who seems to think they have good qualities.

Tweet of the Day

Is Ted Cruz electable? Yes, but he's got work to do. He has the highest net favorables among GOP candidates, -5 among independents, -54 Dems
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 8, 2016

Trump is off the charts bad, despite his delusional hubris over building a new movement. He has less than half Cruz' fav +30R , -13I, -74D.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 8, 2016

So when voters have to ask today until the convention: do you want to lose both the White House and the Congress with Trump heading ticket?
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 8, 2016

The Democrats will go nuclear on Trump's ass for the general election. There are 4 decades of Trump saying and doing stupid things on tape.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 8, 2016

Keep in mind that Trump's ratings are already in the toilet. With all of Clinton's own unfavorables, she beats Trump. Trump is in quicksand.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 8, 2016

Trump's quicksand:if he rails against Clinton,he drives her favorables up,his down.His volatile behavior sinks him deeper to political death
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 8, 2016

How does Cruz improve his favorables with independents and Democrats? He needs to soften his image, talk in practical terms, show some humor
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 8, 2016

Has 'establishment' become the e-word?It's now become the straw man of populist whores like Donald Trump,Bernie Sanders &media conservatives

This is Soft Rock America. "Big Donald" Trump sends this out to "Little Marco" Rubio https://t.co/bKeAPsUcDm

The AP has called Mississippi for Trump, but we're only seeing early votes. To me, Trump will win Detroit because Kasich & Cruz are in 20's.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

Marco Rubio is done.The voters are moving to other candidates.He is currently below 5% in MS, 10% in MI. Cruz may lose but is overperforming
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

The AP just called Michigan for Trump. Right now he's right at the RCP poll average. The question is whether Cruz can power over Kasich.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

At halftime MI, Trump 37.1 Kasich 25.3 Cruz 24 RCP 37.3 25 19. Mississippi Trump 49.5 Cruz 35.4 (+14) Last RCP poll Trump 41 Cruz 17 (+24)
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

Will the tortoise beat the hare? With 74% of the MI vote in, Cruz is 0.2 pts behind Kasich; he's been behind all night.

To hypocritical Trump calling for "unity": go to hell. "I have not yet begun to fight!" - John Paul Jones
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

In early Idaho returns, Cruz 39, Rubio 27, Trump 23. These may be banked votes, but Cruz may be able to claim a win on the night yet.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

For the first time tonight, Cruz has taken second place over Kasich in Michigan at the 88% mark.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

In Idaho at 14%, Cruz 38, Trump 31, Rubio 19.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

In case anyone cared, the democratic socialist won Michigan (I thought Detroit blacks would win the state for Clinton), and Clinton won MS.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

Ok, Cruz has a 9-point lead with a quarter of the vote in ID, and I'm not seeing an upward trend to Trump. No call from AP, but I say Cruz.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

Guess who kicks Trump's ass nationwide? pic.twitter.com/l4sWP76fz1
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

Once again, non-Trumps beat Trump in MS, MI, and ID.

@KevinNR, whos superb post about white poverty in Kentucky was cited in yesterday's tweet, reflects on Sanders: https://t.co/WSS8fPwa7B
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

@Trumpbart If only Trump could teach Hannity to play dead...
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

@daveweigel I don't think so. Those may have been banked votes. Cruz seems to have picked up a bit.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

@Weekes_Robert @NRO @KevinNR @BernieSanders You eliminate costly, drawn-out government approvals; you let consumers make their own choices.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

@Weekes_Robert @NRO @KevinNR @BernieSanders You stop prohibiting willing workers & employers from settling below a political whore's number.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

@Weekes_Robert @NRO @KevinNR @BernieSanders You stop empire building the government bureaucracy; you delegate authority at the local level.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

@Weekes_Robert @NRO @KevinNR @BernieSanders The solution to poverty starts with market liberalization. You eliminate moral hazard.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

@Trumpbart @seanhannity I threw the ball over there, Sean. Go fetch!
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 8, 2016

@KevinNR I'm a big fan of your work. Your piece on white poverty in Kentucky has caught fire overnight--over 3000 impressions at last count.

#IfTrumpWins, and something goes wrong, the Secretaries will meet in the Cabinet room where someone WILL be FIRED.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

So to sum up. Trump and Cruz were winner or runner-up for all 4 contests, Cruz winning Idaho. Cruz overperformed in all. Trump can't hit 50%
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 9, 2016

@AnnCoulter You are beyond economically illiterate. You are out of your freaking mind, nativist. Trump is anti-growth and anti-liberty.
