ABC News projects Trump, Sanders as New Hampshire primary winners

Cruz charges that Trump supports universal health care that could lead to health care rationing. “But I would be very much in favor of going beyond waterboarding”.

Trump’s win solidifies his front-runner status in the race to be the party’s White House nominee.

Trump congratulated other candidates in the race but promised to soon return to his pugnacious approach.

At that event and other Sanders rallies in the finals days of campaigning, in fact, actual New Hampshire voters were hard to find.

It seemed like an automatic voter conversion moment for Sen.

“While there is a kernel of truth to many aspects of this caricature, it is primarily a myth”, write David Moore and Andrew E. Smith, a pair of University of New Hampshire professors who may not be invited to many more faculty teas.

Tespas told Rubio of her son’s genetic condition, the same as her husband who battled and survived cancer. “She is also very strong with African-Americans”. But she’s got plenty of mojo left.

“It’s nice to see someone who’s not forgetting about our role in the world”, she said.

Snow is forecast here throughout the day, which might affect the candidates’ plans as they attempt to crisscross the state after a bit of a break for the Super Bowl on Sunday evening. That’s one of the reasons that I really like Bernie.

Rubio has been criticized as a repeater of rote talking points. There’s no question there are a lot of establishment Republicans vying for that spot. On the most-prized attribute of honesty and trustworthiness, New Hampshire voters found Sanders to be the favored candidate. But the storm did not stop the candidates from holding campaign events. “Next!” he said, calling on the next reporter.

Christie, Bush and Kasich are hoping that Rubio’s rough night halts momentum he built up coming third in Iowa.

At the same time the campaign emphasized Clinton’s strength in Nevada and SC, it downplayed the importance of February voting.

A strong performance in New Hampshire was critical for Kasich, who all but skipped Iowa’s caucuses to grind out town hall after town hall in New Hampshire.

Bush says he’s the only candidate offering detailed plans to lift people out of poverty, raise middle class incomes and keep the country safe. “The people want real change”, he said.

Chris Christie is telling his campaign volunteers to work now, celebrate later.

Officials predicted a record turnout.

It marks a dramatic win for two outsider candidates who have made rallying against mainstream politics central to their campaigns.

Kasich came close to tying Rubio with a polling average of 13 percent.

Sanders, the senator from neighboring Vermont, had maintained a steady lead in New Hampshire despite Clinton’s longstanding ties.

Clinton added, “Give my best to Carly”.

Trump’s big talk gets a “yuuuuuge” test in New Hampshire.

US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump laughs with a supporter in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Voters in the Granite state go to the polls on Tuesday morning in the nation’s second presidential nominating contest. SHADOW-BOXING TRUMP Trump, 69, who has campaigned to deport illegal immigrants and temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States, was in first place with 35 percent of the vote on the Republican side based on 88 percent of returns. Polls are now opening in the rest of the state.

Early exit polls indicated that New Hampshire voters might be growing more polarized. Sanders raised $20 million in January, a figure Clinton aides worry means he can run a viable campaign into the late spring. She shook hands and posed for photographs with a group of volunteers & supporters.

But there is one saving grace to the first in the nation’s primary: voting is straightforward.

“The government of our great country belongs to all of the people, and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors and their super PACs”, Sanders told supporters Tuesday night in a message that he said resounded “from Wall Street to Washington, from ME to California”.

State law requires polls to be open between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday.

“They’re getting more and more desperate”.

Independent voters, officially known as “undeclared”, make up 44 percent of registered voters.
