Donald Trump, a celebrity businessman with no formal political experience, soared Tuesday to the most dominating Republican Party primary victory in New Hampshire in 16 years. And Republicans face the threat of having to settle for Ted Cruz, a politician many of them despise.
With final votes still being tallied, Trump led with 35 percent of the vote in New Hampshire.
The flush of cash is another major piece of good news from the Vermont lawmaker, who last month outraised former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, $20 million to $15 million, and has upset the political order with his 22-point win in New Hampshire and photo-finish in last week’s Iowa caucuses.
With no clear rival to Trump and Texas Sen.
“There’s too many candidates running”, said Mackowiak. “A lot of people are fed up with national politics, but there’s an entertainment factor”. “It’s on me. It’s on me”, he told his supporters. Those voters went to Kasich, who declared his second-place showing an affirmation of his largely positive campaign. They lost to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, and we know how that went.

ABC reported the Clinton was doing some “soul-searching” after Sanders routed her with 60 percent of the vote. That is why I believe so strongly that we have to keep up, with every fiber of our being, the argument for the campaign for human rights, human rights as women’s rights, human rights as gay rights, human rights as worker rights, human rights as voting rights-human rights across the board for every single American!
“The attack on Rubio seems like it was more of a suicide bombing”. Bush could use at least a 3rd place finish in SC to show he’s moving up and not behind.
The most Democratic areas of New Hampshire are in the state’s nonmetropolitan counties.
Kasich is trying to make some inroads in SC.
The Republican establishment doesn’t want to hear it, and some in the media may be in denial about it, but Donald Trump is a heavy favorite to win in SC.

Like in 2008, she may have a problem with caucus states if her supporters don’t get energized about her. Nevada is a caucus state. “This is probably the beginning of the end for Bernie”. With just two candidates left on the Democratic side of the presidential race, Clinton and Sanders have been battling it out in the polls.
