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.

Not after what Cruz did to Carson in Iowa.It was dishonest and Trump made sure it was on display for all to see. Cruz apologoized to carson but youcould see that all of the candidates and the audience of that debate simply saw more sang froid. Cruz is a gonner.He could have gottne away with it on any other of the candidates, but the country loves Carson, something Cruz overlooked.I’d say that Carson and Trump will be working together from here on out.
I’d say Cruz has now peaked and will join the “has been” community. Cruz was tested and found lacking.
In the main this race will now be between Yeb, the Rube and the Trumpinator. Kasich has no ground game or money, hardly a nose under the tent.
New Heroin? I like that as much as Red Hampshire.
lol - and steer clear of Ft. Marcy Park.
She should like Trump - her book deal wouldn’t have been worth $10 million if he hadn’t propelled her to more fame.
He also didn’t understand that when people are told a candidate is going to drop out, and please switch your vote, they generally comply. Those dynamics are pretty powerful.
That’s hilarious!
Although the polls say he does quite well. Reality is Hillary is just not very popular. Anyone in our field has a good chance top outperform her. She’s a terrible candidate.
Debt-ridden millennials have emerged as a political force. Some of them lean to the left, and some lean to the right, but they don’t like the results of the system their parents allowed to be rigged.
I didn't make any comments about Iowa. I just know (mainly because I live in New England) that New Hampshire "isn't even close to being a Red State".
Glad you like it. Trump vs Sanders? Doesn’t get any better.
