the weekend in new hampshire. i did. and have to say, the final new hampshire weekend before the primary has always been my very favorite thing, the most fun in politics, until this year. this was the first time in decades where i did not bother to go up there. why so down this year? why so down this year? because it just seems so pointless. there is only two candidate, there s only one party that s even having the primary. nothing is happening on the democratic side. you have an incumbent democratic president. but it just seemed like a complete waste of my time. without getting into that, was it as much fun this past weekend, as it usually is? now, i would say, i ve had more fun than the time then the time barack obama lost in an unexpected primary lost to hillary clinton, i was working for barack obama at the time. but it has been fun. it is donald trump is winning, currently ahead by 19 points in the polls, lawrence, we know that. but surprising things happen
