Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump Ride the Populist Wave
Let’s start with the qualifiers. New Hampshire is a small state tucked away in the northeast corner of the country, with a population that is, in many ways, unrepresentative of the United States as a whole. Compared to the rest of the country, it is whiter, quirkier, and more willing to turn its back on establishment candidates of both parties. Since 1988, no Democrat or Republican who has won a New Hampshire primary has gone on to be President.
