For Donald Trump, for 1 night, there was so much winning

The parties will fight off Sanders and Trump eventually, although neither the consensus for Clinton on the Democratic side nor the consensus against Trump on the Republican side produced results in New Hampshire. He’ll try to recover from that low point when he and the other GOP candidates take the stage on Saturday in Greenville, S.C.

Republican presidential candidates Carly Fiorina and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have suspended their presidential campaigns after poor showings at the New Hampshire primary election Tuesday night.

Trump, 69, a billionaire businessman, has a double-digit lead over conservative Senator Ted Cruz of Texas in opinion polls for the next Republican contest, the SC primary on February 20, according to a Real Clear Politics average of opinion polls.

“It’s disappointing. I think the governor would have made a good president”, Scanlan said of the outcome.

With a large field still in the race, Trump said his rivals are “all really potential threats; but, I’m OK at handling threats”.

Next up are relatively cheap South Carolina, Nevada with its one major TV market – and then Florida, a state that can absorb any amount of media money in its 10 metro markets. “As we move toward southern states I think you’ll see him do very well”.

Sanders said his victory “sent a message that will echo from Wall Street to Washington, from ME to California”.

“And that is that 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”. At midday Wednesday, Sanders’ campaign said he’d raised $5.2 million since the polls closed Tuesday night.

“I don’t want Hillary”, the military veteran said. “But they are also hungry”.

He racked up a long list of notable endorsements from state legislative leaders and, at the end of 2015, looked like he was breaking into the top tier after a video of him discussing a friend’s struggle with drug addiction went viral.

Bush and Rubio each have an opportunity to turn in a strong SC performance.

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio turned up the heat on his opponents – proactively calling them out by name – while campaigning in SC on Thursday. “But we’re going to do it the old fashioned way”.

Sharpton and Obama met at the same restaurant during Obama’s successful 2008 presidential campaign – a piece of symbolism for Sanders as he tries to expand his appeal beyond liberals in the US Northeast.

On Tuesday Mr Christie told an audience he was going to take a breath and head back to New Jersey to reassess his campaign. “So I’m not anxious about what the other folks say”, Kasich said.

Both Bush, the former Florida governor, and Rubio, a US senator from Florida, are in SC today, holding town hall meetings with voters. Despite that, Christie received 7 percent of the vote. It does matter when the challenges don’t come [in] a list [on] a piece of paper of what to vote yes or no [on] everyday, but when the problems come in from the people that you serve.
