For fast-acting relief, try slowing down.

This is Soft Rock America. Trump says that he's all about love. Trump is the answer: https://t.co/N87hytzQop— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3,
Erick Erickson is wrong: his takeaway from SuperTuesday is that Cruz did better than Marco, that Cruz overperformed the polls on Tuesday.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3,
The Erickson camp says Rubio only won one state and Cruz leads Rubio 4-1 in states. They are worried about a brokered convention.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3,
The Erickson camp is worried that the Trump faction, furious if they see the GOP nod denied, will pull a Teddy Roosevelt 1912 move,3rd party— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3,
In response to Erickson, and I'm saying this is someone who voted for Cruz in SC, Rubio is more electable--and Cruz had a bad Tuesday.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Yes, Cruz convincingly beat Trump in Texas, the biggest state to date. But a big part of Cruz' base, the evangelical voters, went for Trump.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Rubio continues to win the late deciders and finished ahead of Cruz in Georgia. Cruz around mid-March is going into rougher terrain.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Both Trump and Cruz have higher negatives than Rubio. Rubio consistently beats Clinton by higher margins in the polls.Rubio is gaining in FL— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Wow, Romney has just delivered a magnificent speech eviscerating Trump. If and when I see a video link, I'll post it. Brian Williams at CNN?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
@realDonaldTrump Is an ill-tempered, unqualified, incompetent, unprincipled, foul-mouthed fascist son of a bitch. Mitt Romney is right.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Politico has a transcript of the Romney speech here:https://t.co/ewh9lHGnYy— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
The demagogue @realDonaldTrump, even before Romney said a word, had a Twitter Trumpertantrum. The clown needs to explain his own endorsement— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Dan Klein describes other voting mechanisms under which Trump would have lost by now: approval and instant runoff. https://t.co/BmByfbjyKG— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Approval voting is decided by most votes. E.g., the family votes for all acceptable dinner items among chicken, steak, liver; high vote wins— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
So under approval voting in SC, I would have voted for Rubio, Cruz, and Kasich, but not Carson or Trump. Hotheads may have voted Trump, Cruz— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Under instant runoff, each voter ranks orders candidates. Then iteratively you drop the lowest candidate (say give low/dropped 0, sum, drop)— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
There's a lot of speculation as to whether Romney's action is personally motivated, e.g. to offer himself to a deadlocked convention.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
I think Romney takes his role as a party elder very seriously, and he is appalled by Trump's unprofessional behavior and crude populism.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
I don't see Romney's role as self-serving. I do think as a business executive, he has the standing to talk frankly about Trump's leadership.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Romney knows Trump's policies are a disaster even if he should win the White House. He's worried about what happens to the GOP down ballot.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Would Romney run if drafted by a convention? Probably. But my guess is that he thinks a fresher face would do, a governor, say Mitch Daniels— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
I'm intrigued by hybrid variations of approval and instant runoff. For example, choose up to 2 candidates for round 1,top choice for round 2— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Let me say for the record, and I'm serious, I wouldn't accept a faculty appointment at Trump University or work for Trump for $1M/yr.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Trump is a whiny kitty cat. LOL Romney failed candidate, begged for endorsement? That's before he saw you go after Megyn Kelly, McCain, etc.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Romney predicted that Trump would have a Trumpertantrum, and Trump did. The idiot fell for Romney's trap. Trump is a loser.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Starlet Miley Cyrus has threatened to leave the US if Trump is elected. Stop giving people reasons to vote for Trump!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
The Cruz campaign has just shot itself in the foot. Photoshopped image. Plus, Rubio is RIGHT, and Cruz WRONG on FTA. pic.twitter.com/NzDmwsoynr— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
Chris Christie took a real photo opp with Obama after Sandy before the 2012 election. This isn't like Charlie Crist's real hug with Obama.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 3, 2016
This is Soft Rock America. "Little Marco" Rubio sends this song out to "Big Donald": https://t.co/TE84SWmVwb— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2016
This is Soft Rock America. "Big Donald" Trump sends out this song to "Little Marco" Rubio: https://t.co/YY9MN408f2— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2016
6'4" Bill O'Reilly decided to stand next to 6'2" "Big Donald" Trump, who repeatedly mocked 5'10" "Little Marco" Rubio in debate 11.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2016
I just need to address the Trump/Duke/KKK kerfuffle. The record shows that CNN's Tapper specifically asked him about Duke and KKK. (1 of 2).— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2016
Trump said he didn't know about Duke: in 1991 and 2000 national interviews Trump explicitly referenced him.Trump dodged KKK: send a list 2/2— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2016
Ben Stein, GOP conservative economist and actor (Bueller; Wonder Years), said that he would vote Democrat over Trump. #NeverTrump— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2016
Trump cultists don't get is that those head to head losses to Clinton include crossover support for Trump. Trump is -27 favor ind, -70 Dem— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2016
Trump cultists are rather politically retarded. For example, Trump tonight said that he hasn't started on Clinton. Remember Lazio-Clinton?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2016
Image of the DayFascist Trump thinks subordinates will follow a Commander-in-Chief's illegal orders. Nazis: I was just following orders.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2016
Facebook Corner
(National Review). Senator Ben Sasse is pledging to oppose Trump no matter what, and is urging conservatives to unite around a third-party alternative should he clinch the nomination.
It's sad so many retarded Trump cultists are spamming this thread. This bogus "establishment Republicans" my ass. The retards don't know what they're talking about; they're brainwashed, gullible idiots repeating whatever The (Fascist) One tells them. Rubio and Cruz, in fact, beat the establishment favorites in their Senate runs.
None of us are happy with the fact that the President is a left-fascist, He's blocking long overdue reforms, but at least the GOP has stopped the trillion-dollar deficits. We were on an unsustainable course before the 2010 elections.
No, if and when Trump fails to win in November, it will be a win for true conservatives and libertarians. We will have stopped an ill-tempered, unqualified, incompetent, unprincipled, anti-constitutional, narcissistic authoritarian wannabe. As bad as Hillary Clinton is, Trump is worse. Trump would be a disaster like the so-called conservative George Bush, who did Medicare expansion, grew the 6-figure bureaucracy, eviscerated our constitutional rights under the Patriot Act, created the DHS superbureaucracy, raised domestic expenditures the most since LBJ, and got us into 2 unnecessary wars. Conservatives had to fight their own President. Never again.
No, at least if Hillary Clinton knows how to do one thing, it's to unite real conservatives. But we are not he traitors trying to nominate one of her past big donors, a corrupt crony capitalist trying to buy the Presidency. That's on you bastards. Real conservatives are against both fascists in the race.
