SUBSCRIBE AND PLACED LAIK))))))) Donald Trump is the unequivocal winner from Republicans' New Hampshire primary. And, as The Fix's Philip Bump notes, for a man who loves winning, it was a great one: "Trump won men, women, every age group, every ideology, people who had and people had not gone to college, and every single age bracket. And he won those groups by huge margins." Trump was visibly relieved Tuesday night with his victory and its YUGE margin; he came in second in Iowa a week earlier to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Which means that Tuesday was the first time we've heard Trump give a victory speech this entire campaign. And it was worth annotating. Here's the complete transcript, which we've annotated using Genius. SPEAKER: DONALD TRUMP, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TRUMP: Oh, wow! wow, wow, wow! So beautiful. So beautiful. (APPLAUSE) We are going to make America great again. (CHEERING) So I want to thank everybody. But I really have to begin by paying homage to my parents, Mary and Fred. They are up there. They are looking down. They're saying, this is something very special. They love this country, and they're very happy right now. So thank you to my parents. (APPLAUSE) I want to thank my sister, Judge Barry, Maryanne, a really great sister, another great sister, Elizabeth. My fantastic brother, Robert, who is watching right now with Ann Marie (ph), and I want to thank my brother, my late brother, Fred, what a fantastic guy. I learned so much from Fred. Taught me more than just about anybody. Just probably about even with my father, a fantastic guy. So I want to thank Fred. He's up there and he's looking down also. (APPLAUSE) And we can go right down the line, but we have to start with Melania, what he she puts up with. So, Jared, thank you. And Lara (ph) and Eric (ph). And they were all out today and it was amazing. And Corey (ph). Where is Corey? Does Corey have a ground game or what? (CHEERS) Boy do we have a ground game. Where's Corey? Corey? Corey Lewendowski (ph). (APPLAUSE) You know we learned a lot about ground games in one week. I have to tell you that. And the entire staff -- and Hope picks -- this is Hope. This is Hope. This is Hope. Nobody takes more phone calls I think in a day than Hope. So thank you, Hope and Corey and the entire group, the entire staff. Incredible job. Get over here. Come here. The man. (CHEERS) AUDIENCE: USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. TRUMP: So again, we have to thank the candidates because they really ran. We have some very talented people. And to be victorious against some of these people, even if it's for one week, but believe it's going to be for many weeks, OK? But they really are, they're terrific. A number of them called and I just wanted to thank them. But I wanted to congratulate the other candidates. OK? Now that I got that over with. You know it's always tough. And then tomorrow boom, boom. But that's the way it is. And really you have some real talent. We have some real talent in the Republican Party and the RNC and (inaudible). We want to thank everybody. Thank you very much. We -- yes right, right. Well, I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. What do we really want to thank right? We want to thank the people of New Hampshire right? You know, I said it and I said it even a year ago. I said I think I'm going to do really well there because I'm here a lot. And it's so beautiful. And I love it so much. And I love the people. And I said I actually think they like me a lot. And then all of a sudden we started getting numbers in. And everyone said how come they like Trump so much? But I have so many friends up here. And they are special, special people. So, New Hampshire, I want to thank you. We love you. We're going to be back a lot. We're not going to forget you. You started it. Remember, you started it. TRUMP: You know when I came out I heard the end of Bernie's speech. And I heard some of the beginning. No, no... AUDIENCE: Boo. TRUMP: I -- first of all, congratulations to Bernie. In all fairness we have to congratulate him. We may not like it. But I heard parts of Bernie's speech. He wants to give away our country, folks. He wants to give away -- we're not going to let it happen. We're not going to let it happen. I don't know where it's going with Bernie. We wish him a lot of luck. But we are going to make America great again. But we're going to do it the old fashioned way. We're going to beat China, Japan. We're going to beat Mexico at trade. We're going to beat all of these countries that are taking so much of our money away from us on a daily basis. It's not going to happen anymore. We have the greatest businesspeople right now in the world. They call me all the time. They want to be involved. We have political hacks negotiating our deals for billions and billions and billions of dollars.
