John Kasich's Projected 2nd Place Finish in NH ExplainedABC NEWS ANALYSIS DESK: ABC News is projecting that Ohio Gov. John Kasich will finish second in the New Hampshire Republican primary Tuesday night and he did so as a kind of anti-Donald Trump candidate, earning his best support among some of Trump’s weakest groups.Here’s a look at a few factors that earned him a projected second-place finish in the Granite State, according to vote analysis and exit poll results:
Some 45 percent of New Hampshire GOP voters were looking for experience rather than a political outsider –- and Kasich got 28 percent in this group, followed by Bush and Rubio, with 20 and 18 percent, respectively. (Trump did very well “outsider” voters).
A third of Republican voters said they oppose Trump’s call to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States; Kasich won this group, with 27 percent support.
Kasich virtually tied Trump among moderates and liberals -– 31 percent for Trump, 29 percent for Kasich. But support for Kasich plummeted among conservatives, to 11 percent, and they accounted for seven in 10 voters. MORE

Trump Thanks His Parents in Victory Speech
ABC's JOHN SANTUCCI: Trump has hardly mentioned his parents or siblings on the trail – but in accepting his win tonight in NH, Donald Trump looked up and said his parents are looking down on him and “they’re happy”. He thanked his siblings, naming each of them. “A fantastic guy…he’s up there looking down!” Trump said of his late brother Fred. He also thanked his wife and children.
Trump congratulated the other candidates…”We have a number of talented people….a number of them called….now that I got that over with!”, Trump said to laughter. He then turned into his usual stump speech, the wall, taking out China, trade deals, Obamacare, and hitting the signature issue for New Hampshire -- heroine.
“We are going to win in South Carolina,” he said departing the stage.
The Donald campaigns tomorrow night in South Carolina.

CORRECTION: Chris Christie will not be dropping out. He's is going home to see final results to come in and says there's no need to go to South Carolina to watch those results come in.
He said he came to New Hampshire with a message and appealed to a lot of people but that it wasn’t enough.
He congratulated Trump on his victory and said the people of New Hampshire spoke clearly.

JUST IN: With 69 percent of precincts reporting, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, and Marco Rubio have maintained a tight three-way race for third in the New Hampshire Republican primary. Each candidate is separated by less than a percentage point. Therefore ABC News is not projecting a winner for third, fourth, and fifth place.

Bush Says His 'Campaign is Not Dead,' NH Has 'Reset the Race'ABC's CANDACE SMITH: As Jeb Bush dukes it out for third place with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, he came out, triumphant and defiant, speaking to a group of supporters at Manchester Community College.
This was not a man who believes his campaign is ending.
"Here’s the deal. I will be a president that fixes these things to honor our veterans and we, just like him, is not dead, Bush said. "This campaign is not dead. We’re going on to South Carolina."
He hit back on the pundits who said he had no chance.
"The pundits had it all figured out last Monday night when the IA caucuses were complete they said that the race was a three person race between two freshmen senators and a reality TV star. While the reality TV star is still doing well, it looks like you all have reset the race and for that, I am really grateful."

Ted Cruz Paints Results as Victory, Jabs at Donald Trump
ABC's JESSICA HOPPER: Sen. Ted Cruz took the stage in Hollis, New Hampshire to chants of “Ted!” Acknowledging the results were still coming in, Cruz said he was “effectively tied for third” and painted the results as historical and a victory.
“That is the result that all of us were told was impossible,” said Cruz of his standing in New Hampshire. “Together we have done what the media and pundits said could not be done and what the Washington establishment desperately hoped could not be done."
His public congratulations of Trump led to the crowd to shout boos.
“I want to congratulate Donald Trump on an impressive win tonight. And John Kasich had a good night tonight, but the real winner is the conservative grassroots who propelled us to an outright victory in Iowa and to a far stronger result in New Hampshire than anyone predicted,” Cruz said.
After saying a nice thing about Trump, he subtly jabbed at him throughout his speech.
“Do we want a campaign conservative, someone who talks a good game but doesn’t walk the walk or do we want a consistent conservative?” Cruz said. As Cruz mingled with supporters, Cruz told ABC News how he felt.
He said, "Fantastic. A great evening. And we will see you later tonight or early tomorrow morning in the great state of South Carolina.” -
