Sanders, Trump take NH primary

Marco Rubio was fifth.

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally in Keene, New Hampshire September 30, 2015.

Speaking to supporters and staff at his campaign office in Bedford, Christie emphasized that his well-received performance in Saturday night’s debate was a reflection that Rubio was untested. Repeating a line from the debates, Sanders took a shot at Clinton in saying it was “too late” for “establishment” politicians.

The New Hampshire primary traditionally plays a pivotal role by providing momentum to the winners heading into the next contests in SC and Nevada.

Donald Trump didn’t have to spend much of his huge real estate fortune to win the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary Tuesday.

Rubio said he doesn’t know where he will finish in New Hampshire today, but said he is confident “we’re going to finish strong”. And Sanders and Clinton were evenly divided among women, a major setback for a candidate who aims to become the nation’s first female president. In New Hampshire, it took him until Monday to participate in voter question-and-answer sessions in intimate settings, the kinds of events that are a staple here.

“Together we have sent a message that will echo from Wall Street to Washington, from ME to California”, he said. “He’s going nowhere. And the only thing he does is attack me”.

Kasich, the OH governor, had 10 percent, Bush, a former Florida governor, was at 7 percent, and Christie at 4 percent, according to the poll conducted from Wednesday to Sunday, with a margin of error of plus or minus 5.2 percentage points.

In the two-person race for the Democratic nomination, Vermont Sen.

On the Democratic side, Sanders had a strong lead over Clinton, the former secretary of state who narrowly beat him in Iowa.

Trump, stung by his second-place showing in Iowa last week, had been determined to make New Hampshire his proving ground for a campaign that has defied convention wisdom from the start.

Christie, however, didn’t benefit from roughing up Rubio. A finish below the top three could force Christie’s exit from the race. The media is fixated on the first ten minutes, but the voters are looking at the totality of it. Especially in a place like New Hampshire’.

Tuesday’s outcomes would have been almost unthinkable not long ago.

He is counting on attracting independents who can vote in the Republican primary.

“Early on, often times, voters want to just vent and vote their passions”, he told CBS News in an interview that aired on Tuesday. Rubio’s allies turned advertising dollars away from anti-Cruz ads and toward anti-Bush ads.

Aside from Trump, none of the Republican candidates moved more than 1 point in either direction compared with the previous CNN/WMUR tracking poll. His strategy has always been to leverage his telegenic presence on cable news channels to build support. In his concession speech Tuesday night, Rubio also said he could have done better at the debate.

And rebellious voters don’t care how the race looked after the Iowa caucuses.
