The winner of New Hampshire, Mitt Romney. He was second four years earlier. And there's a pattern. New Hampshire tends to like people who were second in the previous cycle. Mitt Romney 39% Ron Paul 23% John Huntsman 17% Rick Santorum, who had just won Iowa, 9% Newt Gingrich 9% and then 2016, Donald Trump with a big victory, 35%. So he loses Iowa, goes on to win New Hampshire. New Hampshire played a pivotal part in electing Trump the first time. (18:06–18:27)
