What’s going to happen in New Hampshire?

Here in Iowa, I think we all had a pretty clear idea of what we thought was going to take place in New Hampshire. Unfortunately, I think we forgot this is Politics we’re dealing with, maybe the most fickle business there is.

GOP

After placing a strong 3rd in Iowa, Rubio had all of the momentum [and still might], but an underwhelming debate performance on Saturday has placed him in a precarious position. It has at least opened the door for the likes of Kasich and maybe Jeb to finish better than they might have otherwise.

I’d like to think Trump will actually hold on and win this one, but if Rubio loses some support, I think Cruz is the biggest benefactor. Cruz wasn’t expected to do great in N.H, but a surprising finish here would likely solidify his popularity in South Carolina and onward.

Alternatively, If Rubio outperforms again and finishes 2nd, he’s back in great position showing he can rebound from the toughest of hits.

Democrats

This one is pretty clear cut — N.H will be feeling the Bern. The only question is by how much? There are already reports that Hillary Clinton is going to likely demand a major personnel and strategy shift after N.H because her and Bill have been very disappointed with her team’s performance [definitely all her campaigns fault again right? right..?].
