The New Hampshire primary is down to two candidates in the Republican presidential field.

In reality, unless former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley can over-perform her polling, she will remain a distant second to Donald Trump. Haley points out that the vast majority of Americans want younger candidates, and yet we are well on the way to seeing a Trump/Biden rematch.

Our guests are Republicans who talk about what they hope their party will do.

Our guests:

  • Larry Staub, Perinton Republican town leader and the New York Republican State Committeeman representing the 135th Assembly district
  • Mark Assini, former Gates town supervisor and former candidate for Monroe County Executive
