In his victory speech, Trump promised, "I am going to be the greatest jobs president that God ever created," and that he will "knock the hell out of ISIS."https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/10/us/politics/new-hampshire-primary.html Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders Win in New Hampshire Primary Healy Patrick 2016-02-09 Martin Jonathan The New York Times 0362-4331 2016-10-02 Trump's tough-on-terror message resonated in the state, where 65% of Republican voters supported his proposed Muslim ban.
