and Clarification to Chairman Ager About Our Closed Primary Resolution

October 10, 2023October 10, 2023 Op-Ed

The Republican State Committee Voted to Close the NH Republican Primary, So Why Isn’t It Closed?

October 6, 2023 Steve MacDonald

In January, the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, at its annual meeting, passed a resolution by majority vote to close the Republican primary. Only registered Republicans would be able to pick their nominees. So why, then, is it not closed?

Gentlemen, And Lady, Start Your Debate

August 22, 2023 Ray Cardello

Living in New Hampshire gives me early exposure to the Presidential Campaign Season. We have seen most of the candidates in the Granite State as they share their time between New Hampshire and Iowa. Most candidates must now be sick of Pulled Pork and Funnel Cakes.

Biden Won’t, and Was Never Going to, Be the Democrats’ Nominee

August 23, 2023August 16, 2023 Rob Roper

We are just over a week away from the first Republican primary debate, and Donald Trump was out there bragging how he’ll thrash Joe Biden this time. Candidate Nikki Haley is waving the flag that the real opponent they’re all running against is Vice President Kamala Harris, as Biden is likely to drop dead early-second term.

I Didn’t Think Jonah Goldberg Could Fall Any Further, but He Has

August 16, 2023 Steve MacDonald

We live in a world where elite capture by the Chinese Communist Party is a growing national security threat to America. One of their many tells is claiming something is a threat to The Demcoracy™. We hear it from The Left all the time, but how about from Jonah Goldberg?

The REAL GOP Primary Begins In Two Weeks

August 13, 2023 Ray Cardello

The first 2024 GOP Primary Debate is less than two weeks away, which will be the primary season kickoff. All of the posturing to this point has been the pre-fight weigh-in and stare-off. It has not really meant too much.

Mitt Romney - Screen Grab Romney US Senate

RINO Romney Says, Most of You Need to Get Out of the Primary Pool or Trump Walks Away with the Nomination

July 26, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Mittens, like most Uniparty Republicans, has his dander up over the prospect of another Trump nomination. It’s cute in an elitist sort of way. Trump is the only guy we know will stand up for Americans (how dare he!), and Romeny happens to have a former campaign advisor who sits on the board of Burisma.

Breaking: Kelly Ayotte Formally Announces Run for Governor of New Hampshire

July 24, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Another day another elite New Hampshire Rino announces that they’d like to replace outgoing elite NH RINO Chris Sununu, and this one is no surprise. Former US Senator Kelly Ayotte’s interest in the job has been known or at least speculated for months. She is in.

DeSantis Losing in New Hampshire, Polling Updates, and a Question for Republicans* That Won’t* Vote for Trump

June 26, 2023June 26, 2023 Steve MacDonald

As we approach the July 4th Weekend, the polls that didn’t seem to mean much – or perhaps “shouldn’t be taken seriously” – are beginning to mean a lot more, and that’s a problem for Ron DeSantis. He was doing better when they didn’t appear to mean much.

May 29, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial “beginning” of summer and the day we honor our war dead. It is deeply meaningful, especially in the lead-up to choosing a commander-in-chief, so we thought it an excellent time to run our first 2024 pre-primary presidential poll.

Who Can Turn This Ship Around

Liz Cheney is Polling Better Than Chris Sununu in a Theoretical Republican Presidential Primary

April 1, 2023March 31, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Despite repeatedly saying nasty things about President Trump and pimping himself out on cable news, when you say Chris Sununu to the average American, they have no idea who that is. That’s probably why disgraced Liz Chaney is polling better than Sununu in a theoretical 2024 presidential primary.

Post-Primary NH Republicans Should Look to the Royal Family

September 15, 2022 Ray Cardello

This Republican Senate race in New Hampshire was not supposed to be this close. According to the polls, Bolduc had a comfortable advantage. But then the games began. Republican money came into the race for Morse, and Democrat money was placed on Bolduc. You read that right.

September 15, 2022 Steve MacDonald

I was culling my email this morning when I stumbled on something from John Fredricks. It is an interview, a conversation really, between John and Steve Bannon about the Republican primary results in New Hampshire and what they mean.
