“It is going to be an exciting year. This is unprecedented – all these candidates. They are all running around. You drive up the highway, and Chris Christie’s motorcade goes by you.
“This actually happened to me… I had a candidate in the TV studio here at the Institute of Politics, it was Rand Paul. Later I got on the highway, Chris Christie’s two New Jersey motorcade vehicles passed me. Then I came off the exit in Concord, was driving down the road to find a parking spot and to get my hair cut, and there was John Kasich, waving, ‘Hey, Neil!'”
“This is not unusual. It’s New Hampshire.”
