pie-kun 1,765 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 This is a huge win for Trump, not so much because he won but because Marco Rubio is doing so badly. Rubio is Trump's biggest threat to the nomination because the establishment had been getting behind Rubio after his strong showing in Iowa and Trump's candidacy has benefited from the establishment being split between candidates. This weak showing by Rubio throws the whole establishment into chaos again and calls into question their ability to get behind a candidate before it's too late to stop Trump.Β On the Democratic side, this doesn't change the race much. Sanders has been polling well here since last year and he's made a lot of investments in the state. This state is very friendly to Bernie because of its lack of diversity. Bernie's base is primarily young, white people who identify as liberals and New Hampshire has the 2nd whitest voting base in the America only behind Bernie's home state of Vermont.Β The third whitest voting base in the country? Iowa. And he narrowly lost there. So unless he can make some serious gains with minority voters over the coming weeks, he's going to lose the upcoming elections in Nevada and South Carolina badly and probably be out of the race after March 1st.

Bebe 17,289 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Love how Hillary mentioned campaign financing in her speech. It's really incredible and honourable how far left Bernie pushed the conversation. I find a hard time trusting Hillary when she changes her opinion constantly based on what is popular though, at least Bernie has had unpopular opinions in the past and sticks with it because he believes in his ideals.

Redstreak 6,653 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I agree with Bebe in that I'm somewhat hesitant of Hillary because it seems she only changes a position when it becomes beneficial, but that's what's great about Bernie. He's forced her to be so publically left that if she does end up getting the nomination the democratic base will hold her accountable. I'd be happy to vote for her if Bernie doesn't get the nomination. Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
