Donald Trump's projected victory in New Hampshire will "wipe away the embarrassment he suffered, the black eye so to speak, when he lost in Iowa," Newsmax chief political correspondent John Gizzi told
Newsmax TV Tuesday.
"The mood in Manchester is that Donald Trump won a convincing victory," Gizzi told host J.D. Hayworth on the "Newsmax TV 2016 New Hampshire Primary Special" in an interview.
"One thing is certain: There will be fewer candidates in the race tomorrow than there are right now."

Two of those will not be Carly Fiorina and Chris Christie, "although he is defying expectations and he is hauntingly close to double figures within the state," Gizzi said.
"The question has always been about Christie — where would he go from here?" he added. "I would say that one and possibly two candidates will be out of the race.
Besides Trump, he said "the big five" remaining will be John Kasich, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz — and Marco Rubio, "who is still hanging in there despite all of the criticism," Gizzi said.
"It's going to take a little longer than historically has been the case to count all the votes," he added. "The changes will be in who are the runner-ups to Trump and Kasich."
