Huge turnout in New Hampshire amid snowstorm
“There’s a long, long process ahead of us, and I intend to be there at the end, ” he said. But a big loss to Sanders, an underdog candidate who describes himself as a democratic socialist, would be embarrassing for Clinton.
ERIC THAYER/REUTERS Ted Cruz defeated Donald Trump last week in the Iowa caucuses. Marco Rubio to be the alternative that establishment Republicans might like better than Trump.
“Marco what does a second place finish in New Hampshire mean to you“, CBS4’s David Sutta asked the senator.
The exchange went viral on social media, but many news outlets -perhaps finding the language too reprehensible to print or broadcast – skipped the story entirely. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have all staked their White House bid on New Hampshire, hoping a strong showing here will lead voters – and crucial financial donors – to give their candidacies another look. After finishing behind Cruz in Iowa, Trump has spent the past week both protesting that result and stepping up more traditional campaign activities. It’s weird to see a presidential frontrunner – one who’s poised to win the New Hampshire primary today – hurling deeply degrading insults from the stump. Behind Clinton’s upbeat demeanor, however, are growing concerns within her campaign about her standing with young people, who are flocking to Sanders. “She said he’s a p-ssy”, said Trump. “She said – I never expect to hear that from you again – she said he’s a pussy”, Trump said as the crowd erupted into a roaring cacophony of laughter and applause. Rubio was in second place at 17 per cent, followed by Ted Cruz, a US senator from Texas, at 14 per cent.
“It was like a retweet”, Trump said on Tuesday.
Rubio, in an interview with CNN, dismissed the torrent of criticism that has come his way since the debate and said his potential to be a strong candidate against the Democrats made him a target.
Bush, who for once equaled or even got the better of Trump on the debate stage on Saturday, has been mounting a last stand in New Hampshire and on Monday lashed out at the former reality TV star on Twitter.
Among Democrats, Sanders has maintained a sizeable advantage over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire for weeks. You know what she just said?
But Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta dismissed the report.
A lack of a clear front-runner in the early days of the election, combined with deep divisions within the Republican Party (GOP) and the huge funding allowed for campaigns has ignited hopes for a range of contenders.
Remember when instead of saying misogynistic things about Megyn Kelly, evil human Garfield Donald Trump couched the phrase by adding that he refused to say it because it would be politically incorrect? “We’re running a very radical campaign because we are telling the American people the truth and that’s something that is not often told in the political world”, Sanders said Monday as he urged supporters to help him pull out a win.
“The core of this campaign is that statement, and I am going to continue to say it: Barack Obama is deliberately carrying out a strategy to change America”.
