Bernie Sanders is the feast of the frontrunners in the race for the democratic Challenger of Republican presidents, Donald Trump , fresh from a victory This Week in the second state-by-state contest. His support of ardent, but his party, let alone the Country , is ready for candidate to embrace such an unusual?

Bernie Sanders , like his presidential campaign, a revolution, but these days it feels more like a touring rock concert.

Vermont senator, may seem like an unlikely front-man for bands such as Vampire Weekend and The Strokes , but both of them have served as his warm-up acts to play at the recent election events.

But the thousands of fans in Packed arenas, they reserve their loudest cheers for the scruffy hair, the 78-year-old candidate with a clipped Brooklyn accent.

After nearly a year marathon-rallies, meetings, debates and floor-laying of the Sanders campaign is now in a sprint, in the vicinity of non-stop activity, it can carry through dozens of States across the Country - an impressive test of endurance for the man who was a few months ago in the hospital for a Heart Attack .

"Bernie Sanders is the only candidate That didn't believe me the courage to be, That we are only asking for bold, Radical Change , but That it's actually very accessible," said Aletha Shapiro, who traveled to New Hampshire from Long Island , New York , the Sanders campaign.

"If People stick together, we can. in fact, the power back into the hands of the People "

The result of all these efforts, a split decision in Iowa, the votes, as a former South Bend , Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg , most of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention claimed even though Sanders won a couple of thousand more.

In New Hampshire , Sanders finished just ahead of Buttigieg again, with the two at The State delegate.

This is not to stop Sanders from claiming victory, both in Iowa and New Hampshire on Tuesday night, however, and with a view to a showdown with Trump in November.

"The reason why we won, who won tonight in New Hampshire , we have, last week in Iowa, is through the hard work of so many volunteers," he said. "Let me tonight to say That this victory is the beginning of the end for Donald Trump . "

The Crowd That Packed into a college, high school, responded with loud applause, as if the volume of your applause could, your beloved candidate to more victories in the coming days.

"It was huge," said Scott Sandvik, a music teacher from Boston. "I really think it was a release of tension after a nail-biter of an election. "

If the Sanders "revolution" is not going to work - an outsider campaign played out so much against the Democratic Party establishment, as the President -in-office - New Hampshire could be very well seen as where it all began.

But The Campaign still has a long way to go.

Another shot at the prize in four years, Sanders also followed a tight result in Iowa with a victory in New Hampshire . That competition is actually more crucial - a 20-point victory over Hillary Clinton was considered the prohibitive favorite in the race.

Sanders' 2016 New Hampshire triumph, however, was a springboard into an empty pool.

He followed his win in the predominantly white New England state with a narrow loss in The State of Nevada and a defeat in South Carolina , where the democratic vote of the population is majority black. There were a few bright spots That victories in Michigan and Wisconsin - Clinton spent the next few months, pulling away from Sanders in the nomination race.

Now Sanders is back, in the hope history is repeating itself. In front of a crowded field, he seems to be in a much better position, as the nomination battle will be a state-by-state slog on The Field of battle, in the width of The Nation .

There is no Clinton is waiting for machine to fight against Sanders's uprising This Time around. Instead, the Vermont senator heads from New Hampshire , along with a motley mix of candidates, all scrambling for a foothold.

Joe Biden , the apparent front-runner through much of 2019, is severely wounded by poor performances in The First two contests. Elizabeth Warren , The Other candidate has appealing to the liberal wing of the Democratic Party , finished behind Sanders twice now and shows no signs of gaining ground.

meanwhile, the permanent presence of Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar to the moderate party in The Middle of the road is ensured and the establishment Democrats continue to be divided.

Buttigieg money, but a thin resume, and doubts as to his vocation has the more diverse rank-and-file of the Democratic Party . Klobuchar is Counting On the media's coverage of their late surge in New Hampshire to Make Up for depleted campaign coffers, and a virtually non-existent national organization.

Who is Bernie Sanders ?

Meanwhile, Sanders has stalled in the national polls as Biden. He has a veteran's campaign, the structure, basically, since the year 2015, and a donor and volunteer network across The Nation .

His $25m (£19m) fundraising haul in January alone will ensure he has More Than enough resources to compete in every state on the crowded March primary calendar.

He was officially or unofficially supported by figures from the Labour MP Diane Abbott on YouTube star Joe Rogan . On Friday, he picked up another endorsement from the mayor of New York and former 2020 candidate Bill de Blasio.

When Bernie Sanders is the democratic frontrunner at this point, the word has little meaning. He is far from a lock for the nomination, but his path to the clearest of any of his competitors seems.

On Tuesday night, Sanders essentially much said so.

"The reason why I believe That we will win because we have an unprecedented grass-roots movement from coast-to-coast by millions of People ," he said. "The reason That we are going to win, is That we have together an unprecedented multi-generational, multi-racial movement. "

the story is certainly on Sanders' side. Putting the Iowa-popular-vote-means result in his column to win the Vermont senator joins Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004, both possible candidates as the only non-established there, and New Hampshire . In fact, none of the candidates has finished outside The Top two in New Hampshire and gone on to the nomination.

"I think That the People will unite in the United States , in order to support his message, the true hard Working People in This Country ," said Tomas Amadeo of Hooksett, New Hampshire , echo the optimism of many in the New Hampshire Sanders-rally.

"He can resonate with People of all age groups. "

The current disposition of the Sanders campaign has to hope his followers to be The Best , but a large part of the Democratic establishment, and the moderates in The Party fear the worst.

Incoming fire last Friday, in the spinning-room in front of the Democratic candidates debate in Manchester, senior, Sanders ' campaign consultant Jeff Weaver -clear eyes, was about to fight back what's in store for his candidate, as a democratic institution, the views of Sanders, as an Intrusive and disruptive outsider is preparing to look.

"There's always a target on his back," he said to Sanders. "You will not stop until you are beaten. Well, we are ready for you. "

In Iowa, Sanders was the subject of negative TV ads from The Left and The Right side. The conservative Club for growth aired a spot, the Vermont senator to be painted as extremists and said That his health was suspect after his Heart Attack last fall.

< p > pro-Israel Democratic group ran a commercial in Iowa, voters say That Sanders could not beat trump.

"It's no secret That our campaign is That the political establishment and the big-money interests, which Sanders said is now negative ads against us, running in Iowa," in response. "The billionaire class, is nervous, and you should. "

There is reason To Believe That Sanders' political Jiu-Jitsu could be a strategy to be effective.

In the year 2016, when the Republican establishment finally acknowledged the danger That Donald Trump made candidacy, to speak to his shoots - including the 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney began. Their attacks only Trump made it stronger, however, as he has painted them as the "swamp" last-gasp effort to stop him.

"The establishment has never Sanders taken seriously, and now That you need to go to attack him," said Caleb gates, a Sanders supporter from Cedar Rapids , Iowa, which Sanders in a volunteer organization, the event, The Day before the Iowa Caucasus.

"But I think That is just. his attractiveness for many People , especially those who are not politically active "

In New Hampshire , Biden and Buttigieg hit on Sanders, the direct warning That he was too extreme for The Party , The Candidate and his ideological views were too rigid.

can all the head out of The Window , in short.

Sanders-followers were still dull.
