Unusually large crowds poured into schools, churches and other venues for the caucuses, in which voters gather together to select a candidate. cause of a dispute with host FOX News. “And after it becomes clear about his moral views and values, I think it’s going to be tough for conservatives to support him”.
In the Democratic race, almost complete tabulations showed Clinton and Sanders in a virtual tie.
Topping the list of concerns is Clinton’s staggering disadvantage with young voters, a crucial Democratic constituency that overwhelmingly sided with Sanders. “Hillary is history. He hasn’t been bought”, countered 55-year-old Su Podraza-Nagle, 55, who was caucusing for Sanders in the same town. That voting bloc was just 21 per cent of the New Hampshire electorate in the 2012 Republican primary. So, how does that translate there and then on into SC?
Vermont borders New Hampshire, and that proximity may give Sanders an advantage in next Tuesday’s primary. “He weathered $30 million in negative ads and late deciders broke his way due to his upbeat and optimistic close”, said Republican strategist Scott Reed.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Susan, how do you see the challenges that Bernie Sanders now confronts? Arriving in New Hampshire, he was greeted at 5 a.m.by dozens of cheering supporters.
But I totally agree with Reid. “Why would we want to continue with that kind of shenanigans?” asked Carson. But they’re deeply concerned about her struggles with young people, a key part of the coalition that propelled Barack Obama to the White House – and a coalition Clinton hopes to replicate in a general election.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Let’s turn to the Republicans. Bush finished sixth. Rubio reached New Hampshire with a bounce in his step, fielding TV interviews in a Manchester diner early in the morning after taking the red-eye from Des Moines. What does that mean for him? “Why would I tell people anything other than what I believe passionately?”
She – and the campaign – have argued the tactics are a sign of “dirty business” in Iowa. Most recent polling had him capturing between 15 and 17 per cent of the vote, behind Trump and Cruz in the mid and high 20s. And he got a big lift by beating expectations on Monday.
“This is a huge win for Ted Cruz”. Cruz, a Texas senator, had 28 percent, and Trump had 24 percent. “Whether we lose by a fraction of a point or we win or whatever, we are very proud of the campaign that we won”. He had come out against ethanol subsidies.
Yet Clinton’s take in the fourth quarter from Long Island was $280,983, about the same as the $281,176 in the third quarter and much less than the $722,626 in the second quarter.
In the Republican presidential race, Marco Rubio is the man in the middle.
“I listened to Marco’s speech last night”. News that Huckabee was doing same came later in the night. That, we don’t know yet.
Donald Trump is in damage control mode.
While experts agreed that Trump remains a major player, the growing sense of inevitability of a Trump nomination was pierced on Monday. His whole brand is about winning and success.
“Rubio is the candidate with the real momentum in the race”, PPP’s release states.
When told by CNN’s Anderson Cooper that the Iraqis probably would not agree with what Donald Trump is proposing, the candidate then said that “there is no Iraq”. “You would’ve thought he won”, Christie said. “We are leaning toward skipping polling New Hampshire for that reason”. New Hampshire is the state where the establishment Republicans tend to dominate Republican politics and the Republican primaries. Candidates who don’t get at least 15 percent of the vote are out of the running.

Cruz said after the results: “This is a victory for the grassroots, a victory for the greatest conservatives across Iowa”. “It’s about what we’re going to do too”, he said.
