Clinton Effectively Giving Up in New Hampshire

February 6, 2016 · 9:04 am ET · 161 Comments

“Hillary Clinton is way behind in New Hampshire, and she is running there like a candidate prepared to cede the first-in-the-nation primary,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

“As polls show Sen. Bernie Sanders continuing to hold a sizable lead here, Clinton strategists are positioning their campaign to weather a loss here, shifting their focus to holding Latino voters in Nevada, which votes Feb. 20, and then win in South Carolina, with its large black population, the following week.”
