‘Live free or die’ — Trump in New Hampshire
A Trump win in New Hampshire was inevitable — but who actually voted for him? LINDA PENTZ GUNTER reports on an unconventional race in a maverick state

INEVITABLY, Donald Trump won Tuesday’s New Hampshire Republican primary, solidifying the position he has held all along — as the equally inevitable Republican nominee for a return to the US presidency.
Despite the 91 criminal charges he faces; the documented 30,573 false or misleading claims he made during his previous four-year stint as US president; and the accusations of rape against him by at least 26 women, Trump’s popularity remains at an all-time high.
