Nikki Haley is Going to Get Smoked

The latest NH polls have Trumpie’s support ticking UP a point in each of two days, to 55% (to 36% for Haley). She’ll exit the race after she gets pounded in her home state Feb. 24. These are some comments by New Hampshire voters that I found humorous:

Even amid the enthusiasm at Ms. Haley’s events in recent days, some of her ardent supporters confessed that they, too, had a sinking feeling about Tuesday.

“I have a feeling Trump may win again,” said Linda Merullo, a retiree and independent voter in Dover, N.H., who voted for Mr. Trump in 2016. “How very bizarre. Boy, are we messed up as a country.”

“We need some young blood,” said Terry Cutter, a Republican from Hillsborough, N.H., who supported Mr. Trump in both 2016 and 2020 but plans to vote for Ms. Haley in the primary.

“Young blood, and a woman to get rid of some of this testosterone,” added his wife, Shelley Cutter, a Democrat who voted for Hillary Clinton and Mr. Biden but is now backing Ms. Haley. “I don’t think anyone over 65 should be running for president. You don’t need a bunch of old, white men — we just need to get rid of them all.”
