With the Associated Press declaring victories for Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump the very minute the polls closed, Sanders wasted no time in thanking New Hampshire for his victory:
When we stand together, we win. Thank you, New Hampshire! pic.twitter.com/dPV9qISkHO

Surprisingly, Fox News’ favorite pollster noted that:
92% of Democrat voters who value honesty/trustworthiness in their candidate voted for Bernie Sanders tonight.#NHPrimary

Not everyone was excited about the win, though:
For those who fear Hillary’s inevitability, however, there’s some sobering information out there:
Every election since 1952, at least one #NHprimary winner went on to win his/her party's presidential nomination https://t.co/iOVLcl8unQ

Trump has yet to comment, but that’s no doubt coming shortly. Many on Twitter are having fun at Marco Rubio’s expense:
Will Marco Rubio make another 'victory' speech if he comes 5th tonight? #NHPrimary #RobotRumbled

Some see the results as a repudiation of the state’s motto:
Given the choice of "live free or die," they went with "die." #NHPrimary https://t.co/2tkIlAcY1o

Trump projected #NHPrimary winner! Congrats NH'rs! U've chosen an authoritarian overt bigot as the GOP nominee for Pres. U must be so proud!

The media, of course, is eating its own tail:
"It's pretty astonishing," @DanaBashCNN says. Trump has "never been a politician before. Ever. And he just won the #NHPrimary."
