The New Hampshire primary, at least for Republicans, is a test. Not of who can win but of how well you can lose.

Someone has to lose.

Losers come in several varieties, but when it comes to New Hampshire Republican primaries, the most common sort is the sore one.

Unity is a town in New Hampshire, but when it comes to marshaling the forces of primary race losers, too often, we find them unable to make the leap from opponent to supporter.

The end result is Democrats.

For a bunch of folks who pretend they don’t want that, they do a fine job of making sure it happens.
