Republican New Hampshire primary results thread (polls close @7pm and 8pm ET)

[DINGO Joe]

Remember, Clinton won the Dem nomination in '92 while losing in both Iowa and New Hampshire.  He got 2nd in NH.

So you have to go back to 1992 to "prove" that someone can be the nominee without winning IA or NH... And it was only because no candidate took IA seriously. LoL.

Small sample size is small.

How many GOP victory speeches? Trump because he actually won. Kasich for surprise second and being top of Establishment bracket. Bush for coming back from dead to 3rd. Cruz for again beating Rubio, who was seen his main future opponent.   


And maybe Rubio will declare victory like he did in IA and channel Joe Lieberman, claiming a "three way tie for third place". 

And then Christie can claim victory for destroying Rubio.

Serious question:

Could the surge in turnout for GOP races and dip in Democratic ones be the first signs of a Republican landslide nine months from now?

Its possible, if the GOP can harness that energy positively rather than being torn apart by it.

I wouldn't call the energy on the republican side "positive"
