The Presidential nominee race leaped into final stride this weekend with frenetic last-minute campaigning by Democratic candidates in New Hampshire. Not to be excluded from the intense spotlight surrounding this first in the nation primary, thousands of Republicans also descended on Manchester to support President’s Trump’s planned rally on Monday evening.
From supporters who feel “blessed by God” that Donald Trump is the current president to those who are “reluctantly Trump” but loyal to party, or even some who plan to vote for alternative candidates like Bill Weld, Republicans in New Hampshire insist on one thing: They are Republicans first, with deep love for country.
