On Tuesday night, as Democrats duked it out for the top spot, Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale released numbers reflecting big-time support for POTUS in New Hampshire.
In a statement, Brad also marveled over the triumph of socialism within the Democratic Party:
“The Democrat story in New Hampshire is the continued dominance of big government socialist policies and the success of their standard bearer, Bernie Sanders.”
And it’s that supremacy, in Brad’s view, that’s going to guarantee that they lose:
“No matter which Democrat eventually emerges from their months-long dumpster fire of a primary process, we know the contrast will be President Trump’s record of accomplishment and optimistic view of the future versus Democrats and their socialist, job-killing agenda.”
In a series of tweets, Brad dropped some stats:
With approximately 54% of precincts reporting, President Trump has already received more votes than Presidents Barack Obama (49,080), George W. Bush (52,962) and Ronald Reagan (65,033) in their respective re-election New Hampshire Primaries.

Now with approximately 62% of precincts reporting, President Trump has surpassed the total votes for President Clinton (not Hillary) in the 1996 New Hampshire Primary.

And in the end:
“In NH primary tonight, @realDonaldTrump is very likely to beat the vote percentages of the last 3 incumbent presidents who WON re-election. 1996 Bill Clinton 84% 2004 George W. Bush 80% 2012 Barack Obama 82% Trump right now is pushing 86%. This is historic strength!”

The Republican National Committee echoed a similar sentiment of impending victory over the Nazis’ favorite economic system:
“After their mess in Iowa last week and their struggle to coalesce behind one candidate in New Hampshire tonight, the Democrat Party remains in complete disarray. One thing that is clear: Bernie Sanders winning his second state in a row shows how Socialism is now the mainstream in today’s Democrat Party. Meanwhile, the Republican Party is unified and organized behind President Trump, and the nation is thriving like never before. In November, Americans will choose four more years of unprecedented, historic progress for our country under President Trump.”
Trump trumpeted, too:
The Fake News Media is looking hard for the Big Democrat Story, but there is nothing too fabulous. Wouldn’t a big story be that I got more New Hampshire Primary Votes than any incumbent president, in either party, in the history of that Great State? Not an insignificant fact!

One thing’s for sure: If Bernie goes up against Trump, there’s no blurring of lines between the two. The battle, at that point, is perhaps clearer than it’s ever been: Capitalism vs. Socialism.
Unfortunately, I suspect many, many voters don’t know what either of those terms actually means.
But whether Bernie makes it to September or not, the fact that he’s come this far speaks volumes: There’s a drastic divide, ideologically, this time around. Whether it’s Bloomberg or Buttigieg — or a swinging-on-a-vine Hillary — Big Government’s taking on Conservatism for the whole pot.
Favored to win: Donald John Trump.
