Getting Another Feeling About Tuesday: Trump Will Finish in Second Place (or lower) Thanks to His Sloppy Handling of the New Hampshire Debate

Trump’s true colors shown through at the New Hampshire debate, and he was getting booed by rank and file Republicans.  They didn’t seem too impressed with his entertainment act.  That debate was almost painful to watch…almost.

Prediction time: I have no idea who will win the state for the GOP side, but I’m getting the feeling that it won’t be Trump.  I think he’s going to finish in second place (or lower).   First place could be Rubio, or Cruz.

On the Democratic side, I think Sanders will take New Hampshire.  Democratic voters there seem to be in sync with his message, and Clinton still has major trust issues.

It may be that she will be charged with a crime.  Her email problems seem to be getting worse by the day.

It’ll be very interesting to see if the national and New Hampshire polls have it right, or if Trump’s voters stay home in New Hampshire, like his followers in Iowa did. 

The polls in Iowa showed Trump leading Cruz anywhere from 3-9% just before the caucuses started.   New Hampshire polls are showing Trump leading by double-digits.   If Trump loses, he’s going to be crying foul even more than he did over Iowa.   I don’t think it’s going to be as easy a win as Trump thinks.

Should be interesting.
