But exactly how Tuesday’s results will change the 2016 presidential race may not be clear for days or even weeks. But Trump did roughly the same among people who feel betrayed by Republican politicians and those who don’t.

But Kasich, who has strong ties with the Ohio Jewish community, grabbed 16% to finish on top of the heap of rivals vying for the support of the establishment wing of the party.

It may very well come down to that, a tooth and nail fight for every vote for a nomination that political pundits had predicted that Clinton would win easily. He doubled the vote of his closest competitor.
The White House hopefuls are preparing for a bruising primary battle in SC, a day after the New Hampshire contest. Candidate Bill Clinton masterfully framed his second-place finish in New Hampshire in 1992 as a big victory for the “Comeback Kid”.
“Maybe we are turning a page on the dark side of American politics because tonight, the light overcame the darkness”, Kasich told supporters.

With a minimal SC operation compared to his rivals, Kasich must work quickly.
“And that is that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors and their Super PACs”. “The truth is, I just didn’t want to get into a Republican-on-Republican fight but in hindsight that probably wasn’t the best way to approach it”.
Maria, a supporter of Mr Sanders, turned up to vote with her young daughter. SANDERS AND SHARPTON In an apparent attempt to chip away at Clinton’s strong support among African-American voters, Sanders was to meet early on Wednesday with civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton at a restaurant in New York City’s Harlem neighbourhood. She doesn’t have to win them all over, but she can’t afford to lose 80% of them in future contests.
