Notations On Our World: On the Aftermath of #NewHampshirePrimary

The numbers are in for New Hampshire.   Donald Trump has won New Hampshire.  John Kasich has come in second.     What is critical to underscore is that ultimately it is about Delegate Count.   Money and Organization will be pivotal.   As Marco Rubio came in 4th, he noted this:





John Kasich came in second and sent out this appeal to capitalize on his showing:

Our strong finish in New Hampshire proved that Americans want to see a positive campaign that's focused on solutions and bringing people together.

We're all Americans and our brightest days are ahead.

Our campaign has just begun and we have a long way to go on the pathway to the nomination - help us make it happen. 

This win was a big first step and I hope to have your ongoing support.

Onward to victory,

John Kasich
Governor of Ohio & Presidential Candidate

Ted Cruz came in third and will be hitting the ground running--as the fight for the conservative vote is at hand as Donald Trump will have an interesting fight on his hands.      On the Democratic Side, Bernie Sanders ran away with it as he got 60% of the vote as he begins the day after with a meeting with the Rev. Al Sharpton in New York City on Wednesday.   Some are noting that South Carolina may well be Jeb Bush's last stand.     We are also seeing reports that Chris Christie will be reassessing his campaign and our team's assessment is he will be withdrawing.   IT

It will be an interesting few months......

Notations On Our World: On #Americas Watch regarding #SCOTUS & #Congress (Some Late Breaking Developments)

As the voting in New Hampshire is winding down, it has also been quite a day on the Political Front in Washington.   Congress came out and said that it would not be considering President Obama's Budget Proposal.     The Heritage's Daily Signal featured the justification for this decision:

What Obama got wrong in his 2017 budget. President Barack Obama released his 2017 fiscal year budget to Congress. Here is what Heritage Foundation researchers had to say about the president's budget.

Here's why GOP chairmen decided to snub Obama's budget chief. The Daily Signal's Leah Jessen reports why the Senate and House budget chairmen won't be calling White House Budget Director Shaun Donovan to testify about Obama's spending plan. From the research we have done, apparently this has been the first time in 41 years that Congress has snubbed a President's Budget Director. Beyond this, there is a late breaking Development that the United States Supreme Court has blocked President Obama's Climate Action Plan in response to a lawsuit by 27 States.     Some have noted this to be a "War On Coal".  Our team's view is that it is a war worth fighting.    What we also found especially interesting was how as the US Media was busy with New Hampshire, it was interesting how these stories broke. We will be assessing both of these over the ensuing days and weeks.   As we also went to press, we are seeing reports of  Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders leading.   The Guardian of London is reporting this live that is available by clicking here.       We will be assessing the "day after" once the results have been finalized.
