The New Hampshire primary race has been called for Donald Trump. It was a decisive victory even though thousands of Democrats turned out to vote for Nikki Haley.
Trump spoke to his supporters after the race was called and fired several shots at Nikki Haley for her pledge to stay in the race.
He correctly noted that he is leading on the ballot in her home state of South Carolina.

Trump cries for Haley after her victory in New Hampshire
Former President Trump on Tuesday criticized Nikki Haley after he defeated her in the New Hampshire primary, putting pressure on his only major rival in the GOP nominating contest to suspend her campaign.
“I have to tell you it was very interesting because I said ‘what a great victory’, but then someone ran onto the stage wearing nice clothes when it was seven o’clock, but now I just went up and it was 14 o’clock.” Trump said, mocking Haley for making remarks to her supporters after she was voted out in the race.
“Let's not let someone get a victory when she had a very bad night. She had a very bad night,” Trump said.
He later added that he could not allow his former ambassador to the United Nations to “get away with it.”
“But I felt like I had to do this, because I find in life you can't let people get away with bullshit,” he said. “You can't. And when I saw her in the fancy dress… I said, 'What are you doing? We won. And I did the same thing last week.'”
