Republican field narrows as campaign moves south

Republican presidential candidates are gathering here for a debate Saturday night that will be jolted by the sudden death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Rubio is stepping up in his attacks after being widely mocked for his repeating of the same talking point multiple times – even as then-rival and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) ripped him for doing so.

Only a few delegate votes are at stake but the importance of winning early can never be underrated.

The racial makeup of Sanders’ suggests he is making a major push to win over South Carolina’s Black population, which accounts for 50 percent of voters who turn out on election day.

He wants to break up the banks and is calling for income equality.

Impressively, Cruz came in third in New Hampshire, only spending approximately $18.00 per vote in advertisements while Jeb Bush came in fourth, spending approximately $1200.00 per vote garnered in advertisement.

He serves as an independent in the Senate. SC is next up on the GOP primary calendar and votes on February 20.

Mr Sanders met one of American’s most prominent civil rights activists, Al Sharpton, just hours after New Hampshire. Ms. Clinton, despite her broad support in the infrastructure of the Democratic Party, should be running scared.

The Republican Party is desperate for a moderate candidate to emerge to challenge the growing popularity of Mr Trump. This close race gives Jeb Bush and John Kasich, who were struggling going into New Hampshire, both the reason and ability to push forward.

As long as Trump’s companies do not make illegal corporate contributions directly to his presidential campaign, Trump’s financial strategy is entirely legal. Whereas, this time, none of the polls really hit it perfectly, but on average they really did hit it pretty much perfectly. But Clinton has made the potential of a first woman president a significant part of her appeal, and the fact that Democratic women are turning to Sanders is a red flag.

Both have different political backgrounds.

The Trump campaign has relied nearly exclusively on “earned media” coverage of his rallies on live television and phoned-in interviews to cable shows to build his name as a contender. But as the New Hampshire contest wore on, he became more adept at expressing concern about issues important to those voters. What about compared to New Hampshire’s primary in 2008.

In a state where Christie had invested the bulk of his resources, his lackluster finish in New Hampshire was effectively the nail in the coffin for his presidential aspirations, Mashable reports. Clinton still had the best odds of becoming president at 50/50, Ladbrokes said. As a result the possibility of general election between Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders is something that even serious professional journalists are staring to say is possible.
