Trump, Sanders Sweep to Victory in New Hampshire Primaries: NBC News
by CARRIE DANN

Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders will win the New Hampshire primaries, NBC News projects, outcomes that are certain to send further shockwaves through the anxious political establishments of both parties.

Since he began to dominate the race after his entry last summer, Trump has bewildered party regulars with his bombastic style and his appeal to GOP voters disaffected with more traditional candidates. His win Tuesday, following a second-place finish in Iowa last week, seals Trump's position as a legitimate candidate for the Republican nomination and all but ensures a more prolonged primary fight as the GOP candidates turn their attention to the South Carolina primary in less than two weeks.

Establishment-minded Republicans had hoped that the state's notoriously choosy voters would coalesce around one of their preferred candidates rather than affirming Trump, but no single challenger has emerged at the head of the pack. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush were in a fight for second place as the votes continue to come in Tuesday.

Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist who hails from neighboring Vermont, had battled fiercely with consensus front-runner Hillary Clinton this week since losing by a razor-thin margin in last week's Iowa contest. Clinton cast Sanders as an unrealistic zealot for progressive purity without adequate experience to govern a divided country, and former President Bill Clinton suggested that some of Sanders' supporters used sexist language in opposing his wife's presidential bid.

For his part, Sanders hammered Clinton for her ties to Wall Street and big business, portraying her as beholden to callous and corrupt corporate interests who disdain the middle class. A contentious head-to-head debate last week on MSNBC in New Hampshire only fueled the race further.

1. 85% of voters under 30 voted for Bernie

wow

[groundloop]

4. Even if those voters turn out in November, sadly they'll be no-shows in 2018

[elmac]

9. A president Sanders will get them to show up in 18

he won't sit back and let the fascists run over him, he will give them hell & supporters will follow his lead.

[Bernin]

19. Exactly!

This is only the first salvo.
If congress obstructs the solutions.
The 2018 elections will be the biggest turnout and blood letting in midterm history.

This revolution is not 1 and done.

10. Thank you.

He will inevitably do something that people don't like and his supporters will turn on him and we will have repuke super majorities in both houses.
Because that is how politics work.

13. You don't know that. If you get people hopeful about politics, maybe they will.

I don't think it's helpful to think or act that way. Many are turned off because they feel badly represented in government. If they feel that something is changing in their favor, the pattern will change.

17. I Think

we've been down this "hopeful" road a few times already. Usually with the same sad results.

[litlbilly]

16. might be different this time, they will stay engaged like no other time. Bernie will make sure of

that

[freebrew]

21. DWS won't be in charge then...

Bernie may well get things started in that area.

[William Seger]

2. "certain to send further shockwaves"

... because the polls were right?

[mdbl]

5. The polls are only wrong when George W Bush is running

Anyone notice that? All of sudden the polls were all wrong. What a weird time in history.

[mdbl]

3. let's keep the momemtum going

Good to see voters with common sense coming to the polls.

6. gotta win your backyard, or you got no plot!

good going Bernie! Feel the bern (until Hillary extinguishes it)

[humbled_opinion]

8. I also wish your candidate similar future outcomes n/t

[calguy]

14. Bernie should enjoy this win

He is smart enough to know that after tonight the terrain gets much tougher. Now we go to larger states with more diverse populations that represent the real US population. And he won't have six months to campaign ineach state either.
Super Tuesday is but few short weeks away.

[Android3.14]

7. Next time, try debating the issues rather than insulting our intelligence

Would you like some

to go with that

[Gene Debs]

11. Lotta profane sexists in New Hampshire, clearly.

[Peace Patriot]

12. Sanders wins blowout (58% to 41%) and Trump gets the lead 3 paragraphs?

Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, thump, thump, thump, thump, here come the boots of the corrupt, lying, disgusting Corporate Media.

I held my nose and went to the NBC site to check this out specifically. Wasn't surprised. Won't go there again, except to check out particular lies and deceptions.

I'm also finding it strange that the site I've been following

http://www.decisiondeskhq.com/

which has a nice map of NH with precincts defined (color-coded for candidates), is now saying:

With 18.9% of votes counted:

Sanders 60.0%
Clinton 39.2%.

Did NBC pick and choose its results reporting to minimize Sanders' landslide?

Don't know decisiondeskhq at all, so can't be sure what to think of this. All I know is that NBC stinks as badly as the entirety of the Corporate Media.

18. An't it a CROCK???

Bernie landslides and it's about the mentalty fargile guy who got 1/3 of the vote in a Republican state.
Bernie goes ~ 60-40 with the person proclaimed a winner months back but it's all about a guy who used to have a tv show.

A "reality" show that was a fey version of reality.

[GreatGazoo]

20. +1, nothing new or unexpected on the GOP side but HRC is down 0 - 2

after failing to win Iowa in a decisive way.

The Clinton campaign will be rearranging the deck chairs today. Hopefully the MSM can cover that without putting Trump in the lede.

[onehandle]

15. Dupe.
