Sitting in Section 223, Tom Jones of Nashua, New Hampshire, cheered wildly as Trump went through his speech.

What bubbles out are frustrations with female voters backing Sanders despite the prospect of electing the first female president. And residents who aren’t registered to vote can register at the polls.
Compare Christie’s strength and poise to Donald Trump’s empty bluster.
Behind Clinton’s upbeat demeanour, however, are growing concerns within her campaign about her standing with young people, who are flocking to Sanders.
Watch the way women vote in the Democratic primary.
Media and protesters crowd around Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz as he boards his campaign bus after speaking in Manchester, N.H. on Monday. If he sneaks through to finish in one of the top few slots, in healthy double-digits, he will surely move on and become a viable contender for the moderate and “somewhat conservative” vote.
The polling tells a familiar story. New Hampshire was slammed by a snowstorm that caused icy roads and headaches for drivers all over the Granite state. Marco Rubio has jeopardized his chance to pull away from a trio of governors and firmly establish himself as the chief rival to Trump and Texas Sen. But he went into last week’s Iowa caucuses with a 7-point lead in the state – and ended up finishing second to U.S. Sen. But he powered to a “comeback kid” second-place finish against Paul Tsongas from neighboring MA, showing his campaign had resilience and reach after a poor finish in Iowa.
His campaign has worked hard to make him seem more understanding of voters’ needs. He blasted what he said was Trump’s proclivity for “insulting women, castigating Hispanics, ridiculing the disabled and calling American POWs losers”. Trump then joked, for the sake of the press, that he was reprimanding her.
And, by the way, those delegates are bound to vote for Trump at the Republican National Convention in July, because of changes to the Republican National Committee’s rules – that all states that hold their nominating contests before March 15 must award their delegates on a proportional basis, and they must be bound to the candidates.
The polls are open in New Hampshire.
Kasich’s journey has been more docile.
On the Democratic Party’s side of the fence, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is an underdog for the first time this election cycle.
Donald Trump who despite enjoying a substantial lead in opinion polls, knows there are still some who can’t stand him.
A snowstorm swept across the state but it did not slow down the last, tense full day of campaigning ahead of the primary. Although campaign manager Robby Mook is expected to stay, some Clinton allies have said new advisers may be brought in after Tuesday. In a post-debate email to supporters, Rubio’s campaign spun the repetition as the candidate sticking “to his guns on why Obama has been an bad president!!!”
Clinton claimed she was a “progressive that gets things done” in the debate, crafting a narrative that accuses Sanders’ ideas of being unlikely realities.
Kasich’s Goldilocks pitch, though, did not immediately win over the undecided voter, to whom he later joked that he would blame a loss here on her. If neither early state shows much interest in her, does she expect to win in bigger, more expensive states?
Three years after “Dynasty” wrapped up on TV, these were the stirrings of the dynastic politics that would follow, through George W. Bush’s presidency in the 2000s, brother Jeb’s effort now and Hillary Clinton’s 2008 and 2016 campaigns.

“We are taking our message to families that are struggling to raise their children in the 21st Century, because as you saw, Jeanette and I are raising our four children in the 21st Century”, Rubio said.
