Well done Donald.
And a thumping for Hillary, what an excellent result.
US election 2016: Trump and Sanders win New Hampshire
Now stands back for the bile from some.

The circus that is the American Election Race often throws up 'shocks' like this - but they matter little in the final analysis.
I reiterate the statement of the gentleman (forget his name) who has corrected called all fifty state results in the last election, and forty-nine the time before that.
His interesting statistic is that the American people have never voted for a President who doesn't have either political or military experience - or both.
Mr Trump, of course, has neither.
We shall see ...

If the New Hampshire Primary is an indicator of the future Presidential election result, then I don't think you should be so pleased.
2012 they chose Mitt Romney - thrashed in the Presidential election
2008 they chose John McCain - ditto.
The winner of the 2008 Democratic nomination did not go on to be the Presidential candidate that year. Obama was second in New Hampshire.
In short, this Primary isn't normally an indication of how the election will pan out, so it is a mistake to take any conclusions from it.

It does tend to show legitimacy of candidates though Gromit?
When many would expect Trump to be laughed away when it came to casting a vote, he gained a 2nd and 1st position.
As these are the early primaries they only indicate who has momentum, and Trump seems to be displaying early momentum. That may drop away in a couple of state's time, but so will some of the competitors.
I don't know what that means at the other end - but it could mean a 2nd place Trump threatens to go independent and scares the party bosses into selecting him. He can certainly control the media to his favour....
Vice President Trump also seems like a possibility. Probably the safest place for him!
You're right though, nothing's been called yet.

No-one, of any political persuasion, should be keen to see Trump actually making it to the presidency (or even the Republican nomination). He is just bluster and bile personified, and lacks any real substance at all. Not to mention his inherent divisiveness.
Winning an early state was perhaps inevitable given his momentum, and the divided opposition he faces. Think is that he's probably already hit the threshold of support he can expect, so if he were only to face one major opponent rather than five or six then he'd stand far less of a chance of winning. Kasich, Bush, Rubio and Christie are splitting the "sensible" (relatively) vote of the Republican party. If any two or three of them drop out, then the remaining candidate will probably go on to win.
Congratulations of a sort are certainly due to Donald, though -- there hasn't been such a successful outsider campaign in a long time, if ever.
