Bernie Sanders has been declared the winner of the New Hampshire primary by numerous news outlets.
It isn’t a surprise that Sen. Sanders won New Hampshire. Sanders led 40 straight New Hampshire polls going back to early January. Once the Democratic race swung away from Hillary Clinton in the Granite State, Sanders dominated all of the polls.
A moral victory for Hillary Clinton will be if she only loses by single digits. The Clinton campaign has been bracing for the loss for weeks. With only 8% of the vote in, Sanders was declared the winner.

This is the victory that everyone expected for Bernie Sanders, and already, the mainstream media is trying to revive the bogus argument that Trump and Sanders are two shades of the same candidate. The outcome of New Hampshire was never in doubt, but beyond the neighboring state factor, a blowout has to be troubling to some in the Clinton camp.
The battle between Clinton and Sanders has turned into an ideological battle for the hearts of the Democratic Party. Clinton argued for the path of incremental progress while Sanders is urging a political revolution. In New Hampshire, the message of political revolution won easily over conventional political process.
