Tweet of the Day
If someone had told me after Obama was elected in 2008 that after 8 years in exile, the GOP could nominate the most unelectable man, Trump,.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
The Trump campaign is like the Trump University scam; yeah, millions of Americans will have learned something:they wasted votes on a con man— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
The media made Donald Trump; they have given hundreds of millions of dollars of "free" coverage to Trump--and yet he calls others corrupt.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
The foreign policy of Donald Trump sounds like the result of a college bull session where people have drunk or smoked too much.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
To be honest, when Kay Bailey Hutchison stepped down in 2012, I was hoping that Ron Paul would throw his hat into the ring. Epic floor rants— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
Over the weekend, I read or listened to too many pundits saying if the GOP doesn't give the nomination to Trump or Cruz, it's "unfair". NO!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
I support Cruz over Trump. but I would prefer a more pro-liberty candidate. Neither candidate will have won a simple majority of votes.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
Nearly two-thirds of those who voted (never mind Republicans who didn't vote or independents) voted AGAINST Trump and/or Cruz.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
When polls show either Trump or Cruz losing to a left-wing Dem, the party has a right to say in the middle of a Trumperstorm, game over.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
If you look beyond the fact that Trump is an asshole, the guy's positions are against almost everything the party has been fighting for.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
The GOP not only has a candidate for POTUS, but candidates down the ballot who will lose with the wrong person heading the ticket.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
I keep waiting to see Cruz run a more positive, inclusive, general election campaign, and I haven't seen it yet. That's why he's in trouble.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
Let's face it: none of us nominated Trump, Cruz, Clinton or Sanders to run for POTUS, even if we voted for someone on the ballot.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
I would vote for a random selection from the George Mason University economics department over any of the existing 4 clowns.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
I don't know about this speculation about drafting Gen James Mattis to run if Trump is nominated. This sounds like Eisenhower v Taft in 1952— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
If I could be convinced this isn't some neocon pipedream, if Mattis was for restoring liberty from decades of progressive policies, maybe so— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
I have to say, though, Mattis, the warrior monk, intrigues me. The undergrad philosophy major in me loves the fact he knows Marcus Aurelius.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
Mattis, 65, thinks that he's too old. Of the 4 viable candidates, only Cruz is younger than Mattis.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
I have six younger sisters and brothers: beautiful gifts from God. I'm so proud of them. I wouldn't change a thing. #NationalSiblingsDay— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
Mattis could grow on me. Generals know the hell of war, and remember, it was Eisenhower who warned against the military-industrial complex.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
Heaven knows that military officers are self-disciplined and respectful. Mattis: a sea change from the unfiltered, loose-canon Trump,— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
Imagine a Presidential candidate who retweets ancient Roman/Greek/Chinese quotes vs. an unflattering picture of another candidate's wife.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
The Boston Globe asks: what if Donald Trump became President? Let the madness begin... pic.twitter.com/eOokZeXoDH— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
The Al Gore Inquisition of state/federal AG thugs is unconstitutional,a corrupt religion of climate change alarmism. pic.twitter.com/pTHC9W9w6z— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016
A true scientiist is motivated by an empirically-validated pursuit of the truth. Appeals are to independently verified, replicated evidence.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 10, 2016

@DRUDGE_REPORT Here's the point, whining, sleazy, loser Donnie: you don't get to make the rules. Your job is to play by the rules.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 11, 2016
Trump's whining about Colorado is self-serving. There is a democratic process in delegate selection; you vote through county delegates.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 11, 2016
Trump didn't complain about winning all of Florida's delegates although he got less than half the vote. For the House, we vote by district.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 11, 2016
Cruz has spent time and resources building a strong campaign organization in all of the states. Trump's campaign was not organized in CO.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 11, 2016
Trump has more resources than Cruz. There's no excuse for him not knowing Colorado's indirect delegate selection process and having prepared— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 11, 2016
If Trump cannot effectively administer his own campaign, how can voters trust him with running a govt and nearly $4T federal budget?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 11, 2016
I am just sick and tired of Trump's constant whining and excuses. Man up, loser! We already know that Obama has really screwed up over 8 yrs— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 11, 2016
Obama spent the first few years of his presidency bashing Bush. Would Trump do the same thing? Nobody in Congress is running on his agenda.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 11, 2016
Image of the DayI have to believe that there are thousands, maybe millions of voters who have regretted voting for Trump. Early voting has drawbacks.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 11, 2016
