NEW HAMPSHIRE RECAP

Can you feel the Bern? About last night in the NH. On the Democratic side, Hillary felt the Bern but unlike Olivia from The Bachelor who thought she had this in the bag, her poll numbers were not hot to begin with. Bernie Sanders won with 59.97% to Hillary’s 38.4%, daaaaang! On the Republican side, vulgar word or not, Donald Trump came out on top but the #2 winner, Ohio Governor John Kasich was a surprise with 15.89% of votes. Robo speaker Marco Rubio finished fifth. Ted Cruz coming in third got 11.55% and Jeb! received 11.10%. Ben Carson finished last. It’s off to South Carolina now. Kasich with the zinger said “Bernie talked so long I thought he was going to hit his 77th birthday before he got off the stage.”
