“THE DONALD” DOMINATES GOP PRIMARY, BERNIE SANDERS WINS BIG OVER HILLARY ON DEMOCRATIC SIDE …

In the first primary test of the 2016 electoral cycle, two anti-establishment insurgents scored big wins.

Or “yuge” (a.k.a. “huge”) wins, as the most colorful of the two candidates would say …

Donald Trump was the runaway winner of the New Hampshire GOP presidential primary – easily outdistancing a trio of establishment “Republicans” as well as U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who narrowly (and controversially) won the Iowa Caucus last week.  In fact Trump appeared poised to more than double up his closest competitor … a margin that should give his campaign a big boost heading into early-voting South Carolina, where he also holds a large lead in the polls.

With nearly 90 percent of the vote counted, Trump had 35.1 percent – easily outdistancing Ohio governor John Kasich (15.9 percent), Cruz (11.6 percent), former Florida governor Jeb Bush (11.1 percent), U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida (10.6 percent) and New Jersey governor Chris Christie (7.5 percent).

Trump’s win was called less than five minutes after Granite State polls closed at 8:00 p.m. EST – meaning “Live Free or Die” GOP voters explicitly rebuked the advice of their party leaders.

Also called early?  A big win for independent socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who was declared the victor of the Democratic primary over presumed 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

It’s time for a motivated sub-set of GOP voters in primary states to have a say.

I am surprised that Trump’s margin of victory is currently eighteen points. Did not think it will be that large. I am disappointed that Bernie did not annihilate Hillary, although the win was substantial..

As of now Trump is at 34%, when the herd thins 34% will not cut it and I don’t think he can pull much more than that.

Cruz voters and Trump voters are interchangeable, so you are not correct.

The GOP race would probably look different if there were only 2 people running. That’s going to be Trump’s strength – keep the 4-5 contenders running while he runs up the wins with less than 40% of the vote.

Clinton is really only running against 1 other contender, vs 5 others Trump is running against, so the vote dilution makes the statistic not applicable.

He put out a plan a few weeks back – higher taxes on individuals, corps and wall street. Will never happen while the GOP is the majority in congress. So they are empty promises. Like some of the nonsense Trump proposes – won’t fly in the house or senate.

WHY? Carson needs to go too.

Carly Fiorina, who was in the bottom tier of candidates in the early returns from New Hampshire on Tuesday, pledged to continue her presidential bid.

“I am convinced this is my highest calling as a leader,” she said, speaking at her primary night party at a Manchester country club alongside her husband, Frank. “You have given me the energy and the determination and the wind at our backs as we continue this fight.”
