Donald Trump wins NH, but Jeb Bush has strong night
Tampa Bay Times ^ | 2/10/16 | Alex Leary

Donald Trump stormed back into the national spotlight by winning the New Hampshire primary Tuesday and Democrat Bernie Sanders avenged his narrow Iowa loss to Hillary Clinton.

-snip-

"You've all reset the race," Bush declared to his well-organized supporters. "This campaign is not dead. We're going to South Carolina." As he began to speak in Manchester, television networks switched to Trump's victory address, denying Bush his moment.

Still, Bush earned new life and scored a psychological victory over Florida rival Marco Rubio, who finished fifth, his claim of momentum stunted after a poor debate performance Saturday in which he robotically repeated the same talking points, looking unsettled amid a brutal attack from Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey.

Jeb is dead, he just doesn’t know it yet. He finished behind Kasich and barely beat Rubio. He will spend another 40 million in South Carolina and go home.

Bush earned new life and scored a psychological victory...

The last time I checked, psychological victories do not elect candidates.

Stick a fork in him...he's done.

Sadly Cruz also was spinning third place as a great victory.

The smell of fresh manure is strong with them. I guess the Bush PAC seeking some semblance of hope convinced them to scrawl this screed.

Jeb couldn’t beat conservative Cruz for third and FL media calls it a strong night for him?

They’re smoking crack and here’s the crucial number they don’t mention - Jeb has ZERO - let’s repeat that again - ZERO delegates after IA and NH.

Must be Common Core math down in Tampa.

New Hampshire doesn’t pick Republican presidents.

Someone should do the math of voting percent per money spent. I heard Jeb might have spent in NH more than 50X more money than did Cruz. Says it all.

Yeah, 4th place at what 10 or 11 percent is considered strong?

With Rubio’s poor showing, the MSM is gearing up once again to try and choose our designated loser for November.
