While Clinton and the Republican establishment candidates have campaigned hard on their viability in a general election, just 12 percent of voters in either party said their main concern was choosing a candidate who could win in November.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a native son of Pittsburgh, poured all of his resources into New Hampshire and emerged with a life-sustaining second place. Then came three bad minutes in Saturday night’s debate when he was being attacked by Chris Christie, and Rubio’s momentum came to a screeching halt.

Sanders’ team described the $5.2 million haul as “shattering the campaign’s previous record for money raised in less than a day”. “You gotta make it pay off somewhere and with New Hampshire gone, SC looms larger than before”. I think Bernie Sanders, like Donald Trump, has hit a nerve and I think a lot of Americans are frustrated with the government for various reasons. “I mean, you talk about someone that’s never struck a blow against anyone in this race, who has conducted himself with class and with dignity, whose family are phenomenal people.

And it’s not SC and Nevada, upcoming early states where fewer of those women will be white.

“I am looking forward to a week of wall-to-wall coverage on Fox News of the impressive third-place finish”, Cruz said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. But at the other end, we were excited about their economic policies and to hopefully turn things around in Washington.
“I think that she still has a well-financed and a well-organized campaign and this is not going to be over any time soon”, said Espinoza. So we’ll have to see how that plays out.

Although we’re not sure what kind of president Christie would be, we’ll certainly miss him at the debates.
