    You made the mistake of discussing New Hampshire with someone who has lived here for 20 years and did all of those things I listed on my list of things you have never done.

    Chris Sununu is the first Republican governor of this state since Craig Benson, who left office in 2005. Kelly Ayotte lost her Senate seat in November. Frank Guinta lost his Congressional seat in November. The state voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and did NOT vote for him when he was the sitting President in 2004.

    Next time know who you're posting to.

    Chris Sununu being the first republican certainly confirms my statement that the state is trending republican. Given the huge republican gains in the state legislature and the catastrophically shrinking margin in presidential elections (from 10% to 0.3%), the trend is absolutely undeniable.

    As I said, you have no clue about NH, let alone Mexico, legal matters, Russia, cybersecurity (in no particular order). Stop posting, start studying.

    Stop babbling about Russia and Mexico. You were just humiliated by someone who has been working in the inner circles of politics in this state for 20 years, and you came in here, pretending to know anything about it, because "I ski!". Don't deflect because you're embarrassed. And embarrassed you are.

    You should stick to things you know. It's what I do. I don't post about things I don't know. That way I don't embarrass myself when I encounter someone who actually knows.

    You've failed to deny even a single one of the facts I posted, absolutely supporting my claim that NH is trending republican and may easily flip

    2010
    Dems: 216, Republicans 174

    2017
    Dems 169, Republicans 219

    Speaker - Republican
    Majority leader - Republican
    Governor - republican

    PS We have poster Margot here who claims that Saudi Arabia is the best, freest and one of the most progressive countries on the planet and we have no right to disagree because she lived there and we have not... You can see the parallels, can't you? LOL

    Why are you so defensive about Russkieland? It's a place run by a an ex-KGB murderous dictator who would like nothing better than to see a civil war within the USA and have our democracy ripped to shreds as he interferes with our democratic election process. That is all I need to now about him and the country he steals from, along with the rest of the Russian mafia and Oligarchs, to become one of the richest men, if not the richest man in the world. It's not enough for the POS though, because if he gets those pesky sanctions lifted he can be an even a richer murderous dictator thief. If the Russian people want to put up with his **** that is their business, but for what he is attempting to do in my country, he can drop the **** dead and I know all I need to know about this scumbag and anyone that aids and abets him including and most of all, the traitor in The White House.

    Oh lookie, you can Google and keep posting stats. How cool are you? That must make you an expert.

    This state was once a Republican stronghold. It was has been trending the opposite direction for many years. I know who won the elections in 2016. I live here. I've worked in every election every 2 years for the last 20 years. I've known Corey Lewandowski and Kellyanne Conway and the Sununu family and many other people whose names you don't even know but every politician in Washington knows for years.

    You may want to wait until Jeanie Forrester, who you also don't know, has figured out what she's going to do because she and others are already worried about 2018 and 2020 elections, before running your mouth off about how people vote in the state, and why.

    If you want to keep embarrassing yourself, do it. Next time I suggest knowing who you're posting to before making an ass out of yourself, as you did with your posts.

    I absolutely despise Russia and Putin, I have a multi-year history of posts on this very forum trashing them, history going back years, long before the Russia's aggression against Georgia and Ukraine where my position was staunchly anti-Russian and your libs', not so much. And for the record I absolutely disagree with Trump on Russia and Putin.

    That being said, I despise the libs just as much and with every day their views, attitudes, methods, lies, stupidity and ignorance disgust me more and more. I realize that you people in your liberal bubble have started to believe the nonsense you are spewing. But rest assured that outside of your bubble NOBODY takes these manufactured liberal controversies, hysterical bleating about treason etc, made up, idiotic conspiracy even remotely seriously. We don't believe a single word that's coming out of the lying hateful, hypocritical liberal mouth. We see it for what it really is - political witch hunt, leftist McCarthyism, blinding hatred and TDS. Sorry, you're not fooling a single person outside of your bubble.

    Last but not the least, Trump notwithstanding, I will trust republicans on dealing with Russia over the spineless clowns like Obama or Sanders or Pelosi any day... Hillary would actually be OK in my book but she'd be hamstrung by her own party hijacked by uber-progressive cretins and imbeciles.

    First of all the USA isn"t a democracy,it's a consitutional republic.So liberals shouldn"t push forward arguments based on their ignorance.They'd better educate themselves how their own political system works.If they'd cared more about the people and less about the money they wouldn't have lost the multiple elections.

    Yep, and the state is clearly trending republican. You've failed to even begin to refute facts I posted, facts that lead to the inevitable conclusion that during the last 10 years the state's pro-Republican trend is absolutely undeniable.

    Sure. It's a horrible country, totalitarian slavish (not Slavic, slavish) in many ways medieval mentality, nasty, rude, bullying, extremely disrespectful of each other, unruly population, the country is corrupt beyond belief, the rule of law does not exist, the level of bureaucracy is staggering, dirt, incompetence, negligence, brutality bordering on savegery, disregard for property, life, each other....

    Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of amazing fun, talented and extraordinary people there, in fact probably a disproportionate number. Personally I would rather party with Russians than westerners, more wild, more fun.... But overall the country is just like I described above.

    Thanks for the reply (I didn't expect one), but what you say sounds more like the USSR than modern-day Russia. But then Russia being the cradle of the art form known as ballet, mebbe I'm biased.

    You're right about the USSR but to the best of my understanding things aren't much better now overall, other than perhaps better standard of living. And as far as mentality, corruption, government abuse, incompetence, theft, negligence, lawlessness and brutality (their police brutality is like it's the 15th century) not that much has changed.

    The Russian successes in arts and sports are indeed amazing and certainly among or exceeding the world standards..... They are all government controlled, the government spends enormous amounts of money on sports and arts which the country has traditionally used as a crucial part of the country's image and PR campaign, basically the proverbial lipstick on a pig. Oh and they cheat any chance they can, all those stories about their athletes taking illegal drugs - they don't even scratch the surface. And the sad part is, the population knows about it and is proud of it... as long as their side wins, even dishonestly.

    I am afraid the scale of these problems is incomparable. All countries have corruption but the UK is ranked #10 and Russia #131 smack in the middle of the worst African and Asian abusers. There may be cases of police brutality in the UK, virtually every single cop in Russia is guilty of it (not an exaggeration), beating people in custody (not criminal, virtually anyone arrested) is customary.... and their methods and technics are infinitely worse than whatever your Bobbies can possibly think up :D.... virtually everyone who can steal in Russia does steal and is proud of it and is bragging to friends and family, every 2-bit official acts like a petty dictator, justifiably believing in his complete immunity of any punishment or demotion.... well you get the idea.

    I obviously don't know the extent of it because I don't live in Russia, therefore I have no way of disproving what you say. All I do know is that from what I see on tv news footage and travelogue shows everywhere looks neat and tidy, there's no rubbish in the streets, and the Russians themselves look prosperous and contented. To sum up, unlike many towns and cities in the West it all looks very civilized, and exactly the kind of place in which I'd like to live.

    You are still living in the election!?!? Dude, the election is over. There is also no way to prove your theory that he would win if the election was held again. You seem to conveniently leave out of your argument that his approval rating is the lowest for any president at this point in.

    Your definition of liberal was created by fox news, rush limbaugh, hannity, etc. They were trying to undermine the sensible reporting to push their own fringe and special interest views. MSNBC spawned as an ugly response to combat the crap that was being pushed as news by fox.

    So, since your argument relies on its own definition it's null.

    The poll you refer to put tTump at 41% and Hillary at 39% with a margin of error of 3.1%. Since you can't ignore the margin of error, that's a tie.

    You are also comparing apples to oranges. His approval rating to her popularity. She has stayed out of the public scene while he has had the largest of all world stages. She has done nothing to change her image and he has done everything to destroy his own.

    It's humorous how trump minions use a losing candidate as their metric for measuring him. Why not compare him to other presidents?

    You lost. Get over it.

    This whole fabricated "fake news" and "main stream media" stuff is the biggest conspiracy theory running right now.

    If you really believe that thousands of reporters and media employees are all in on some plot to undermine the president, then you should take off the aluminum foil hat and get some professional help. I'm not referring to the propaganda stations - MSNBC and fox news.

    The vast majority of reporters are using their own minds and reporting on their own findings.

    People need to learn how to differentiate between news and opinion. Just to help in this journey, this post of mine (and all others on these forums) falls under the category of opinion.

    There is something very bizarre and completely disingenuous about claiming to be anti-Russian and then being in total denial about Trump's obvious kowtowing to the Russkie murderous dictator and pushing the BS that his connection to Putin and the Oligarch/Mafia is fabricated. Your blind partisanship is front and center. Anyone defending this POS who came to self-promote and plunder is either nuts, stupid, blatantly anti-American or all of the above.

    Witch hunts you say? That's a laugh. I'll bet you were all for the 22 BENGHAZI hearing that turned up nothing, but yeah Hillary would have been OK with you. :rolleyes:

    As for Republicans giving a rat's ass about anything other than catering to their corporate puppet masters...give me a break! They have as much patriotism as pond scum. Regardless of you feelings towards Obama, Pelosi and Sanders, none of them would be traitors to the USA to aid and abet a Russkie POS like Putin.
