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.

Trump will kick ass from here out. South Carolina will be a big win for him.
Funny watching the meltdown of both the Fox Rubio whores and Huff Po.
Ouch!
:D
Ground game is not door knocking. Ground game is personal contact via phone and internet as you describe. Have not seen much from Trump so far. He needed an organization in Iowa in my opinion.
Cruz is more of a southerner than W Bush was, who was born in New Haven Connecticut
I agree with your description, but because in the end it is about turning out bodies, and Cruz had the bodies and the wherewithal to do it, and Trump and John Ellis Bush had one or the other but not both, I believe Cruz truly earned the win. I wouldn’t call it rigging the system (unless, like Obama, you bus in out of staters, but that is out and out cheating).
Kasich is counting on Ohio. I think it’s a winner take all state and he should win it.
It is Byzantine.
You have to think of the Iowa caucus system like the electoral vote versus the popular vote. That’s the best widely understood analogy politically speaking you can use.
Between the proportional allocation of state delegates to how they’re awarded by precinct wins it truly is a historically antiquated system. It goes back to agrarian roots of people showing up at the county courthouse and probably very arcane and obscure state voting precedents that may even be holdovers from the time before Iowa was even a state.
Cue the Sheeple gif.
Suck it, loser. HHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHA
Sadly, Kasich will win Ohio.
Two elderly leftists throwing aside their walkers and throttling each other to the ground?
Trump just did not understand the Caucus system and still does not as evidenced by his remarks. Trump failed to understand the dynamics of a group in a same room taking sides, he didn’t understand PEER PRESSURE at the time of voting and trial votes... Thank goodness most of the rest of the country votes by a different method.
Trump should have had the Team Cruz did to go around and cajole voters... People inside pressure groups vote differently than in a private voting boot where no one is allows to campaign any where near.. a private unpressured decision is made ... AND THAT WAS WHAT BEAT TRUMP — his lack of knowledge of the Caucus system of so called voting.
Does anyone have the real numbers of the votes for each person and can post them?
I guess the trump campaign is over he lost in Iowa.
First time I’ve seen this....FNC just projected Kasich to come in 2nd.
LOL!!!! FNC is pathetic.
Clue: Texas is in the south
Don’t be too sure about Kasich winning Ohio.
Adele is yet another person more conservative than is Trump.
He’s got 59 percent with 26.5% Precincts Reporting
