Not really. Romney was also "leading" Obama by double digits in NH in late 2011/early 2012. NH polls are always skewed toward Republicans. There is a certain group of fake Independents who always consider voting for a moderate Republican early in the race but in the end all the Democratic candidate needs to scream is "abortion!", "womens' rights!" and "Supreme Court!" and NH becomes solid D again. Kasich would get crushed in NH in the general, at least he'd lose it by the same margin as Romney. If the Republicans are so obsessed with trying to win a solid blue state, then why not compete in Illinois? It is much more likely to flip than NH and also has much more electoral votes.

Okay, fine. Now explain why Hillary and Fiorina did terribly.
