Both Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, and Trump, a real estate mogul who has never held political office, have tapped into the public’s frustration with the current political system.

While Mr Sanders’ victory means he is assured of a majority of the state’s pledged delegates, Mrs Clinton remains ahead in the overall delegate count due to support from super-delegates – party officials who can support the candidate of their choice at the convention.
The bombastic billionaire Donald Trump easily won the Republican primaries with more than a third of the vote, while independent Sen.
In second place was Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a favorite of the type of moderate Republican voters who are plentiful in New Hampshire but increasingly rare in many other states.
Sanders’ win was also telegraphed for weeks, as his indictment of Wall Street and big money in politics caught fire in a state that was once considered a reservoir of good will for both Clinton and her husband.
The next votes are in Nevada for the Democrats and SC for Republicans on February 20th.
Mr Sanders told a raucous victory party that his win sent a message “that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors” and their political committees.
This New Hampshire primary has fulfilled many expectations. He said that people supported him because he is not politically correct and because he is true to himself when speaking publicly. Candidate Bill Clinton masterfully framed his second-place finish in New Hampshire in 1992 as a big victory for the “Comeback Kid”.
After New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie knocked Rubio for delivering repetitive remarks, the senator’s events have been dogged by protesters dressed as robots holding signs with slogans like “Marco Roboto” and “Rubio Talking Points 3000”. “Clearly he’s brought a lot of new people into the fold”.
Trump, the Republican frontrunner, spent much of Monday launching fierce personal attacks on ex-Florida Governor Jeb Bush. “But they’re also hungry, they’re hungry for solutions”, she said after congratulating Sanders on his victory. She said he’s a. That’s awful.
With Ms Clinton winning the first caucus in Iowa, Larry Sanders, a former social worker who moved to the United Kingdom from Brooklyn, New York, in the 1960s, said his sibling had done better than he expected.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio came in third among evangelical voters, garnering about 13 percent of their vote. How does Hillary Clinton, also headed to NY, respond to her New Hampshire thumping amid talk of a campaign shake-up.
Rubio failed to dispatch Bush, seeing a drop in his support after a debate on Saturday in which he drew criticism for repeating rehearsed lines from his stump speech.
About three-quarters of GOP voters say they’re very anxious about the economy, while 6 in 10 say they’re very anxious about terrorism. “Log Cabin Republicans does not endorse in primaries and we still have a long way to go before either Party has a nominee, but tonight the people of New Hampshire should be commended for setting the tone of subsequent primaries by standing on the side of equality while the eyes of the nation were focused on them”. South Carolina RepublicanChairman Matt Moore lashed out at Trump’s plan to temporarily ban Muslims from the U.S.as un-American and unconstitutional.

The survey was conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks by Edison Research as voters left their polling places at 44 randomly selected sites in New Hampshire. During the 2008 primary, only 56 per cent of Democratic voters said the same, exit poll data show.
