Feeling the need to crush Donald Trump's opponents competing for the 20204 Republican party presidential nomination as soon as the primaries begin, the former president and his aides are working overtime in New Hampshire due to inroads being made by former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley.
According to a report from CNN, there are fears in the Trump camp that the recent endorsement of Haley by popular Gov. Chris Sununu (R) could cut into the former president's lead so an all-out effort is being made to firm up his support.
On the other hand, the report notes, Trump's massive lead in polls has Trump insiders worried for a different reason.
CNN is reporting, "The burst of campaigning underscores an aggressive effort by Trump’s team to maintain his dominating lead when polls give way to actual voting. His advisers have privately voiced concerns that Trump supporters could simply assume he has a comfortable advantage in the race and is not reliant on their votes."

Those concerns led the former president to tell a crowd at an Iowa rally this past week, "We are leading by a lot, but you have to go out and vote.”
The report adds that Trump is trying to diminish Haley's growing support, telling the crowd, "There’s no surge. They don’t have any surge."
