Lots of Fox News hacks have been predicting that Donald Trump wouldn’t win New Hampshire, despite his double digit lead in the polls. When ask by CNN hacks what his reaction would be if he doesn’t come in first in New Hampshire, Trump said he “wouldn’t be happy” if he came in second place in the New Hampshire primary.

The comment stands in stark contrast to how the Republican presidential front-runner has addressed the New Hampshire primary in the week since his second place finish in the Iowa caucuses. Instead of predicting victory, Trump has largely lowered expectations.
But not on Sunday, two days from the primary.
“I could say to you if I came in second and third I’d be thrilled, OK? I know all about expectations,” Trump told CNN’s Dana Bash in an interview before he took the stage at Plymouth State University on Sunday. “If I came in second I wouldn’t be happy, OK?”
Just a few hours before his interview with Bash, Trump told CNN’s Jake Tapper that he didn’t have to win in the Granite State.
“I want to win New Hampshire, but I don’t think I have to win it, no,” Trump said.
It would be kind of hard to imagine Trump not winning New Hampshire based on polling. Though polling over the last several years have been terribly inaccurate, I think Trump will win New Hampshire. Unless of course the GOP-e plays some dirty tricks. I don’t think Trump helped himself last night with his eminent domain answer though.
