Both the Democratic and the Republican anti-establishment candidates won the New Hampshire primary. \u00a0According to the counts at this moment (which are likely to change, but this gives you an idea), Bernie Sanders has 57% of the vote, to Hillary Clinton\u2019s 40%.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump has 34%. \u00a0The second place winner, as of now, may be a surprise: \u00a0John Kasich with 16%. \u00a0Bush has 12%, Iowa winner Cruz has 11.5%, and mainstream-darling-before-his-disastrous-debate-performance Rubio has 10%.<\/p>\n

Again, it really could be the socialist Sanders vs. the capitalist Trump. \u00a0The Clinton campaign is in a state of crisis. \u00a0The Republican alternative to Trump is no clearer.<\/p>\n

Have we overlooked Kasich, who may be the most qualified and experienced candidate, with his long career as lawmaker and governor, his common-sense moderation, and his kind, avuncular manner?<\/p>\n

From\u00a0Trump, Sanders projected to win New Hampshire primary \u2013 The Washington Post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Sen. Bernie Sanders and billionaire Donald Trump have been projected as the winners of the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries in New Hampshire \u2013 a remarkable victory for two outsiders who tapped into voter anger at the two parties\u2019 establishments, each promising massive government actions to provide working people with an economic boost.<\/p>\n

In very early returns, the three Republicans running behind Trump were Ohio Gov. John Kasich, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, and Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas), who won the Iowa caucuses last week. 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.<\/p>\n

But if Christie\u2019s attack had hurt Rubio, it didn\u2019t seem to have helped Christie himself: Christie was running behind Rubio in the early returns, last among the four \u201cestablishment\u201d candidates who\u2019d each been trying to consolidate the party\u2019s leaders for a challenge to Trump.<\/p>\n

In the Democratic race, Sanders was projected as the winner over former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, who had been seen as her party\u2019s prohibitive favorite a year ago.<\/p>\n

Sanders was a self-identified \u201cdemocratic socialist,\u201d 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 \u201cpolitical revolution\u201d that would provide universal, government-run health insurance and free public-college tuition.<\/p>\n

Sanders was also helped by Clinton\u2019s struggles to explain why she\u2019d 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.<\/p>\n

Clinton\u2019s defeat in New Hampshire was so resounding \u2013 and so long in coming \u2013 that Clinton\u2019s 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\u2019s campaign said, would be more likely to turn out her way.<\/p>\n
