And award-winning writer Ta-Nehisi Coates also revealed on Wednesday that he plans to vote for the Vermont senator.

Dante Scala, an analyst on local politics at the University of New Hampshire, said that if Rubio did not do well in Tuesday’s primary, “it isn’t fatal necessarily, but it makes the road to the nomination longer and riskier”.
The discontent of much of the 2016 electorate is not only driving distrust of government and politicians who are seen as part of the Washington establishment.
“I don’t need to start these fights, but if someone starts one in the future we’re going to have to point out the differences in our records in a sharper way”, Rubio told reporters Wednesday aboard his charter flight from New Hampshire to SC.
Cruz, whose old “bromance” with Trump is a thing of the past, insisted that “the only person in this field who can beat Donald Trump is me”. “So she basically has the ability to just revive an existing political operation here, and she has had staff here for many months, and they’re doing what you do to win a caucus”.
The most immediate beneficiary of Kasich should be Jeb Bush.
Ted Cruz speaks to his supporters at a primary night gathering held at New Hampshire’s Alpine Grove Banquet facility Tuesday.
For Rubio, it is on to SC and Nevada. Almost 80 percent of Democratic primary voters said they’d be satisfied to have Sanders as their nominee; 62 percent said the same about Clinton.
“He assessed what the problem was, he took responsibility for it and now let’s move on and go to SC”, she said. Exit polls in New Hampshire showed the breadth of his appeal. Candidate Bill Clinton masterfully framed his second-place finish in New Hampshire in 1992 as a big victory for the “Comeback Kid”.
Segments of the Republican Party blamed Christie for Romney’s loss, and some of those resentments bubbled back to the surface this week after Christie clobbered U.S. Sen. And unlike Iowa and New Hampshire, the key constituencies will be minority voters.
“I can change the game because I really have a chance of NY, I’m going to win Virginia”.
Throughout the race, Christie stood out for his blunt statements and a seeming inability to sugarcoat his assessments of the competition – and by February, Marco Rubio was bearing the brunt of it. And Sanders made a pit stop in NY to discuss issues affecting African-Americans over breakfast with the Rev. Al Sharpton. All have expansive organizations in SC and several Super Tuesday states that will vote in March.
“I think the Supreme Court ruling will become the law of the land, and however much I may agree or disagree with it, I wouldn’t support an amendment to reverse it”, Fiorina had said on-camera in an interview posted with a conservative blog last summer.
Clinton and Sanders will meet for the next debate of the Democratic race on Thursday in Milwaukee, when Clinton’s outreach to younger women is sure to continue. In a primary stunner, Ohio Gov. John Kasich surged from relative obscurity to second place, a feat his poorly funded campaign will struggle to replicate in SC and beyond.
“The victory by Trump here has the makings of a major disaster for the establishment”, said Ford O’Connell, a Republican strategist.

“Last night’s results in New Hampshire weren’t what we hoped for”.
