Sanders’ Lucky Break

Bernie Sanders’ winning in New Hampshire oscillated Clinton’s victory in Iowa. Sanders won 61% that was a first major accomplishment, but it is not a fait accompli for him, in reality. There are many reasons of Sanders’ winning in New Hampshire.
Vermont senator, Bernie Sanders, has tied up a good relationship with his neighbor state New Hampshire that outlined its support for Sanders.
Sanders’ “socialism” agenda supported by many youngsters, who emerged to vote for Sanders but do not hold long-term affiliation with democratic.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign also faced a backlash when former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright remarked, “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other,” in support of Clinton. Gloria Steinem, Feminist leader, also brought up controversy for Clinton when she suggested that younger women were supporting Sanders just so they could meet boys.

As a secretary of States, Clinton is more cultivated over foreign policy and national security than Sanders and that makes him disinclined, which affirmed Clinton’s strong position.

“We continue to believe Clinton would be one of the better candidates for financial firms,” wrote Jaret Seiberg of Guggenheim Partners in a note to clients analyzing her plan.

It is impossible to win without strong support of African American and minority groups. Clinton has this support, Sanders doesn’t.

Despite, Clinton’s loss in New Hampshire, many voters affirmed her leadership. “We are supporting Sanders, but we vote to Hillary Clinton,” a voter confirmed their vote for Hillary Clinton on NPR.
