CNN: TRUMP, SANDERS WIN
CNN ^ | February 10

Posted on 02/09/2016 5:14:08 PM PST by Helicondelta

Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders have cruised to victories in the New Hampshire primary, CNN projects, in results that will rock the establishments of both parties and confirm the strength of outsider candidates in a wild presidential race.

Trump's victory restores the mantle of a winner to the billionaire reality star's campaign after he finished second last week in Iowa and validates him as a powerful new force in American politics.

Sanders, meanwhile, delivered a painful blow to Democratic rival Hillary Clinton after she edged out the slimmest of victories in Iowa.

I want Yeb to have single digits!

I don't want Jeborah to drop out too soon. He needs to stick it out long enough to bleed Rubio.

I really think this makes SC and beyond look very favorable to Trump.

Kasich has no path to the nomination but will remain due to his 2nd place finish, and continue to split the establishment vote.

What goes around comes around.

” I have not seen a ground game yet, have you?”

What is this, the 80’s? Ground game is now replaced by the Internet...twitter, facebook, instagram and to some extent email, but even that is old school. People don’t like strangers knocking on their door and most screen calls. The communication methods now are cheap and everyone does it. It’s the message and the person.

Tonight, (again), they showed the video of Jeb having his 90-year-old mother push her walker through the snow trying to save his laughable “campaign”.

Gee, wish I could have gotten his backers to give me $100 million dollars. I would have been able to give them some return on their money.

This is basically how the caucus system worked and why Obama won in 2008.

Precinct organizers estimate the past 5-10 turn outs and say we need to get to “X” to win. That number may be 50, 70, 150 or whatever depending on the precinct.

When Obama won in 2008 the Clinton campaign used that formula. They would say we need 75 to win here. The organizers would show up with 75 and assumed they’d win. Obama’s team stacked the deck and would show up with 100-120 supporters. They vastly overrecruited knowing how the game was played.

Even in situations where it was deadlocked or a close tie and a majority was needed the Obama people basically sat down on their hands and said “We’re not going anywhere until we win.”

HRC and J.E. Bush can exploit the money part of it, but Iowa is all about bodies actually showing up. Trump, same thing. Iowa is all about turnout, turnout, turnout neighborhood by neighborhood, county by county etc. The big campaigns can oversell/oversubscribe numbers in the large media counties/metros but not the entire state.

Like I said, it’s a very convoluted process and never truly explained in depth by the media. That’s why the “winner” in Iowa frequently turns out to win nothing at all.

The Clintonistas can spin this all they want. This is a huge defeat for her. Highlight of the day.

>> Kasich coming in at #2? Gives you a sense of what kind of state we’re talking about.

Yep. But we knew that going in.

At least this motley collection of New York Values voters has the good sense to pick stalin over satan’s bride, in the (D)ark side race.

Parties can do what they want, but caucusing is the equivalent of buying a dowry.

What I don’t get is how the hell did Kasich finish in 2nd when he is a pimple of a man and he is usually below Bush in single digits in polls nationwide. Kasich is governor in Ohio so why would New Hampshire think he is ready to be the next president? I don’t get it. Even in the debates he looks like a complete moron and a pathetic little man.

Kasich coming in 2nd kills any momentum for Cruz and Rubio. Perfect situation.

Yes, its important that the only conservative in the race do poorly. America needs a big orange liberal muppet to succeed!

Good point! And Trump is awesome on the internet.   His Twitter followers are growing 20,000 a day.
