[h=2]Sanders, Trump notch victories[/h]Just after 8 p.m. Eastern,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>highly favored front-runners Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump were declared winners. As many predicted, the contest on the GOP side<span style="color: Red;">*</span>is now for second place ...
[h=2]Oh, my[/h]The Huffington Post, which once relegated Donald Trump coverage to its entertainment section, is not playing around now:
Our Jessica Estepa fleshes out the rest of this development here.
[h=2]How did they win with so few votes tallied?[/h]Our own Paul Singer explains:
[h=2]It may be a long wait for the rest of the actual results[/h]Reports suggest some polling places may have to extend their hours as voters continue to line up. The New Hampshire Union Leader is reporting that officials will allow those in line in Merrimack to vote. There is only one polling place for the town's 19,000 voters.
[h=2]Marco Roboto showdown[/h]Democrats did some master trolling of Marco Rubio.
Folks dressed up as robots, including one dubbed “Marco Roboto,” have taunted Rubio at polling places and even got into some scuffles with the Florida senator’s supporters. In Manchester, a “robot” from American Bridge, a Democratic group, chased Rubio’s campaign bus and tried to stalk the senator himself.
“The ‘Talking Point 3000’ was swarmed and surrounded by Rubio supporters (and staff),” American Bridge reported, adding that he was “forcefully knocked to the ground.”
“But undeterred, The Talking Point 3000 sprung back up, like a (robotic) phoenix from the ashes of his former self, and continued to cheer on his fellow machine, Marco RubioBot, with the highest of energy.”
The hijinks are part of an effort to highlight Rubio’s performance in Saturday’s debate, when he repeated — over and over — what appeared to be canned talking points.
[h=2]Trump being Trump[/h]The Donald is simply doing what The Donald does, Sen. Ted Cruz tells reporters in New Hampshire who asked him what he thought of being called a p---y Monday by the real estate mogul.
“If you vote for me, we're going to repeal every word of Obamacare,” Cruz said, ABC reports. “Donald can’t defend that substance. So instead his approach is to engage in a profane insult. I’m not going to respond in kind.”
As for Trump, he took a wee break from the trail, apparently:
[h=2]Ben Carson to New Hampshire: Thanks, see ya ...[/h]Ben Carson was lambasted last week for taking time off the campaign trail to head to Florida for a "fresh set of clothes." Now he's on the move again, heading to South Carolina before the votes are even<span style="color: Red;">*</span>tallied in the Granite State.
"After several stops meeting with New Hampshire voters, supporters and media today, Dr. Carson will be en route to South Carolina to continue his campaign for faith, integrity and common sense leadership," his campaign said in a statement.
Support for the retired neurosurgeon has tanked in the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>polls. In New Hampshire, he went from second place behind Trump in November to last place this week,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>according to RealClearPolitics. Earlier Tuesday, he was relegated to<span style="color: Red;">*</span>fielding questions about whether he would take a vice presidential slot on the ticket.
He told Fox Business that if Donald Trump is the nominee, “I certainly would sit down and discuss it with him.”
“I would have to have major philosophical alignment with whoever it was, and I would have to have guarantees that I could do some substantial things,” he said.
But Carson suggested he wasn’t ready to give up his own ambitions for the top spot.
“It’s truly not what I'm aiming to do,” he said. “I’m aiming to really change this country.”
