How did John Kasich go from 1.9% to 15.8% of the votes? (Zhi yuan) John Kasich went from 1.9% in Iowa to 15.8% of votes in New Hampshire because he didn’t attend Iowa as much as he did for New Hampshire. According to USA Today, “While other candidates have swarmed Iowa this month, Kasich has appeared just twice: Jan. 4 in West Des Moines and Jan. 10 in Council Bluffs. “I wish I had more time for Iowa,” Kasich said in an interview Wednesday on his campaign bus in New Hampshire. “When we go, we get such good response, so it’s tempting to keep going back. It’s time management. It’s nothing against the folks in Iowa.” He had spent most of his time in NH because he had lost in Iowa badly and wanted to compete against Marco Rubio, which he made second place this time.
Why did Ted Cruz go from 27.6% to 11.7% of the votes? (Daren) Ted Cruz went from winning the Iowa caucus with 27.6% of the votes to getting in third place with 11.7% of the votes in New Hampshire. One reason that the percentage of votes in his favor went down was because he did not spend much of his time trying to win the state over.

Hillary Clinton might be disliked due to her goals as the first female president. Also, she is supported by non-white female like how she was in Iowa. Young female liked Bernie Sanders more than Hillary Clinton. According to USA Today, “But New Hampshire is New Hampshire. It's not Iowa, where Clinton led among women by 11 points. And it's not South Carolina and Nevada, upcoming early states where fewer of those women will be white.” It’s all about race, Clinton was more likely to be supported by non-white rather than white. Young women decided to trust more on Bernie rather than Hillary.
Who will win the primary in South Carolina and Nevada in the Democratic and Republican side?
Even though people think it’s not “normal” for a female to be president anything is possible. Clinton went to both Wellesley and Yale colleges. When she Yale, she studied to be a lawyer, which she would later become. She eventually found her way to marry. Clinton married William “Bill” Clinton in 1975, and had a child Chelsea. The former President Bill would later become president and that led her to becoming the first lady. As you can see she had to balance a lot in her life so far.
The Republican Primary was a race between Vice President George Bush and Senator Bob Dole because President Reagan had reached his term limit and could not run again. Bush was Reagan's Vice President, so he started the race as the Republican front-runner. Bush's campaign was startled after its loss to Dole in the Iowa Caucus. Bush stepped up the campaigning, uttering his famous line, "Read my lips, no new taxes." Dole soon ran out of steam when Vice President Bush won every state in the Super Tuesday Primaries. Bush's strong victories are attributed to his ability to gain the support of the religious fundamentalists, mainly in the South. Bush's ability to establish a strong Southern base helped him in both the primary and general elections.
In the Reading “Cowboy Conservatism” Cunningham spoke on how the Democratic Party left Texas because of the change in what it stood for. The Democratic Party went from being very conservative to becoming liberal. In order for a party to win you have to appeal to the people who will be voting for your party, therefore depending on the views a certain state has can have a huge effect on the outcome. The Republican Party in the 20th century is the major political party of Texas but as we read and discussed in class, that can very well change this election. There are more minority’s in Texas than there has ever been in the past years. The Hispanic population is continuously growing and it was shown that and good amount of them voted for the Democratic Party. If Republican are not able to appeal to the Minority voters in Texas, it will be the end of the Republican Party as a whole. The Republican Party needs to make sure that they know what they stand for and what they will offer to Americans especially
Rick follow in his Father's Footsteps as a democrat. In 1984 Rick took a chance. He ran for the Texas House of Representatives. Perry won.

As mentioned before, Trump and Clinton choice two different paths, the establishment vs the outsider. As the polls showed leading up to election day, Clinton was the projected winner, yet Trump still ended up winning (Polls Florida Presidential Race, RealClearPolitics). On the flipside, the Senate race showed Rubio winning, when in fact he did, at a remarkably close percentage that was predicted by most polls. As far as Florida in the Presidential race, Trump’s victory seems to have come down to the amount of time spent in the state as well as the issues he choice to champion, which helped bring out the working class. For Rubio, it was his promise to work with either winner and his perceived dedication to the state, despite the attacks the Democrats sent forth when the Senator missed making votes within the Senate as he pursued his Presidential
Opportunities: The fact that Texas has consistently gone Republican gave Ted Cruz a fairly high advantage on the polls.
George Bush and Ronald Reagan went head to head for the Republican spot. It certainly paid off for Bush in January 1980 when he won the Iowa Republican straw poll. He only defeated Reagan by a small margin. It was looking as if Bush might actually beat Reagan to the nomination. The debate between Bush and Reagan was very upsetting yet disturbing. Bush refused to participate, which led to a problem on the stage. The problem on the stage was that As Reagan attempted to explain his decision, the editor of Nashua Telegraph ordered the sound man to mute Reagan's microphone. With Reagan being filled with rage he responds "I am paying for this microphone, Mr. Green."(R.V. ,169) After that unfair debate Reagan swept the South with their votes, and although he lost five more primaries to Bush, including one where he came in third behind John Anderson, the former governor had a lock on the nomination very early in the season. Reagan would always be grateful to the people of Iowa for giving him " the kick in the pants" he needed.(USPE1980, 4)
Ted Cruz is a fairly strong contender for the Republican nomination at the moment and has some definite strengths. His first strength is his fervent support of and commitment to upholding the Constitution, especially the First and Second Amendment. He worked as a lawyer prior to becoming a senator and is well versed in constitutional law. Another strength is his strong conservative ideals, which makes him popular among the Tea Party and evangelical voters, especially when it comes to issues such as abortion, marriage equality, gun rights, immigration and more. In addition, he has the ability to raise a lot of money. In the second quarter of 2015 alone, he had raised over $10 million, with no signs of slowing down. He has a strong campaign team
...irth abortion and opposes Roe v. Wade. He voted with his party 81 percent of the time last year. John McCain's supporters hope the New Hampshire primary will give him enough credibility with independent voters and fellow Republicans who do not support the "coronation of George" in 2000 to help make up for his inability to match his opponent's fund-raising skill.
This man was born in Miami, Florida in 1971 and son of Cuban immigrants. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida and went on to earn his law degree from the University of Miami. That man is Marco Rubio. To me Marco Rubio isn’t just a politician, he’s an inspiration to many Hispanic immigrants who want to be successful in the United States.
Did someone say Vice President Al Gore won Florida? How about NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, FOX, and any body else. Now look what's happening.
And then there is the largest factor to remember, Sarah Palin. I personally believe she was the proverbial “ball and chain” of John McCain as do many liberals who have assessed her negative
...th 2,028,960 votes compared to Ted Celeste's 1,140,534. These results did come in congruence with my prediction but I truthfully thought that Mike DeWine would win by more than a million votes, based on the fact the Ted Celeste just did not have any money for a great campaign, but I did underestimated his democratic connections and really the only reason he got that many votes was because Ohio is overwhelmingly democratic and also his family's record. Overall looking back at both campaigns they were both put together pretty well and this looked as though it would be a great election but after Ted Celeste's fiances fell apart Mike DeWine went into cruise control already having one once before and now again I predict that unless the democrats bring forth a formidable candidate Mike DeWine will be representing the state of Ohio in the Senate for many years to come.
