Donald Trump And Bernie Sanders Take New Hampshire Primaries
Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders coasted to victory on a wave of voter anger in the New Hampshire presidential nominating contest, thrashing traditional USA politicians in a display of anti-establishment power. The Ohio governor bet big on New Hampshire, and his relentless campaigning paid off with a second-place finish in the Republican presidential primary.
Sanders, who won the state’s primary with 151,584 votes over Clinton’s 95,252 votes, gained 13 delegates and The Hill reported that Sanders is expected to officially receive 15 when the total results are in. Many suggest that Sanders is a more of a movement than a man, and even if he loses, the nation is about to make a turn to the left. In 2012, Barack Obama won 56.7 percent of the vote in rural New Hampshire, over Republican Mitt Romney.
Trump voters at this rally told The Jerusalem Post what they have been telling local and national media outlets for months: They are exhausted of the established American political class – represented by the Clinton and Bush families – and they seek a true disruption to Washington’s status quo.
The candidates can be thankful for one thing: New Hampshire at least came cheaper than Iowa.
“I walked in Washington”, she said. He tells you what he’s going to do, but we won’t tell you how he’s going to do it. I think once this race narrows, the pressure will be on him … But mainstream Democrats may rue not having a deeper bench if Clinton’s campaign keeps stumbling.
The results were surprising and not so surprising out of the Democratic Party with regards to Bernie Sanders. The dynamic between Clinton and Sanders right now reminds me of when Gary Hart surged against the establishment candidate and overwhelming favorite Walter Mondale in 1984.
“I hope to earn the support of each of their supporters”, he said. After faring poorly in both states, Christie ended his campaign. Mondale finally turned to Hart and said to him in a debate, reprising a line from a fast-food commercial of the time, “When I hear your new ideas, Gary, I am reminded of that commercial, ‘Where’s the beef?'” Clinton may need something similar, a moment where she changes the current dynamic of the race and forces people to pause and reassess their consideration of Sanders.
And as he shifts his attention to South Carolina’s February 20 contest, the 44-year-old freshman senator wants voters to know he’s learned an important lesson from his experience in New Hampshire.

It would be entertaining, but we can’t sell tickets just yet. For Republican candidates, rural and urban voters’ preferences were almost identical. But Cruz sees it as a necessity.
“Over time, I sure do”.
While Kasich’s compassionate message may seem like it could appeal across the swath of upcoming Southern states with decisive blocs of Christian voters, Trump and Texas Sen. “We are going to fight for every vote in every state”, she said vowing asking her supporters to chip in with $1 contributions. Do you have any reactions to that?
