Donald Trump drops the ‘p’ word
Young Democrats in New Hampshire were siding overwhelmingly with Bernie Sanders but it was his opponent, Hillary Clinton, who seemed to have won the hearts of most among a group of British students who have been here for days knocking on doors and making calls for her campaign.
The Donald’s victory in the Northeastern state comes as a result of appealing to New Hampshire’s business-minded conservative populace, which is less concerned with the social conservatism that propelled Cruz to a Hawkeye State victory last week.
Right behind Kasich: a cluster including Texas Sen.
Clinton started her day at a Manchester polling site, where she thanked volunteers and local supporters.
In recent polls, Sanders is up by 13 percent.
There’s no question when you go to the other candidates’ rallies, a lot of people are motivated by voting against Donald Trump.
The state is friendly territory for the Vermont senator and a must-win if he’s to have a chance of staying competitive with Clinton as the race moves to more diverse states that are seen as more hospitable to the former secretary of state.
“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”, Sanders told supporters Tuesday night in a message that he said resounded “from Wall Street to Washington, from ME to California”.
But Rubio, showing the momentum he gained with a strong third-place finish in Iowa last week, vaulted into second place with 19 percent, up 9 points from a month ago and his highest number in any Granite State poll. Even if neither candidate ultimately becomes his party’s nominee, whoever does will have to reckon with the voter frustration they’ve tapped into.
After finishing behind Cruz in Iowa, Trump has spent the past week stepping up more traditional campaign activities. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, an afterthought in Iowa, popped up in second.
Democratic presidential candidate, Vermin Supreme, with beard, tries to talk with Republican presidential candidate, Sen. In Friday’s WMUR-CNN New Hampshire Primary Poll, Trump leads Marco Rubio in the Manchester area 33 percent to 20 percent, and he led statewide, 28 percent to 17 percent.
Under assault from Christie during Saturday’s debate, Rubio repeated his standard critique of President Barack Obama several times and played into Christie’s argument that the first-term senator is a scripted, inexperienced politician from a do-nothing Congress. Rival campaigns hope the moment was enough to give voters pause when they head to the polls on Tuesday.
While Sanders’ victory means he’s assured of a majority of the state’s pledged delegates, Clinton remains ahead in the overall delegate count due to support from superdelegates – the party officials who can support the candidate of their choice.
“I have no idea what they’re talking about or who they are talking to”, Clinton said on MSNBC. Some party leaders believe both Trump and Cruz are unelectable in the general election, especially if Clinton is the Democratic nominee. She argued she was better prepared than Sanders to solve the country’s problems. She traversed the state’s snow-covered highways with her husband and their daughter in a push to maintain her edge in national polls and reassure the Democratic establishment backing her campaign.
