Trump and Sanders Triumph

Well Trump continues to show that he is the lead man in this race. Trump won a staggering 38% of the votes winning 10 delegates, Trump beat out 2nd place finisher John Kasich, and in third place Ted Cruz. Trump was, as always gracious with victory claiming that he is going to take South Carolina, and at this point he mostly likely is. Bernie Sanders beat out Hillary (As expected) to win 15 delegates, Bernie got 60% of the vote to just 38% to Hillary. Somehow Martin O'Malley (who dropped left the race) got 0.3%.

Bernie Sanders continues to rack up donation from his loyal donors. In fact Bernie received $7,000,000 24 hours after the polls closed in New Hampshire. The average amount of money donated to Bernie was $27 per person, a stupid amount compared to other candidates. Donald Trump however funds his entire campaign with his own money. Hillary Clinton is pulling out all the stops, even accusing the Sanders campaign of attacking Hillary. At this point the Clintons know that they are in trouble and they will now do whatever it takes to take down Bernie. Bernie knows at this point that he is a serious contender for president, I expect for him to continue to pressure Hillary over time.
