Looks like Rubio's robotic debate performance may bite him in the butt.

Results are coming out FYI:

So Rubio is dead, the New Hampshire lane is still messy, and Trump is looking like a real frontrunner again. Clinton also underperformed; Sanders might get a boost out of this.

I still think its too early. I wouldn't be surprised if Kasich cut Trump's lead (he's very popular with Independents). Only 10% in so far.

It's clear that Trump will win NH and the nomination.

Rubio at 9.8%. If he finishes below 10, he won't get any delegates from NH.

Poor Jeb is doing surprisingly well. Good, he won't get elected anyway.

Sanders' campaign just emailed. They won New Hampshire, gg.

I should have posted another "8 Reasons Why Not to Vote For Trump". Dammit.

At least Cruz is still in 3rd.

Maximilian -

We just won the New Hampshire primary.

I am about to head downstairs to address an enthusiastic group of supporters and volunteers. But what I am about to tell you is important:

There are 14 primaries and caucuses over the next three weeks, and you can be certain that our victory tonight will prompt a desperate response from the nation’s financial elite and the political establishment who want to stop our campaign to transform America.

Who knows what they're going to throw at us next. All I know is we must be ready to respond, organize, and win.

Make a $3 contribution to our campaign tonight and we are going to win this Democratic primary, the White House, and take our country back from the billionaire class.

Nine months ago, if you told somebody that we would win the New Hampshire primary, they would not have believed you. Not at all. Too bold, they would have said. Not enough money to compete against the billionaires.

You showed them tonight.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

@The Lord: it's spelled Jeb!, dumbass (but pronounced "guac")

^^^ These guys might as well drop out now.

Sanders, Hillary, Trump, Cruz, Bush might be our next Pres.

I don't think Kasich really has much of a chance- he's basically a democrat *calling* himself a Republican.

Really, Salty? Troll post much m8?

To my mind, it would be optimal if:

Cruz wins the first primary (which happened);

Trump wins second (which just happened);

Rubio and/or Bush win the third, with the other keeping just enough votes to think he still has a chance in the next primary, with the strongest of Trump/Cruz taking clear second and another person (someone like Carson?) taking third, leaving the weaker of Trump/Cruz at fourth.

Etc. The pattern continues to further primaries, with no one having a clear victory among Republicans primaries, but no one disheartened enough to back out of the race. What happens then, is, no one ever unifies the party enough to take down Trump. Trump wins nomination, gets wrecked by Democratic side and gg. This, to me, is the best solution currently possible.

That said, though, if Bloomberg runs ....

I have no idea.

Cruz wins the first primary (which happened);

Trump wins second (which just happened);

Rubio and/or Bush win the third, with the other keeping just enough votes to think he still has a chance in the next primary, with the strongest of Trump/Cruz taking clear second and another person (someone like Carson?) taking third, leaving the weaker of Trump/Cruz at fourth.

Sorry, no chance LOL.

Cruz won is super conservative Iowa- and he'll take second again in SC- but SC will *kill* everyone but Trump, Cruz, and Rubio. (Bush never really had a shot after Trump, and he won't be healing). Kasich is a democrat in repub clothing.

No, for the rest of the Republican primaries it will be Trump/Cruz/Rubio 1/2/3

Trump will probs pick Rubio/Carson as VP?

Either would be good for him.


And if Bloomberg runs, 100% chance of Republicans winning 2016- it'd screw over the Democrats and split the vote.

@The Lord: it's spelled Jeb!, dumbass (but pronounced "guac")

Can't be. He's too low energy. Actually you spell it like J... and then you fall asleep.

Sorry, no chance LOL.

I know it's not likely to happen.... but. If it did, I'd be grabbing popcorn and laughing all the way. :D

The NH GOP race is turning into JEB vs. CRUZ. Fox News has them split by only 7 votes. Its really make or break for Jeb if he can't get 3rd (in my mind).

What in the heck did Kasich do to get 2nd???
