Notations On Our World: On #Americas Watch w/ @realDonaldTrump & Other Thoughts....

It has been quite a week on the political front as the Trump Juggernaut continues and the so-called establishment within the Republican Establishment has begun a concerted effort to derail Mr Trump.   As we have been assessing this week, we just saw a new position on torture by Mr. Trump as he notee that he would be now in favor of following the law on Torture.    Torture is  illegal in the United States.

 This was just a sampling of the developments on the "anti-Trump" movement that was quite a spectacle to be witness to as reported by the Guardian of London:   




As Mitt Romeny spoke, Trump hit back and hit back hard as reported by the Daily  Beast on the eve of the GOP Debate: 
1. VULGAR
TRUMP: MITT WOULD’VE GOTTEN ON HIS KNEES FOR ME
Donald Trump responded to Mitt Romney’s speech Thursday during a rally in Maine, hitting the former Republican nominee by saying he would have gotten on his knees for the Trump endorsement back in 2012. “I am not a fan of Barack Obama and that was a race that I backed Mitt Romney, I backed him, you can see how loyal he is,” Trump said. “He was begging for my endorsement. I could have said, Mitt, drop to your knees, he would have dropped to his knees, he was begging. He was begging me.” At another point, he railed against Romney as a “choke artist” and said “chickened out” of running again in 2016.

 Our team watched excerpts of the GOP debate as all tried to appeal to their constituecies  There are a number of very critical dates in the primary calendar that would determine the fate of Senator Rubio, Senator Cruz and Governor Kasich.     Governor Kasich noted as such when he said that the next batch of primaries are in his backyard as America and the World will continue to be subject to 4 months of intrigue and drama.   

 As the GOP has been in its' feud, the Democrats are also continuing their quest.  Based on the wins by Mrs. Clinton, our view is that the nomination is Mrs. Clinton's barring any unforseen circumstance--an indictment or any other development.   The granting of immunity to the State Department Staffer handling the Clinton Email Server is a sign that th FBI is trying to get things wrapped up as there are reports that some 100 staffers are working on the case.     One thing we've found of special interest has been the apparent drop in Democratic turnout as reported by both the New York Times and Washington Post recently.    

 We hope all are enjoying the show!!!

Notations From the Grid : On the aftermath of #SuperTuesday re: @realDonaldTrump

As we went to press, the dust is starting to settle down as Trump is on a roll.     Mr. Cruz has won Texas and Oklahoma and Mr. Rubio has won Minnesota.

 However, the Media has begun actually begun to look at him closely.   John Oliver laid out the true realities about Donald Trump that the World needs to take note of:   
This is as the Union Leader came out with this on Chris Christie as a number of leading New Jersey Papers are calling for his resignation as he has apparently spent 265 Days out of New Jersey:

This is as the counting in Alaska is still counting:



Truly interesting times.....

Notations On Our World: On @GOP; @RealDonaldTrump & Other Thoughts...

On Mr. Trump in the Economist of London: http://tinyurl.com/jsqavz9

The results are starting to come in from "Super Tuesday"--also known as the "SEC" states.   What is clear is that the nomination is Donald Trump's to lose as we went to press.      Whether the so-called Establishment wing of the Republican Party is able to somehow stop Mr. Trump remains to be seen.   So far, nothing seems to.   As for his main rivals, Senator Rubio and Senator Cruz, it will be interesting to see how they fare tonight and whether they would win anything or not.   How emerging leaders like Senator Sasse of Nebraska will respond (who noted he's not a Politician when he was on MSNBC's Morning Joe Earlier this morning) will also be interesting to observe.

 As for the Democrats, our view is that it is Mrs. Clinton's to lose despie Senator Sanders' very impressive showing--including a decisive win in his home state of Vermont.    Our view is that not withstanding the strength of primary wins, the challenge is the general election  

 Truly interesting Times....
