Trump, Sanders take New Hampshire Primary

  • by

Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders won the Republican and Democratic primaries for New Hampshire tonight. They were declared the winners at 8 p.m., with neither win being a surprise.

Trump’s win left Republicans questioning if any “establishment” candidate could take on the two outsiders who have won so far – Donald Trump and Ted Cruz who won Iowa.

For Democrats who had hoped to lure Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren into a presidential campaign, independent Sen. Bernie Sanders might be the next best thing. Sanders, who is opening his official presidential campaign Tuesday in Burlington, Vermont, aims to ignite a grassroots fire among left-leaning Democrats wary of Hillary Rodham Clinton. He is laying out an agenda in step with the party's progressive wing and compatible with Warren's platform _ reining in Wall Street banks, tackling college debt and creating a government-financed infrastructure jobs program.

“It was right across the board, with men, with women, with young, with old, you know, everything,” Trump said after his victory speech in an interview on CNN. “To win every single category was perhaps the greatest honor of all.”

The GOP race is now headed to South Carolina, where Trump and Cruz are once again the favorites to win on February 20.

Bernie Sanders’s win raises doubts about Hillary Clinton’s campaign, which had at one point seemed like the only answer.

In 2008 Clinton won the New Hampshire primary in a massive comeback against Barack Obama, but she failed to repeat today.
