Sanders confident of New Hampshire victory

US Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders held a rally on a college campus Monday night, saying he was confident of victory in the New Hampshire primary.

The Whittenmore Center Arena, on the University of New Hampshire campus, holds more than 6,000 people and was nearly full.

Sanders says the turnout showed why he will win Tuesdays primary.

"This turnout tells me why we're going to win here in New Hampshire, why we're going to win the Democratic nomination, and why we're going to defeat the most dangerous president in the modern history of America, Donald Trump."

"And the reason that we are going to win is the American people., no matter what their political views may be, are sick and tired of a president who is a pathological liar, who is running a corrupt administration, who is a bully and a vindictive person, who is a racist, a sexist, a xenophobe, a homophobe and a religious bigot. And those are his nice qualities," the Vermont Senator added.

Sanders campaign says its the biggest event any candidate has held in New Hampshire this primary season.
