Republicans Fiorina, Christie Suspend Presidential Campaigns

“As it often does, New Hampshire has reset the race”.

On a national scale, Clinton has already secured the support of more than half of the Democrats’ superdelegates.

The brashness, though, is what his voters like. “No one else is saying it like he is”.

I’m the right porridge.

Sanders won New Hampshire’s Democratic primary, taking 60 percent of the vote to 38 percent for Hillary Clinton, who had beat Sanders by less than a percentage point in Iowa.

“They want a commander in chief that will have a steady hand and have a backbone and will support the troops and has detailed plans on how to keep us safe as it relates to Islamic terrorism”, Bush said Wednesday on CNN’s “New Day”.

With final votes still being tallied, Trump led with 35 percent of the vote in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire destroyed any momentum Rubio had coming out of Iowa and for now, at least, locks Rubio in a messy muddle in his party’s establishment wing.

Expect to see more debates over who can claim the mantle as a true progressive or conservative.

Christie, though was finishing with less than 10 percent of the vote and said he’d head back to New Jersey to reconsider the race.

As the field moved from Iowa to New Hampshire, Rubio became the star following a breakout performance in the caucuses.

Marco Rubio is unloading on almost all of his presidential rivals, Trump and Bush included, declaring them unprepared for the national security responsibilities of the job. “And what that means is you never know and it’s both the magic and the mystery of politics – that you never quite know when which is going to happen, even when you think you do”, he said. That ups the ante for him going into this Saturday’s debate in Greenville, South Carolina.

Republican presidential candidate, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie thanks supporters during a primary night rally in Nashua, N.H., Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2016.

Christie racked up a long list of notable endorsements from state legislative leaders in New Hampshire.

Even after his 2 percent showing in New Hampshire, the retired Maryland neurosurgeon is hanging in, having invested as much time in SC as any candidate. His campaign launched ads Wednesday in Oklahoma, Minnesota, Colorado and MA – all states where they believe Sanders can grow – while pouring money and staff into Nevada.

This campaign is not dead. Having made the fewest visits to SC among the remaining GOP candidates, Kasich needs to make up for lost time. That includes native son Sen.

The state’s senior senator, Lindsey Graham, ended his own presidential bid and endorsed Bush.

Nearly all the Republicans have spent months building complex campaigns and blanketing airwaves in SC, which heralds the start of the Republican campaign’s foray into the South. After that primary on February 20, seven Southern states including Georgia and Virginia will anchor the Super Tuesday primaries on March 1, with a large number of delegates at stake. Instead, he finished New Hampshire looking up at Kasich and Bush, and now finds himself trying to peel votes from all the other campaigns.

The arrival of his brother, who won the S.C. primary in 2000, is part of an all-out push to succeed in a state that has been friendly to the Bush family.
