EXETER, N.H. — As usual, the political world is waiting to see what GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has to say Thursday. Whatever it is will come at a lunchtime campaign event at the historic Exeter Town Hall in New Hampshire. No less a Republican than Abe Lincoln spoke in the same hall in March 1860.
And U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a Trump foe in this year’s GOP derby, spoke in the hall Tuesday night.
There’s a good chance Trump will continue to riff on his theory that U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas cheated his way to victory in the Iowa caucuses earlier this week.
Whatever riff we hear, Vincent Vaughns will be front and center to hear it. The 18-year-old student at nearby Phillips Exeter Academy got in line around 6:30 a.m. to hear his candidate for president.
Vaughns’ second choice is Democrat Hillary Clinton. This is, indeed, an odd political year.
Trump’s New Hampshire event comes as the large, though dwindling, GOP field works the state in advance of next Tuesday’s primary that could further reduce the field.
