With the sitting president not participating in the New Hampshire’s primary but with a former president who is, today's Democratic and Republican presidential primary ballots present a unique, and for many a bit confounding, choice of political calculations. 

Republican voters break into two basic groups: pro-Trump and anti-Trump. Since the first of four indictments were handed down to Donald Trump in early 2023, his base has consolidated around him. None of his failings — whether paying off porn stars, perpetuating the Big Lie, losing defamation lawsuits or encouraging an insurrection — faze them.

It is unbelievable that any citizen of New Hampshire or anywhere in America( except california of course) would even consider voting for any member of the current administration.

Their sitting president ( because he can hardly walk) doesn't even recogocnize them.

He has dishonored our first in the nation primary, and disrespected our citizens by not even putting his name on the ballot.

Just who do these people think they are.

We should all be highly insulted.

This country needs to be pulled back together.

This country needs to unite against bigger enemies like china.

This country needs to gain control of itself.

We need a closed sealed border.

We need all of the criminal illegal alien border crossers to be expelled, and returned to their origin.

We need to be energy independant.

We need to abolish this green deal garbage we are being force fed, and have fuel choice, as to how we operate our vehicles, heat our homes, and cook our food.

We need to nullify all land ownership of U S soil by foriegn entities and have our farmers grow our food to provide food security for our citizems.

We need to honor our veterans for their service and sacrifice, not displace them so some illegal alien can occupy their space.

American citizens need to be first and formost above all others. We all need food, and shelter, and a place to feel safe and secure. Amercican citizens should have this first before we offer any illegal alien anything but a ticket back to where they came from.

America needs Donald Trump. The only candidate who is not a sell out. The only candidate that the crooks in our government fear.

The only candidate who will stand up for America First.

The rest is all an illusion.

Yes, by all means let's elect a rapist and criminal so he can lead us. It's not the country that needs to get control of itself, it's MAGA cult members like yourself, who have sat and listened to so many lies you can't tell when you're being lied to. I'll give you a hint, it's when Trump opens his mouth.
