BBC Radio 4 - The Report, Trump v the Republicans in New Hampshire: PJ O'Rourke on the campaign trail

US satirist PJ O'Rourke goes on the campaign trail in New Hampshire. Can Trump really win?

US satirist PJ O'Rourke goes on the campaign trail in New Hampshire. Will people really vote for Donald Trump? Could he really be the next president of the United States?

The New Hampshire primary is the first proper vote of the American Presidential election. Finally, after all the debates, polls and bluster, voters get to choose their preferred candidate for president.

This year, New Hampshire is seen by many as the moment of truth for the Republican frontrunner Donald Trump. The polls say he is on his way to the nomination, but the pundits are almost universally sceptical.

Conservative satirical journalist PJ O'Rourke is a long time watcher of the Republican Party and a veteran at covering elections. He is also a long term resident of New Hampshire, a state so small where you do not have to go looking for the candidates - they will find you. In the last week of the New Hampshire primary, PJ O'Rourke goes on the campaign trail to discover whether voters will really choose a candidate who breaks all the rules of US politics.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
