Trump, Sanders look to emerge from New Hampshire with wins

The ad, captured by advertising tracker CMAG/Kantar Media, began airing in the Greenville, South Carolina, media market on Monday evening, the night before the New Hampshire primary.

“All eyes are on second place”, Republican strategist Mercedes Schlapp said. Ted Cruz, victor of the Iowa caucuses, with 14 percent. Rubio finished second in Iowa. But he was thrown off his stride at Saturday’s debate where New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie challenged his readiness and mocked him for relying on scripted anti-Obama “talking points“.

“The whole race changed on Saturday”, Christie said of his smackdown of Sen.

Third place has been a tight race between former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, and Florida Senator Marco Rubio.

Despite his lowly position in the polls, Christie has spent the past few days basking in his debate assault on Rubio. He brought up NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke early on, saying that the exec tried to convince him to renew his deal for NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice” and didn’t believe that he would run for president.

Pollsters have noted that New Hampshire voters are famous for making their decision in the last 48 hours before the primary, warning there could be surprises. The large Republican field was winnowed after Iowa, but there remains a crowded grouping of more traditional candidates, including Rubio. “I’m very committed to them, they’re committed to doing the best we can”. Even a less-than-impressive finish in first place – a markedly smaller margin than the double digits the polls are showing – could weaken the victor narrative. The shift comes as Clinton’s pragmatic electability pitch to Democratic voters has failed to inspire much support, leading to a close finish in Iowa and expected loss in New Hampshire. John McCain is a hero.

Their dispute has essentially devolved into a nasty bout of name-calling.

Bush fired back on Twitter, writing “you aren’t just a loser, you are a liar and a whiner”.

“I did”, Christie said, while walking to his campaign bus.

Kasich, Bush and Christie all poured enormous resources into New Hampshire in hope of jumpstarting their White House bids in a state that has been friendly to moderate Republicans.

“She said, he’s a p***y“, he said.

Donald Trump raised eyebrows at his final rally before the New Hampshire primary today by repeating a vulgar slur shouted from the crowd about a rival candidate. HP CEO Carly Fiorina won 4 percent and Dr. Ben Carson won 2 percent.

Footsore but determined, America’s presidential candidates continued to push for votes on Tuesday – reaching out to voters and urging supporters to get people to the polls in what will likely be a crucial contest.

Similarly, 56 percent of voters in the 2008 Democratic primary said their political ideology was liberal; on Tuesday two-thirds of Democratic voters consider themselves liberal.

Clinton traversed the state’s snow-covered highways with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and daughter Chelsea Clinton in a push to maintain her edge in national polls and reassure the Democratic establishment backing her campaign.

It is a more volatile affair on the GOP side, with fully 30 percent of voters still undecided ahead of the primary, according to a CNN poll released Sunday.
