New Hampshire 2024 Primary Results Thread (Take Me To Fückery Town -- The Trump vs. Haley Showdown)

[Rapmastermind]

So Nikki Haley actually got almost 46%. All things considered that was way better than most polls had her at. Trump is only projected to win by 8 points in a head to head with Nikki. Mind you this is after almost Half of Iowans voted against Trump in the previous contest. Him winning isn't a big deal, he's a defacto incumbent. He's suppose to win. But when you dig into the numbers, they show plenty of Republicans not wanting him to be the nominee which shows the enthusiasm gap. He is not going to be bringing everyone into the fold. Trump also lost Independents to Nikki which doesn't look good for the general. Trump has a base, but that base is not the majority. Republicans just can't put the pipe down. They're not even Republicans anymore, they are Trumplicans. Nikki staying in will further show the divide in the party. Plenty do not want Trump as the nominee and the anti-Trump vote will continue to grow. (Democrats, Independents, Defected Republicans)

The cruelty is the point.

As Joe Biden acknowledged on Tuesday night, Donald Trump now has the Republican presidential nomination sewn up. But like a Roman emperor or mob boss, Trump used his victory speech in New Hampshire to humiliate his former opponents – and make sinister threats against his last primary rival.

The former US president had followed up his record win in the Iowa caucuses with victory over Nikki Haley, his former ambassador to the UN, with a double-digit triumph in less favourable political territory. As Republican politicians and donors scramble to jump aboard the Trump train, it is clearly game over for the Never Trumpers.

Trump could have been magnanimous in victory and congratulated Haley on a race well run. Instead, he was palpably irked by her refusal to drop out of the race. Petty and vindictive, he became a playground bully punching down for the benefit of an audience that glories in metaphorical violence.

Addressing a crowded hotel ballroom in Nashua, he gave Haley a dark warning: “Just a little note to Nikki. She’s not going to win. But if she did, she would be under investigation by those people in 15 minutes, and I could tell you five reasons why already.

“Not big reasons, little stuff that she doesn’t want to talk about, that she will be under investigation within minutes, and so would Ron [DeSantis] have been, but he decided to get out.”

There were echoes of political operative Lee Atwater or Roger Stone’s dirty tricks campaigns, or Trump senior campaign aide Chris LaCivita’s Swift Boat veterans takedown of John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election. It was also redolent of Trump’s own vicious attacks on Senator Ted Cruz’s wife and father (whom he baselessly linked to the John F Kennedy assassination) in 2016.

But Trump has plenty of humiliation to serve around, even to people on his own side. He invited former opponent Vivek Ramaswamy to speak but only “if he promises to do it in a minute or less” (admittedly, given Ramaswamy’s fiendishly irritating debate performances, many will take Trump’s side on that one).

Then there was Senator Tim Scott, another ex-rival who has already debased himself with a fawning endorsement of Trump. With his unerring ability to get under people’s skin, he said to Scott that, since former South Carolina governor Haley appointed him to the Senate, “You must really hate her.”

There was an awkward silence in the room and a rare grunt of dissent from someone. To rescue the situation, Scott stepped forward to the lectern, looked at Trump and grovelled: “I just love you!” The crowd exhaled in relief. Scott was the hapless father in The Godfather who had accepted: “For justice, we must go to Don Corleone.”

Like Chris Christie in 2016, Scott has surrendered his principles to the inevitability of Trump. Haley now stands alone in a Republican party that belongs to him. Did she ever have a chance? Perhaps she could have done more to make it a choice rather than a coronation.

Haley could have emphasised her spouse’s military record and gone after Trump on his description of fallen solders as “losers” and “suckers”. She could have celebrated her identity as a daughter of Indian immigrants to contrast herself with Trump’s bigotry, nativism and racism. She could have played up her gender and what masterstroke it would be for Republicans, not Democrats, to produce America’s first female president after nearly 250 years.

She could also have been more forceful in making the electability argument, taking her cue from Christie who hammered Trump over his defeat in election after election.

But none of these are deemed viable in today’s party. Instead, when Haley did go bold and against the grain, it was on foreign policy, ardently pro-Israel and anti-Russia, and constantly bashing China. It was never going to win many extra votes but it was sure to alienate the isolationist “America First” wing of the party, personified by Ramaswamy.

Other flashes of courage arrived too little too late. Early on Tuesday Haley appeared on Fox News’s Fox & Friends and said, bluntly, she did not know if they would “tell the truth” about her campaign. Later, in her concession speech, she pushed the electability argument: “The worst-kept secret in politics is how badly the Democrats want to run against Donald Trump.”

If it was such a badly kept secret, why not shout it from the rooftops months earlier?

But like many bullies, Trump’s ostentatious show of strength was motivated by inner weakness. Haley did well enough among independents to raise red flags for Republicans in the general election.

The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group, commented: “It’s clear that Trump is political poison to moderates. Sane and moral republicans said their conscience won’t allow them to vote for a chaos-driven maniac who is under 91 criminal counts, a proven sexual predator, and authoritarian wannabe who will shred the constitution and burn this country down.”

Biden, meanwhile, won the unsanctioned Democratic primary without even being on the ballot. He, not Trump, was the winner of the night when judging how things will play out in November.

Trump rules by fear in his party but lacks the love of his nation. For many voters, it is not love but loathing.

The key candidates dueling it out in New Hampshire:

Republicans – the favorites​

Donald Trump

The former US president’s campaign to retake the White House and once again grab his party’s nomination got off to a slow start that was widely mocked. But after a decisive win in Iowa his campaign has steadily moved into a position of dominance and never looked likely to be dislodged from that.

Trump declined to attend any of the Republican debates, has used his court appearances and many legal woes as a rallying cry to mobilize his base, and has run a surprisingly well-organized campaign. His extremist rhetoric, especially around his plans for a second term and the targeting of his political enemies, has sparked widespread fears over the threat to American democracy that his candidacy represents.

His political style during the campaign has not shifted from his previous runs in 2016 and 2020 and, if anything, has become more extreme. Many see this as a result of his political and legal fates becoming entwined with a return to the Oval Office being seen as Trump’s best chance of nixing his legal problems.

Nikki Haley

The former South Carolina governor and ex-US ambassador to the UN under Trump has mostly hewed a fine line between being an alternative to Trump, while not outraging his base with too much direct criticism.

That has paid off as Haley has shone in debates and worked hard on the campaign trail and risen in the polls to give her a shot at coming second in Iowa and causing an upset in New Hampshire – where she is polling strongly. However, that prominence has now earned Trump’s ire and the two campaigns are openly hurling insults at each other.

Other Republicans running​

Ryan Binkley

Binkley, a Texas businessman, is a long-shot candidate who is also a pastor at Create church. The self-proclaimed far-right fiscal conservative criticized both Democrats and Republicans for not being able to balance the federal budget, and said he would focus on health costs, immigration reform and a national volunteer movement.

Democrats​

Dean Phillips

Dean Phillips, a three-term Democratic congressman from Minnesota, is challenging Biden, saying the next generation should have the opportunity to lead the country. Phillips is the heir to a distilling company and once co-owned a gelato company. He entered public office spurred by fighting back against Trump.

Marianne Williamson

Failed 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, who also unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the US House of Representatives in 2014, became the first Democratic candidate to announce she is running for president as a challenge to Biden. Williamson, an author of self-help books, launched her long-shot bid with campaign promises to address climate change and student loan debt. She previously worked as “spiritual leader” of a Michigan Unity church.

@ Marianne Williamson...I thought she was somewhere on shrooms meditating.

So Nikki Haley actually got almost 46%. All things considered that was way better than most polls had her at. Trump is only projected to win by 8 points in a head to head with Nikki. Mind you this is after almost Half of Iowans voted against Trump in the previous contest. Him winning isn't a big deal, he's a defacto incumbent. He's suppose to win. But when you dig into the numbers, they show plenty of Republicans not wanting him to be the nominee which shows the enthusiasm gap. He is not going to be bringing everyone into the fold.

They're not even Republicans anymore, they are Trumplicans. Nikki staying in will further show the divide in the party. Plenty do not want Trump as the nominee and the anti-Trump vote will continue to grow. (Democrats, Independents, Defected Republicans)

The party is not going to be divided. New Hampshire is about as bad as it can get for Trump. Once the campaign moves to more traditional Republican states, Haley will get stomped by massive margins.

Remember when Bill Ackman pushed out a fake poll showing his paid candidate Dean at 30% in NH? How did that work out...

Trump warns Haley donors will be ‘permanently barred from the MAGA camp’​

BY SARAH FORTINSKY - 01/24/24 10:15 PM ET

Former President Trump on Wednesday railed against GOP primary opponent Nikki Haley and warned that anyone who contributes to her campaign would be “permanently barred from the MAGA camp.”

“When I ran for Office and won, I noticed that the losing Candidate’s ‘Donors’ would immediately come to me, and want to ‘help out.’ This is standard in Politics, but no longer with me,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform.

“Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp. We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!” Trump continued, using the nickname “Birdbrain,” to refer to Haley.

Trump’s direct threat against Haley’s supporters signals a sharpening in his rhetoric, as the former president seeks to compel support from all corners of the GOP.

Trump beat Haley in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday by 11 points — a significant edge over his former United Nations ambassador, but closer than his dominant lead in many polls in recent months.

Trump attacked Haley in his election-night speech Tuesday, as he stood in front of two former primary opponents and pressured Haley to suspend her campaign.

“I have to tell you — it was very interesting, because I said, ‘Wow what a great victory,’ but then somebody ran up to the stage all dressed up nicely when it was at 7, but now I just walked up, and it was at 14,” Trump said, mocking Haley for the positive tone of her remarks to supporters after the race was called in his favor.

“Let’s not have somebody take a victory when she had a very bad night. She had a very bad night,” Trump said.

Later, he added that he couldn’t let his former United Nations ambassador “get away with bulls—.”

In recent weeks, Trump has managed to gain numerous high-profile endorsements, even from some lawmakers who had once criticized him as unfit for office.

Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) all recently endorsed Trump. He also secured endorsements from former GOP primary opponents, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, among others.
