He bashed Democrats from Clinton to Sanders to the current president of the United States, claiming that Iowans had “sent a very clear message that after seven years of Barack Obama, we are not waiting any longer to take our country back”.

Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders were moving on Wednesday from commanding wins in the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary to more diverse states that will challenge their transformation from outsider candidates to their parties’ presidential nominees.
Sanders coasted to victory in Tuesday’s primary on a wave of voter anger at traditional USA politicians. The other candidates have spent months jockeying to be the alternative to Trump.
As the charts show, there were differences, but they weren’t large. It remains to be seen whether the damage in the New Hampshire debate will be limited to New Hampshire, or whether his three minutes with Christie have done long-term damage to his national standing.
Senator Sanders did better in rural counties than in metropolitan areas.
He added that, if anything, Fox is talking more about the junior Florida senator because the top two spots in the Republican race are pretty-much set – Donald Trump and Ted Cruz – and the question is who will place third.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who immediately conceded the state to Sanders shortly after the polls closed, admitted the lag within the campaign’s appeal to younger voters in her concession speech, noting, “I know I have some work to do, especially with young people…but even if they don’t support me now, I support them”. Less than a percentage point separated each of those positions. “Sanders also won 70 percent of those who are unhappy with the way the federal government is working”. But which of those candidates will perform well enough to push on into March?
Donald Trump is wildly unpopular with Latinos, Muslims, millennials, registered independents and women voters.

Republican candidates participate in the final debate before voting begins in New Hampshire’s primary on Tuesday. “I don’t in any way hold that against him”. The Ohio governor conducted over 100 town hall meetings in the state and maybe that paid off in rural communities. Ms. Clinton, despite her broad support in the infrastructure of the Democratic Party, should be running scared. The New Jersey governor had pinned most of his hopes on New Hampshire, but stepped up his Iowa efforts late in the campaign. Just as a man should just vote for a man president? Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who rolled over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, has been able to do the same with his demagoguery about Wall Street and income inequality. She has mainly been losing the working-class vote.
