@CalebHowe I wonder if it was a Drumpf who came up with the idea to build the Berlin Wall.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
On the topic of stupid questions, I remember talking in HS to a bright Jewish high school student; I asked a question about keeping kosher.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
I had not met many Jewish people by that time. He answered with disdain, "I'm a REFORMED Jew." I knew there were other types of Christians.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
I never think it's a good idea to respond to curiosity with hostility or contempt.When Sarah Palin got those questions,she missed her chance— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
In the case of Sarah Palin, she missed an opportunity to educate the rest of nearly 320 million Americans, most of whom live in the lower 48— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
Are you waiting for the Donald's tweets on Hillary. I can only imagine: "I give her all this money. She comes to my wedding. And her gift?"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
"She gives me a TOASTER. I buy toasters for all my properties. She gets me a CHINESE one. You ever try to toast a NY bagel in one of those?"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
My thoughts and prayers for the victims and surviving family members of the Brussels terror attacks. Will the politicos stop talking?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
No, Ted Cruz, saying 'radical Islamic terrorism' is not a magic spell that will make it stop. We need to think about unintended consequences— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
Clinton says we need "to intensify and broaden" our anti-ISIS efforts. So much for her experience: struggle even more in Mideast quicksand.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
And, no, Trump, stopping immigration and/or bombing the shit out of them won't solve the problem.We need to reassess international meddling.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
If Americans understood how counterproductive restrictive immigration policies are to our domestic economy,Trump would be hanged not elected— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
Trump is talking insanely about closing our borders and immigration in response to Brussels. Have you ever seen a horror flick?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
Ted Cruz needs to dial it back (and I'm saying this as someone who has voted for him). This idea of patrolling Muslim neighborhoods: too far— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
While I am a profound skeptic of Trump's foreign policy and "non-interventionism", I welcome a reappraisal of NATO, no nation building.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
I have also called for more regional leadership in resolving area disputes. I am much more in the "Old Right" camp, led by Robert Taft.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
Ted Cruz has an image problem. I noticed he was trending nationally earlier today, and boy, there's a lot of Cruz Derangement Syndrome.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
I don't have Trump Derangement Syndrome. I am a critic and mock him; I will never vote for him. But I've distanced myself from PC attacks.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
Ted Cruz isn't going to listen to my advice, but he needs to provide more of a Reagan vs. Goldwater face to conservatism, more optimistic.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
Cruz is an awesome debater who is in a league of his own; he mops the floor with Clinton or Trump. But he needs to be less strident, preachy— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
Cruz needs to inspire more and rely less on fear mongering. He should appear more relaxed with a touch more self-deprecating humor.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 22, 2016
@realDonaldTrump Once again, Trump tries to set unrealistic expectations. Short of a police state, which is NOT America, no one can promise.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
@jbarro Come on! Everyone knew that Ted Cruz was hoping to attract Trump's supporters if and when the campaign imploded. Cruz "evolved".— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
What the neocons (GOP) and the hawks (Clinton) will NOT show you in their fear mongering push to expand the State. https://t.co/frcF6yXz9C— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
@Trumpbart He-Man Donald Trump talks tough behind his wife's skirt... Wait a minute... Was she wearing a skirt in that photo shoot?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
Initial Arizona returns show an expected strong plurality of banked votes for Trump.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
The AP has already called Arizona for Trump.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
With Arizona's 58 delegates, Trump now is less than 500 away from the nomination. Not a slam dunk, but how does Cruz survive the NE primary?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
The magic number for Trump is 173 delegates more, including any additional Kasich delegates: Cruz will be mathematically eliminated.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
This does not mean that Trump wins--he need 498 of the 984 (before Utah results) to clinch. Cruz and Kasich could still block but tough shot— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
Donald Trump going after Ted Cruz' wife because an anti-Trump group is using a nude shot of Melania before they married in Utah has lost it.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
Trump had to know his wife's supermodel past could become an issue in the culturally conservative GOP. He took that risk entering the race.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
Now Donald Trump is resorting to extortion smears and innuendo going after Heidi Cruz, a Houston-based GS director. Is this the final straw?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
Trump's threat on Heidi Cruz is not the first time he's gone after someone's wife. Remember Jeb Bush met his wife Columba as a HS student.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
Bush was working in Mexico on a group project. They married while Jeb was finishing up his UT degree in 1974. Columba naturalized in 1979.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
Trump had retweeted one of his nativist cultists' shots at Jeb Bush, suggesting because Columba was Mexican-born Jeb was soft on "illegals".— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
Trump wants everyone to know he's not in favor of illegal Slovenians--just 5'11" models with great boobs.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
Apple vs. FBIJohn Kasich just got beat 2-1 in Arizona by withdrawn candidates. When you can't even beat "none of the above", you're done.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 23, 2016
