GOP front-runner Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders have been declared the winners of the first primary of the 2016 election season in New Hampshire Tuesday.
It's especially a big night tonight in the Republican race for the nomination, as several GOP candidates had been competing for the coveted second spot behind Trump, who led in New Hampshire polls by double-digit margins for months.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich claimed the GOP's second spot Tuesday.
After results were posted, the Huffington Post ran with the headline, "A racist, sexist demagogue just won the New Hampshire primary."
CNN's Wolf Blitzer declared the victory represents a "major, major win for Donald Trump."
And CNN's Jack Tapper said Trump's win is a "remarkable thing to behold."
The New Hampshire Secretary of State William Gardner predicted 550,000 ballots would be cast, a turnout of about six in 10 registered voters.
A CNN exit poll Tuesday found about 75 percent of GOP voters said they were very worried about the U.S. economy, 60 percent said they were very worried about terrorism, and 90 percent said they were dissatisfied with the federal government.
And an ABC News exit poll found two-thirds of Republican voters said they favor a temporary ban on U.S. entry for Muslims who are not U.S. citizens, an idea that originated with Trump in December. Also, nearly half of GOP voters said they want a candidate from "outside the political establishment."

Hillary only chance to weather the investigation is to stay in ..she can’t get out if she wanted to ... this is going to get very interesting ..you are totally right on the GOPe as well, they are in the same boat with Trump ..they are powerless and I love it
Step to the plate Mr. Trump and hit another home run.
Any blood?
Don't jump to conclusions. Maybe they were referring to Bernie Sanders.
Hehehehe
Oooooooo, you bad!
Lol!!!
NH always goes for the most liberal, so I guess they picked the right one. Kasich would probably have been #1 otherwise.
SAY WHAT?!!!
I have been thinking the same thing. The Hillary dems need to be very careful how they treat Bernie because if Bernie is squished and treated poorly the Bernie voters might just say screw you we ain’t voting in the general election.
You are a gracious voter in your congratulations to Trump.
I am a Trump supporter but if he were not nominated and Cruz was I would gladly vote for Cruz.
Wish more people on this forum were like us.
Yes. He. Is.
Go Trump!
A few days ago Limbaugh said that Hillary was finished and would never be president. In all the years I’ve listened to Rush I have never heard him say something as definitive. Hillary going down!
What impresses me most about Trump is how his family rallies around him. Truly wonderful!
“I am Cruz supporter but you have to give the man his due. CONGRATS! GREAT JOB TRUMP!!!”
Same here. Congratulations to Mr. Trump!
So, if Cruz finishes third, he’s the third most liberal R in the race?
Megyn looked especially demonic tonight.
You could see she was not happy about the results. For one thing she will not be getting any of the Trump interviews gravy train. That will go to her colleagues but not her. This is eating her alive.
Did they mention the thieving, corrupt communist winning the ohe other side?
