Millions of people are standing with Sanders. However, the senator is still struggling to make inroads with black and Hispanic voters.
The contest among the three mainstream candidates appears to be a race against Mr Trump and a primary-within-a-primary among Mr Bush, Mr Rubio and Ohio Governor John Kasich to win the right to ultimately challenge Mr Trump and Mr Cruz.
“I can change the game because I really have a chance of NY, I’m going to win Virginia”. After largely avoiding a sustained advertisement assault in New Hampshire, Mr Trump is likely to face more attacks here, a state where campaigns can turn rough.

But both men are antithetical to the GOP establishment in policy disagreements and personal style.
Kasich banked much of his bid on New Hampshire, and secured second place here by a healthy margin. Kasich, a more moderate Republican, poured almost all of his campaign resources into the state.
On the Democratic side, two states have now voiced skepticism about Clinton’s candidacy.
“They’re throwing everything at me except the kitchen sink, and I have the feeling that kitchen sink is coming pretty soon”, he said in a buoyant victory speech. Lindsey Graham.
