Manchester, New Hampshire
Democrats almost all agree that Donald Trump is ruining America and must be removed from the White House in November. The trouble is, nobody is sure who can or should do that. Democratic or Democrat-leaning voters talk nervously about the various candidates using their first names, as if trying to pick a love match in an episode of Blind Date. Should it be Bernie? Or Pete? Or Amy? Or Liz? Or Joe?
New Hampshire isn’t meant to be like that. ‘Live free or die’ is the state’s motto. New Hampshirites are famously independent: they know their minds, at least that’s what everyone says. But in the Democratic primary this week, they all seemed indecisive. Outside one polling booth, a woman admitted she had decided to vote for Amy Klobuchar using the ‘eeny, meeny, miny, moe’ method.
The results of Tuesday’s primary reflected this ambivalence. Bernie Sanders won, but not by much.
