 Donald Trump resoundingly won the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary Tuesday night, giving the billionaire mogul his first victory in an improbable and brash campaign that already has turned American politics upside down. 
 
 Ohio Gov. John Kasich, on the strength of his optimistic focus on economic renewal and lifting people out of the shadows, finished a distant second, while former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Sens. Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) headed toward a photo finish for third place. 
 
 Trump galvanized voters here with a visceral fixation on immigration and economic populism, affirming that even after last week’s setback in the Iowa caucuses, his candidacy has genuine appeal with the GOP base as well as with the independent voters who were part of his winning coalition. 
 
 Beaming as he claimed victory before hundreds of cheering supporters, Trump vowed to “work like hell” as president to fix what he sees as the nation’s chronic problems. 
 
 “We are going to make our country so strong,” Trump said. “We are going to start winning again. . . . We don’t win with anything. We are going to start winning again, and we are going to win so much, you are going to be so happy.”

 On the Democratic side, Sen. Bernie Sanders notched a decisive win over Hillary Clinton in a state she had won in 2008. The Vermont senator’s win sets the stage for long nominating battle against the former secretary of state who is struggling to right her once-formidable campaign. 
 
 Written off as a fringe candidate when he launched his bid last spring, Sanders has found a receptive audience for his populist, anti-establishment message. His insurgent message casting Clinton a member of the old guard appears to be resonating with many voters. Sanders’s appeal Tuesday was greatest among younger voters, according to exit polls reported by CNN and other networks. But he also won decisively among male voters and held his own among female votes against Clinton.

 “For many voters, there was a question about whether Senator Sanders’s message and his campaign could go toe to toe with the Clinton organization, and I think in Iowa he proved that we could,” said Sanders’s campaign mananger Jeff Weaver. “A victory in New Hampshire further amplifies that reality to voters all across the country.” 
 
 The Democratic race now moves to Nevada, which holds caucuses on Feb. 20, and then South Carolina, which holds a primary on Feb. 27. After that, 11 states hold contests on March 1, known as Super Tuesday. 
 
 Once a huge favorite in New Hampshire, Clinton had tempered expectations of late, and her campaign had sent out an email fundraising appeal that presaged her poor showing and looked ahead. “We absolutely, critically need to make sure Hillary comes out on top in the states that lie ahead,” the email said. “Our opponent is raising massive amounts of money online, and we need everyone on Team Hillary to step up, too.” 
 
 New Hampshire, the initial primary of the election year, could jolt the chaotic 2016 Republican race by re­invigorating the flagging candidacies of Kasich and Bush and delaying the winnowing of the establishment contenders.

 “There’s magic in the air with this campaign,” Kasich told supporters in Concord. “We see this as an opportunity for all of us — and I mean all of us — to be involved in something that’s bigger than our own lives, to change America, to reshine America, to restore the spirit of America and the leave nobody behind.” 
 
 Rubio, who arrived in New Hampshire last week on a roll after claiming momentum from his impressive third-place finish in Iowa, suffered at the polls after his halting performance in Saturday night’s debate and a week of intense attacks from his rivals. 
 
 “Our disappointment tonight is not on you — it’s on me. I did not do well on Saturday night. So listen to this: That will never happen again,” Rubio told supporters in an uncharacteristically subdued speech Tuesday night. 
 
 [New Hampshire primary election results] 
 
 Cruz, the Iowa victor, whose hard-line politics were an ill fit for New Hampshire, was in the hunt with Bush for third place. But New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who had staked his political future on this state, trailed the leading candidates in sixth. 
 
 Like many of his opponents, Christie was scheduled to take his campaign to South Carolina on Wednesday. But running low on money, and with the upcoming map looking bleak, he announced he would head home to New Jersey and discuss with his family whether to continue his campaign. 
 
 Turnout in the Republican primary was predicted by state officials to set a record of about 280,000 voters. 
 
 For Trump, the victory here was sweet vindication, showing that his atypical campaign — which invested relatively little in advertising, field organizing or data programs — could prevail largely on the power of celebrity and saturation media coverage. 
 
 In his speech Tuesday night, Trump cast himself as the savior for a beleaguered country. From trade to illegal immigration to terrorism to drug abuse, Trump said he offers the cure. 
 
 “I am going to be the greatest jobs president that God ever created — remember that,” Trump boasted. “We’re going to knock the hell out of ISIS.” 
 
 He added: “We are going to make America great again, but we are going to do it the old-fashioned way. . . . The world is going to respect us again, believe me.” 
 
 The margin of Trump’s win was the largest in a New Hampshire Republican primary since 2000, when John McCain defeated George W. Bush by 49 percent to 30 percent. 
 
 But there was also potential for concern in Tuesday’s outcome. As in Iowa, Trump faced doubts in the New Hampshire campaign about his discipline as a candidate and about whether he can build his support beyond the levels he has shown in the polls. 
 
 Those vulnerabilities are likely to be tested further in the upcoming contests in the South, starting with South Carolina’s Republican primary on Feb. 20 and turning a week later to a group of “Super Tuesday” states. 
 
 As the race moves south, Kasich faces immediate hurdles to prove that he is more than a one-state wonder. In the South, Trump has found deep and enthusiastic support for his incendiary nationalistic platform. Cruz is well positioned to contend with Trump for the top spot in those states because of his broad support from movement conservatives and evangelical Christians. 
 
 Jeb Bush, whose once-promising candidacy had languished since last summer, pulled out every stop over the past week in hopes for a finish strong enough to start a revival. Bush pledged to fight on to South Carolina, vowing that “this campaign’s not dead.” 
 
 He said pundits last week had declared “a three-person race between two freshman senators and a reality-TV star. And while the reality-TV star’s still doing well, it looks like you all have reset the race.” 
 
 Cruz avoided raising expectations that he might win in New Hampshire and instead tried to showcase his organizational strength in states where he thinks voters will be looking for an ideologically consistent conservative. 
 
 Another candidate with his eye on the South is Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, who sees a more hospitable environment for his soft-spoken and faith-infused conservatism. He finished fourth in Iowa but fell behind in New Hampshire amid campaign difficulties. 
 
 Twenty-three delegates were to be awarded proportionally in New Hampshire’s Republican primary, a fraction of the 1,237 total needed to secure the nomination. Yet in recent presidential campaigns, New Hampshire has played an important role in crowning the eventual nominee — Mitt Romney in 2012 and John McCain in 2008 — and the state prides itself on a better track record than Iowa of predicting winners. 
 
 But the state also has a history of being a launching pad for insurgent candidacies with a maverick streak, including Patrick J. Buchanan, who defeated Robert J. Dole in 1996, and McCain, who bested George W. Bush in 2000. Trump in many ways has echoed Buchanan’s nativist emphasis on immigration and trade. 
 
 Party leaders and prominent donors had hoped that New Hampshire would deliver a clarifying verdict that would anoint a consensus establishment candidate who could challenge Trump and Cruz. 
 
 But there was little finality to Tuesday’s result. The jumbled finish signaled that the nominating battle may be contentious and crowded for weeks to come as a half-dozen or so candidates see reasons to soldier on. 
 
 Kasich’s rise in New Hampshire was as quiet as Trump’s was loud. During a political season in which a number of voters seemed drawn to outsiders, Kasich ran squarely on his insider credentials: 18 years in the House, an architect of a balanced federal budget, a denizen of Wall Street and the Fox News Channel studios, and a two-term governor of Ohio. 
 
 The sometimes cantankerous 63-year-old governor shrugged off his skeptics, trained his eyes on New Hampshire and ground out an old-fashioned campaign. He held 106 town hall meetings in every corner of the state, charmed local Republican leaders and won a large share of newspaper endorsements. 
 
 In the closing days, as his opponents lobbed increasingly caustic attacks at one another, Kasich took a different route, refusing to engage in the negativity and sounding upbeat and even-tempered in Saturday night’s ABC News debate. 
 
 Celebrating his second-place finish, Kasich told supporters, “Tonight, the light overcame the darkness of negative campaigning.” 
 
 The debate was a harbinger for other candidates, too. Rubio’s jarring and mechanical repetition of his talking points — as Christie assailed him for being callow and rehearsed — zapped the energy that came with his Iowa finish. In the days since, he was widely mocked from local radio programs to national late-night television. 
 
 Although he tried, Rubio did not recover quickly enough to salvage his standing in New Hampshire. Still, he was set to carry on as a top-tier national candidate. 
 
 Despite having knocked Rubio down in the debate, Christie did not reap the rewards himself. He was burdened by his state’s fiscal record and administrative scandals as well as with stinging ads from a pro-Rubio super PAC highlighting some of the governor’s past liberal positions. 
 
 Bush also hoped to be buoyed by Rubio’s stall. Running as a conservative voice of reason and an aggressive Trump foe, he slowly found his footing here and was assisted by his allied super PAC’s substantial, multimillion-dollar advertising blitz. 
 
 Overall in New Hampshire, more than $72 million was spent by outside groups alone, including ad buys, media production and direct mailers, according to federal filings as of Feb. 9. 
 
 Carly Fiorina, a former technology executive who briefly ascended as a grass-roots favorite after fiery debate performances, finished with just 2 percent of the vote in Iowa. In New Hampshire, she clocked another finish in the low single digits, which could add pressure on her to drop out. 
 
 Anu Narayanswamy in Washington contributed to this report. ||||| Sen. Bernie Sanders and billionaire Donald Trump have won the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries in New Hampshire, in victories so decisive that the drama of primary night shifted to the Republicans battling for second, third and fourth place. 
 
 Projected to finish in second was Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a relatively moderate candidate who might face a difficult time unifying the party behind him in the next few primary states. After Kasich, there was a close race for third between Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.) — who won the Iowa caucuses last week — and former Florida governor Jeb Bush. 
 
 Behind all of them was Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), who had been seen as the strongest challenger to Trump until a disastrous debate performance on Saturday, in which New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie attacked Rubio and the senator responded by repeating the same talking point over and over. 
 
 But if Christie’s attack had hurt Rubio, it didn’t seem to have helped Christie himself: Christie was running behind Rubio, last among the four “establishment” candidates. 
 
 The results for his challengers seemed to be a good one for Trump, since it was likely that a large number of them would continue on to the next primaries, dividing the voters who want to see Trump defeated.

 [New Hampshire primary election results] 
 
 In the Democratic race, Sanders was projected as the winner over former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, who had been seen as her party’s prohibitive favorite a year ago. 
 
 “Nine months ago, we began our campaign here in New Hampshire, we had no campaign organization. We had no money. And we were taking on the most powerful political organization in the United States of America,” Sanders said to his supporters. “And tonight, with what it appears to be a record-breaking voter turnout, because of a huge voter turnout – and I say YUGE! – we won,” Sanders said, poking fun at the New York City accent he shares with Trump. The crowd had yelled “YUUUGE!” along with him. 
 
 Sanders said that the enthusiasm his supporters showed in New Hampshire could be replicated in other primaries and in a general election, with a strongly left-wing message drawing out new voters who’d be left unenthused by a centrist. 
 
 “That is what will happen all over this country!” Sanders said. 
 
 Sanders is a self-identified “democratic socialist,” originally little known outside Washington and his home state of Vermont. But he built a massive movement with rousing attacks on the power of Wall Street, and a promise of a “political revolution” that would provide universal, government-run health insurance and free public-college tuition. 
 
 Sanders was also helped by Clinton’s struggles to explain why she’d used a private email server to handle government business while she was secretary of state, a scandal that has hung over her candidacy for months.

 “Now we take this campaign to this entire country. We are going to fight for every vote in every state,” Clinton told supporters after conceding. She then returned to a constant theme of her campaign, which was that she — unlike Sanders — was ready for the long slog that politics demands. “People have every right to be angry. But they’re also hungry. They’re hungry for solutions.” 
 
 Clinton’s defeat in New Hampshire was so resounding – and so long anticipated – that Clinton’s campaign conceded immediately when the polls closed at 8 p.m. The campaign sent out a statement downplaying the importance of New Hampshire, which Clinton won in 2008. Her campaign promised to fight on through March, including the next-up contests in Nevada and South Carolina. The next states, Clinton’s campaign said, would be more likely to turn out her way. 
 
 [New Hampshire primary live updates:] 
 
 “Whereas the electorates in Iowa and New Hampshire are largely rural/suburban and predominantly white, the March states better reflect the true diversity of the Democratic Party and the nation,” Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook wrote in the statement. Clinton’s campaign has said it expects to do far better among African American and Latino voters than Sanders will. 
 
 Exit polls reported by CNN showed that Sanders had beaten Clinton across a wide variety of demographic groups — including women, who voted for Sanders by a margin of 55 percent to 44 percent. 
 
 Sanders also won decisively among self-identified independents, taking that group by 72 percent. The two candidates evenly split voters who identified themselves as Democrats. Sanders also won all the ideological groups that the polls surveyed: Democratic voters calling themselves “very liberal,” “somewhat liberal,” and “moderate” all preferred him to Clinton. 
 
 Another telling detail: Clinton won handily among the voters who said the quality they wanted most in a candidate was “electability.” Her advantage among that group was 81 percent to 18 percent. But Sanders dominated in the group that said the most important quality was that the candidate “cares,” and in the group that said it was most important that the candidate was honest. In the group that cared about honesty, Sanders won by 92 percent to 6 percent, according to CNN. 
 
 Among Republicans, Trump’s victory — even though it had been predicted for weeks — is still a remarkable turnabout. Last summer, Trump had seemed like an afterthought in a race that seemed likely to be dominated by former Florida governor Jeb Bush, and the massive campaign warchest assembled to back Bush. 
 
 But Trump’s TV experience made him a commanding figure in early debates, where other candidates seemed unsure how to handle a candidate who insulted their looks and told them to shush. And Trump’s blunt message, which promised a massive wall on the southern border and a program to deport 12 million undocumented immigrants, resonated with voters who felt their party had ignored the issue for too long. 
 
 “We are going to do something so good, and so fast, and so strong. And the world is going to respect us again. Believe me,” Trump said to supporters, during a speech that began with Trump thanking his late parents. Trump then reviewed a series of campaign promises, including his plan to build a wall on the southern border. “We’re going to build a wall. It’s going to be built. It’s not even, it’s not even a difficult thing to do.” He also said he would be “the greatest jobs president that God ever created.” 
 
 The crowd chanted “Trump! Trump! Trump!” 
 
 “That’s so beautiful,” Trump said. 
 
 In a moment that captured so much of this campaign, Trump’s speech happened at the same time as Bush’s own speech, and largely kept Bush – projected a year ago as the race’s favorite – off the air. 
 
 For Trump, the victory here in New Hampshire was a vindication of his unusual campaign style, which favored huge rallies and free TV exposure over the kind of data-driven, expensive voter-turnout efforts that mark most modern campaigns. 
 
 In Iowa, Trump used that approach and lost to Cruz and his high-tech “ground game.” But in New Hampshire, it was enough. 
 
 Trump’s approach is likely to be tested further in the upcoming contests in the South, starting with South Carolina’s primary on Feb. 20 and turning a week later to a group of “Super Tuesday” states. 
 
 One of the big New Hampshire surprises was Kasich, a pragmatic Midwesterner whose candidacy has been an afterthought nationally but who steadily built a pitch-perfect campaign for this state that roused mainstream voters with high visibility on the ground and a call to lift up people in the shadows. 
 
 Kasich told supporters Tuesday night that his second place finish was evidence an optimistic message could win. 
 
 “There’s magic in the air with this campaign,” Kasich said. “We never went negative, because we have more good to sell.” 
 
 The Ohio governor called on supporters to join his effort “to re-shine America. To restore the spirit of America. And to leave no one behind.” 
 
 But the race now moves south, where Kasich faces immediate hurdles to prove he is more than a one-state wonder and where Trump has found deep and enthusiastic support for his incendiary nationalistic platform. Cruz is well positioned to contend with Trump for the top spot in those states because of his broad coalition of movement conservatives and evangelicals. 
 
 Republican exit polls reported by CNN showed how dominant Trump’s victory in New Hampshire had been. Trump won among people who said they had been “betrayed by Republican politicians” – but also among those who didn’t feel betrayed. 
 
 Trump won both men and women, won the married and the unmarried, won college graduates and non-graduates, won high earners and low earners, and won both those who called themselves “conservative” and among those who called themselves “moderate/liberal.” 
 
 The few sub-groups that Trump did not win included those who called themselves evangelical or born-again: Cruz won that group with 24 percent. But his victory in that group – a core part of Cruz’s support – came by just a single percentage point. In second place, with 23 percent, was Trump. Kasich won among voters who said they were “somewhat worried” about the economy, though Trump won the group that said they were “very worried.” Trump lost among the voters who believed “electability” was the most important quality in a candidate: they went for Rubio. 
 
 One striking statistic in the poll came from a question that asked voters about what should be done with undocumented immigrants who were already in the U.S. Trump has said he would deport all 12 million of them. It was no surprise, then, that Trump won among the voters who supported mass deportation. 
 
 But he also won among voters who said that deportation was the wrong choice. Among that group of voters – the 66 percent of Republicans who supported offering legal status to undocumented immigrants, the exact opposite of Trump’s plan – 22 percent supported Trump anyway. That was enough to tie Kasich for first place. 
 
 The exit polls reported by CNN showed that 66 percent of Republican primary voters supported another idea that Trump has praised: a temporary ban on Muslim foreigners entering the U.S. In that group, not surprisingly, Trump was the most popular candidate, with 42 percent support. 
 
 For Republicans, the campaign trail in the final push was like a game of political billiards — with attacks flying fast and in all directions, reflecting the jumbled field and the uncertain fates that await so many of the candidates. 
 
 Bush fired at Trump, Cruz, Kasich and Rubio. Christie savaged Rubio. Rubio smacked back. Trump, for his part, slammed Bush and Cruz. 
 
 Tuesday night, Bush told his supporters, “The pundits had it all figured out last Monday night when the Iowa caucuses were complete. They said the race was now a three-person race between two freshmen senators and a reality TV star. And while the reality TV star’s still doing well, it looks like you all have reset the race.” 
 
 Recalling the story of a veteran he met who had been wrongfully declared dead by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Bush said, “Just like he’s not dead, this campaign’s not dead – we’re going on to South Carolina.” 
 
 For the Republicans, the character of the race appeared to change over the weekend after a Saturday debate in which Rubio faltered in the face of stinging barbs from Christie. 
 
 In an uncharacteristically blunt fashion, Rubio on Tuesday night blamed himself for his poor showing in the primary. 
 
 “Our disappointment tonight is not on you -- it’s on me. I did not do well on Saturday night. So listen to this: that will never happen again,” he vowed. 
 
 Late Tuesday, Christie seemed sobered by his defeat – and contemplating an end to his campaign. Before Tuesday’s results were in, Christie had said he planned to campaign in South Carolina, extending his campaign to the next primary state. Now, he said, he would return to New Jersey, and watch for the final results from New Hampshire. 
 
 “That’s going to allow us to make a decision about how we move from here in this race. But there’s no reason to sit in a hotel in South Carolina to hear that,” Christie said. 
 
 While in New Jersey, he said, “We can actually get a change of clothes, which would be a nice thing.” 
 
 If Christie does drop out because of New Hampshire, that would mark the end of a long decline for one of the most talented retail politicians in the race. Christie had once been the front-runner in New Hampshire, way back in 2014, but he was un-done by a scandal from his own administration – in which aides allegedly caused a traffic jam on a major bridge in order to punish a local mayor who hadn’t endorsed Christie’s re-election. 
 
 And he was out-shone by Trump, who stole away the role that Christie had sought to play: the race’s brash straight-talker.

 Exit polls are helping shed some light on the various strands of support among voters in New Hampshire's Republican presidential primary. 
 
 Donald Trump is backed by voters looking for an outsider and those who made up their minds a while ago. 
 
 John Kasich does best with voters looking for a candidate with political experience — along with moderates, better educated voters and those who made their vote decision in the past few days. 
 
 Ted Cruz is supported by many voters who are very conservative and evangelical Christians. 
 
 Marco Rubio does best among voters for whom experience and electability is important. 
 
 Voters who value experience are also inclined to support Jeb Bush.

 Thanks to his New Hampshire win, Donald Trump will take the lead in the race for delegates for the Republican National Convention. 
 
 It won't be much of a lead. 
 
 There are only 23 delegates at stake in New Hampshire's Republican primary, and they are awarded proportionally, based on the statewide vote. 
 
 Trump will win at least nine. The final tally depends on how many candidates get more than 10 percent of the vote, the threshold needed to qualify for delegates. 
 
 Trump started night trailing Ted Cruz by one delegate.

 An outside group that's helping Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio is spending more than $1.5 million on digital and media advertisements in South Carolina and Nevada — the next states on the 2016 election calendar. 
 
 The new expenditures are by Conservative Solutions PAC, a super political action committee that faces no contribution limits. 
 
 All but about $200,000 is for South Carolina. That's according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. 
 
 Conservative Solutions is the second-most-active super PAC in the presidential race so far. Only Right to Rise, which is boosting Republican Jeb Bush, has spent more on television and radio. ||||| Democratic presidential candidate, Sen.

 MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders rode a wave of voter frustration with American politics to commanding victories in Tuesday's New Hampshire primaries, adding crucial credibility to their upstart candidacies. 
 
 Sanders swept majorities of men, women, independents and young people in his win over Hillary Clinton, but faces challenges in the more diverse states that come next on the primary calendar. Trump, appealing to voters seeking a political outsider, could benefit from the persistent lack of clarity among the more mainstream Republicans struggling to challenge him. 
 
 "We are going to do something so good and so fast and so strong and the world is going to respect us again, believe me," Trump said at a victory rally. 
 
 Ohio Gov. John Kasich grabbed second in New Hampshire after pouring nearly all of his campaign resources into the state. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio vied for third along with Ted Cruz, the Iowa caucus winner, ensuring all would press on to the next voting contest in South Carolina. 
 
 Sanders, at his own raucous rally, said his victory sent a message "that will echo from Wall Street to Washington, from Maine to California. And that is that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors and their super PACs." 
 
 The enthusiasm behind Trump, a real estate mogul who has never held political office, and Vermont Sen. Sanders, who says he is a democratic socialist, underscores the public's anger with the current political and economic system. Even if neither candidate ultimately becomes his party's nominee, whoever wins that nomination will have to reckon with the voter frustration they've tapped into. 
 
 Clinton appeared to recognize that reality in her concession speech, echoing Sanders' calls for taking on Wall Street banks and tackling income inequality. But she cast herself as more prepared to make good on her pledges. 
 
 "People have every right to be angry. But they're also hungry, they're hungry for solutions," she said after congratulating Sanders on his win. 
 
 New Hampshire did little to clarify the crowded contest among more mainstream GOP candidates fighting to emerge as a challenger to Trump and Texas Sen. Cruz. Florida Sen. Rubio, former Florida Gov. Bush and Cruz battled for third behind Kasich. 
 
 Throughout the heated primary campaign, Kasich has prided himself on not attacking his rivals. A more moderate Republican from a politically important state, Kasich told supporters Tuesday night that his second-place finish could be an indication that "we're turning the page on a dark part of American politics." 
 
 The day was a blow for Rubio, who had appeared to be breaking away from the second-tier Republican pack after a stronger-than-expected showing in Iowa. But he stumbled in Saturday's debate under intense pressure from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has relentlessly cast the young senator as too inexperienced and too reliant on memorized talking points to become president. 
 
 Rubio conceded that the debate may have hurt him in Tuesday's contest and pledged to supporters that his poor performance "will never happen again." 
 
 Christie, however, didn't benefit from roughing up Rubio. He lagged behind the pack as votes were being tallied and said he planned to return home to New Jersey to "make a decision on our next step forward." 
 
 Bush was pressing on, declaring that New Hampshire voters had "reset the race." 
 
 Republican voters were more negative about their politicians than Democrats, with about half of GOP voters saying they felt betrayed by party officials. Trump carried a majority of those who said they wanted an outsider to win, according to exit polls conducted by Edison Research for The Associated Press and television networks. 
 
 More than half of voters in the Republican primary made up their minds in the past week. However, Trump's support appeared more sustained, with his supporters saying they made up their minds some time ago. 
 
 In a sign of Trump's impact on the race, two-thirds of GOP voters said they supported a temporary ban on non-citizen Muslims entering the U.S., a position the billionaire outlined last year amid rising fears of terrorism emanating from the Middle East. 
 
 Sanders pulled from a broad coalition of New Hampshire voters, gathering a majority of votes from both men and women, independents and voters under 45. Hillary Clinton won the majority of those over 65. 
 
 Clinton's campaign argues she will perform better as the race heads to more racially diverse states, including Nevada and South Carolina. Both New Hampshire and Iowa are overwhelmingly white states that are far less diverse than the nation as a whole. 
 
 As polls closed, her campaign manager Robby Mook blasted out a memo touting Clinton's strength with Hispanics and black voters and arguing that a Democrat cannot win the presidency without support from those constituencies. 
 
 The distinctions between what motivated Sanders and Clinton voters were sharp. The Vermont senator was backed by 9 in 10 voters for whom honesty was important and 8 in 10 who wanted a candidate who "cares about people like me." Clinton, meanwhile, won support from nearly 90 percent of those who considered the "right" experience important in their decision and about 80 percent of those regarding electability as the most important factor.

 The New Hampshire primary is in the books. And the drama was over early as real estate mogul Donald Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders cruised to easy -- and poll-predicted -- victories. The real fight emerged in the battle for second and third place among establishment Republicans desperate to grab a top-tier slot heading into the South Carolina primary. Below, the best and the worst of the night that was. 
 
 Winners 
 
 * Donald Trump: For all of the "I told you so"-ism after Trump's not-so-good Iowa organization failed to make good on his polling lead going into that state's caucuses, the real estate billionaire reasserted his grip on the Republican race with a convincing New Hampshire victory. Say what you will about Trump but he demonstrated real resilience in the face of a setback eight days ago in Iowa. Trump now has a second place in Iowa and a first place in New Hampshire -- something very few people thought could happen even a few months ago. Trump will head into South Carolina in 10 days with real momentum and having proved that he can do more than just draw big crowds to gawk at him. He proved tonight he can win.

 * Bernie Sanders: If I told you six months ago that a 74-year-old socialist would crush the former secretary of state in the first-in-the-nation primary, there is NO way you would have believed me. Despite the best spin of Hillary Clinton's campaign, Sanders's win wasn't simply about the fact that he represents a neighboring state. Howard Dean represented a neighboring state and lost badly to John Kerry in 2004. This is a convincing win for Sanders that shows, for the second time in eight days, his appeal with young voters and the energy behind him. The race moves next to Nevada on Feb. 20, a caucus state where Sanders was already better positioned than most people give him credit for and where he will benefit from the positive coverage from his New Hampshire win. Then, as the race widens out nationally, there is only one real question for Sanders: Does what happened Tuesday night in New Hampshire make him more able to appeal to black and Hispanic voters? If not, he (still) can't win. 
 
 * John Kasich: The Ohio governor put everything on the line in New Hampshire. The gamble worked as he managed to carve out a second place showing, ensuring that he will stay in the race through South Carolina and battle for the mantle of establishment choice within the party. Kasich's lead adviser -- John Weaver -- proved yet again that he knows how to position a candidate to appeal to New Hampshire Republicans and independents. (Weaver was in John McCain's inner circle when the Arizona senator stunned the political world in New Hampshire in 2000.) Kasich's strength in New Hampshire could well be his undoing as the race moves south and westward; his crossover appeal as a non-partisan problem solver will play far less well in, say South Carolina than it did in the Granite State. But, that's a worry for tomorrow for Kasich. At this point, he's got to be happy that he even has a tomorrow to worry about in this race.

 * Michael Bloomberg: The former New York City Mayor stoked the fires of a possible third party bid earlier this week by disparaging the "banal" nature of the current conversation in both parties. The wins in New Hampshire by Trump and Sanders open up the possibility that one or both men could wind up as their parties's nominees, a dream scenario for those -- most notably Bloomberg himself -- who dream of a real chance for the former mayor. I wouldn't fall down dead if later this week "a Bloomberg insider" leaked either polling numbers or some sort of internal memo designed to stoke the fires for the former mayor's independent bid. 
 
 * Young people: For the second straight contested Democratic nomination fight, voters ages 18-29 are not a story in the race but the story in the race. Sanders's massive totals among that age group in Iowa (84 percent) and New Hampshire (85 percent) are absolutely amazing. And Clinton's inability to win even one in four votes of young people will be a giant story in the next few days and weeks. Damn you, millennials. You win again. 
 
 * Richard Witz: The 73-year-old retired janitor from Massachusetts had more votes, as of this writing, than Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Jim Gilmore. Why? Maybe because Witz was sandwiched on the New Hampshire primary ballot between Jeb Bush and Donald Trump. It's not clear whether Witz was in the state to enjoy his triumph; “I don’t know what’s going to happen with the snow,” he told a local Massachusetts paper on Monday. “I would like very much to go up, if I could find a place to park.”

 * Hillary Clinton: Yes, she lost as we expected. But the margin Clinton lost by is eye-opening. By way of historical comparison, Clinton beat Barack Obama in New Hampshire by three points in 2008. John Kerry beat Howard Dean by 12 points in 2004. Al Gore beat Bill Bradley by four points in 2000. Sanders's margin over Clinton is certain to be wider than any of those. Her problems among young voters is real and troubling for a party whose current president built his electoral coalition on his strengths among voters ages 18-29. ("I know I have some work to do -- particularly with young people," Clinton said Tuesday night after the race was called.) In her concession speech, Clinton did everything she could to insist there was no space between her and Sanders on issues like income inequality and campaign finance reform. It remains to be seen whether she will be more effective at selling that idea than she has been in Iowa and New Hampshire. Clinton's greatest strength as a politician is and has always been her resilience and perseverance. She gave a nod to that in her concession speech by insisting the key is not how many times you get knocked down but how many times you get up again. That strength will be severely tested in the coming days as there will be calls for her to make staff changes and for a major overhauling of her message. Will she bend to the pressure? Should she? 
 
 *Chris Christie: The New Jersey governor peaked too soon. Six weeks ago, polls showed him cresting into double digits -- and into the top three -- in New Hampshire. But, unfortunately for Christie, the New Hampshire primary wasn't six weeks ago. Christie's biggest contribution to the race in New Hampshire may have been the body slam he delivered to Marco Rubio in last Saturday's debate in the state. Christie pledged earlier Tuesday that his campaign would continue on in South Carolina regardless of what happened in the Granite State. It's hard to see that happening now. 
 
 Christie: “We will make a decision on our next step forward based on the results that come in here completed in New Hampshire." — Nick Corasaniti (@NYTnickc) February 10, 2016 
 
 * Marco Rubio: Coming off the Florida senator's surprisingly strong third place showing in Iowa, Rubio's people whispered about the possibility of him finishing second in New Hampshire. He didn't come close. While it remains to be seen whether he will finish fourth (ahead of Bush) or fifth (behind Bush), it seems nearly certain he won't get into the top three. That's a missed opportunity for Rubio to consolidate the establishment behind him going into South Carolina. He will now not only face a real fight for the establishment vote from Kasich (and maybe Bush) in South Carolina but will also have to weather questions over the next few days about whether his robotic responses in the final days of the New Hampshire primary were a sign of bigger problems with his candidacy. 
 
 Rubio: "Our disappointment tonight is not on you -- it's on me." (1/2) — Sean Sullivan (@WaPoSean) February 10, 2016 
 
 * Maggie Hassan/Jeanne Shaheen: The sitting governor and the state's Democratic senator were high-profile endorsers and surrogates for Clinton in New Hampshire. Didn't matter. Like, at all. Which provides yet further evidence that endorsements are, almost always, meaningless in the context of a presidential primary process. 
 
 * Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina: So, I hate to be the one to break it to Ben and Carly, but, well, it's all over. 
 
 * Bernie Sanders's victory speech: Why was it so looooooong? Sanders simply read his stump speech. Yes, the assembled crowd went bananas. But, it felt like a missed opportunity for Sanders to reach out to the folks who are outside of Sanders's ardent base of support. The moment felt like it required something more than Sanders delivered.
– Donald Trump won the first electoral victory of his life Tuesday night and he promised supporters there would be many more to come. "We are going to start winning again and we are going to win so much," he said at his victory party in New Hampshire, per Politico. "You are going to be so happy." Trump—who cruised to victory with around 34% of the vote—went on to repeat campaign promises to build a border wall, "make America great again," and be the "greatest jobs president that God ever created." He also slammed fellow New Hampshire winner Bernie Sanders, accusing him of wanting "to give away our country." Here's what some of the other candidates had to say: Marco Rubio finally admitted that his debate performance on Saturday was a disaster, the Washington Post reports. "Our disappointment tonight is not on you—it's on me," Rubio, who finished in fifth, told supporters. "I did not do well on Saturday night, so listen to this: That will never happen again." During his victory speech, Bernie Sanders praised the "yuge" voter turnout and said that what happened in New Hampshire "in terms of the enthusiastic and aroused electorate" will happen all over America, reports the Hill. "The government of our great country belongs to all the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors and their super PACS," he said. In a fiery concession speech, Hillary Clinton vowed to "take this campaign to the entire country" and "fight for every vote in every state," reports Politico. "It's not whether you get knocked down that matters, it's whether you get back up," she said. Ted Cruz, claiming he was "effectively tied for third" in the New Hampshire race, congratulated Trump and John Kasich and thanked New Hampshire, telling supporters: "Your victory tonight has left the Washington cartel utterly terrified." After his second-place finish, Kasich told supporters that there was "magic in the air" and the "light overcame the darkness of negative campaigning," per the Boston Globe. "In this campaign, I've become convinced even more about what it takes to win a political campaign and what it takes for somebody to be a leader," he said. "It's not just what’s up here in the head, it's also what's deep in here in the heart."
