MANCHESTER, N.H. (Feb. 9, 2016) \u2014 Donald J. Trump and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont harnessed working-class fury on Tuesday to surge to commanding victories in a New Hampshire primary that drew a huge turnout across the state.<\/p>\n
The success by two outsider candidates dealt a remarkable rebuke to the political establishment, and all but guaranteed protracted, bruising races for each party\u2019s presidential nomination.<\/p>\n
Highlights of this article:<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether we have sent a message that will echo from Wall Street to Washington, from Maine to California,\u201d Mr. Sanders said. \u201cAnd 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 \u2018super PACs.\u2019 \u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“While Mr. Sanders led New Hampshire polls for the last month, and Mr. Trump was ahead here since July, the wave of support for both men was nonetheless stunning to leaders of both parties who believed that in the end, voters would embrace more experienced candidates like Mrs. Clinton or one of the Republican governors in the race. Yet the two men won significant support from voters who felt betrayed by their parties and were dissatisfied or angry with the federal government.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Clinton advisers gritted their teeth Tuesday night as they dissected exit polls and other data to try to fathom the depth of Mrs. Clinton\u2019s political vulnerabilities. One troubling sign: Mr. Sanders was the choice, nearly unanimously, among voters who said it was most important to have a candidate who is \u201chonest and trustworthy.\u201dSeveral advisers to Mrs. Clinton said they were especially concerned about her shakier-than-expected support among women \u2014 the group that provided her margin for victory in the 2008 New Hampshire primary. The Clinton strategy depends on her beating Mr. Sanders among women and attracting large numbers of minority voters, like Hispanics in Nevada and African-Americans in South Carolina. Those states hold the next Democratic contests, later this month.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
