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.

NBC has announced the same thing. Brave folks... /s
Subtle. But I see what they did there.
Same for Fox News.
Thanks for the mention.
Kasich coming in at #2? Gives you a sense of what kind of state we’re talking about.
No shock at all. Whats the numbers so far?
Hooked like a fish ...

Kasich coming in 2nd kills any momentum for Cruz and Rubio. Perfect situation.
Go Trump!
I mentioned last week that Iowa was just that, Iowa.
No one wins Iowa and the nomination (As a percentage of winners versus eventual nominees.) is automatic or even a majority guaranteed.
Iowa’s caucus system is so antiquated, easy to manipulate, stonewall opposition and brow beat attendees into submission or agreement. That’s how Obama won in in 2008.
That’s how Clinton won it in 2016, she of the 6 for 6 magical coin flips.
The tsunami for Trump begins tonight. It’s pretty much game over. No other candidate has the ground game and resources to make a race of it in enough states through the SEC primary to matter.
No home grown candidate in any state on the primary schedule is ahead of Trump.
I predict that Ted Cruz will not win another primary...he’s Santorum all over again. Trump is the one to watch.
The race is just getting started.
**Yawn**
Run little sand Moslems
Did you know his father was a mailman?
Sanders WON'T.
Exit polls show Jebbie will come in around 5th.

Right now, Kasich at 16%, and Yeb! is at 12%. Ugh.
