NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY
On February Ninth, the New Hampshire Primary took place. All though Sen. Cruz came out on top in Iowa, and Clinton came out barely in the lead also in Iowa, the story was quite different here. Both the front runners who won in Iowa didn't in New Hampshire.
The winner on the Republican side was Donald Trump by a margin of almost twenty points over John Kasich. This state blew Sen. Cruz out of the water and with everybody trying to recover the delegates were split up the following ways: Trump 10, Kasich 4, Cruz 3, Bush 3, Rubio 3. Candidates Carly Fiorina, Jim Gilmore, Chris Christie, and Rand Paul dropped out the race immediately following the results or the following day.
With only two candidates on the Democratic side Bernie Sanders beat Hilary Clinton by 22.4 points with a huge 60.4 percentile in New Hampshire. Obviously Sanders won the state and the most delegates: Sanders 15, Clinton 9. A six delegate lead might not seem like a lot, but in a neck to neck race for the Democratic general election coming up quickly, only a couple of delegates could make a big difference.
This relates to AP Government and Politics because the Presidential race is a very hot topic in class for obvious reasons. Also the curriculum we are learning has to do a lot with how the political parties operates in and during election years.
