@JonahNRO Not true. I remember that the 2008 primaries were early, and Romney was still in the race for both.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
Uh-oh. Gary Busey is going to get fired from Political Apprentice. No Trump delegates from Colorado. He like totally forgot March 1 (weed?).— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
"Your neighborhood Republicans are gathering March 1.You should know how to get involved." - Colorado Independent, Jan. 5.Can Trumpkins read— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
Colorado has had a caucus system in place for several cycles for delegate selection, and they've held a separate, independent straw poll.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
The RNC made a recent rule change that tied delegates to straw polls. The Colorado GOP did not want that and decided in AUGUST to drop poll.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
The reason why Colorado wanted that is similar to why Trump loves early voting. Candidates drop out and early voters can't recast ballots.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
So whining, sleazy, lyin' Trump was incompetent on Colorado procedures, even though this was known to all GOP activists for months.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
Trump is an amateur.The Cruz campaign knew about the Colorado caucuses, but his didn't--or didn't care until it turns out he needs delegates— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
Donald Trump may indeed love the poorly educated but he shouldn't hire them to his campaign.Sending Washngton state notices to DC supporters— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
Of course, Drudge is promoting Trump's sour grapes complaint about the Colorado caucuses. The facts clearly establish Trump is an idiot.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
Cruz' griping about Drudge, which along with Breitbart is in the Trump camp and has been for months, is valid but counterproductive.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
But I don't see WI and CO wins making a dent in next week's NY primary polling. Trump hasn't gotten the Conservative Party or endorsements.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
I never underestimate Cruz' ground game, but polls are showing him under 20%, even behind Kasich. He needs a good showing for the next week.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
Trump allegedly told supporters one of his ideas after the Iran embargo is lifted, we should sell them defective missiles & say sales final.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
Even if that's Trump's weird sense of humor, it takes a corrupt businessman to suggest the US govt aid and abet fraud.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
Do you think that Congresss and the Israeli lobby would take missile sales to Iran lightly? Don't worry-Trump with a wink and a nod. Scam!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
Redstate reported that Trump's numbers are crashing in NY. The poll they cite did show an 8-point swing--from Trump in the 60's 3 weeks back— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
On the other hand, they showed Cruz competitive in only 7 of 27 districts--and Trump leading by majority in half the districts.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
I've seen 6 NY polls with Trump 52-60. To win delegates, majority in the district, or 1st/2nd in a plurality. Cruz is facing a disaster.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
I see Paul Ryan gave enough speech to say he's not running for POTUS. I've thought him primarily as a 2020 candidate or brokered conv..— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 12, 2016
This populist pitch by Trump for vengeance against alleged terrorists by waterboarding and even worse forms of torture is counterproductive.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 13, 2016
Trump is obsessed with how foreigners perceive the US. Yet his public bloodlust in the treatment of prisoners undercuts our moral leadership— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 13, 2016
As a Catholic, I have concerns about Pope Francis and his progressive populist theology, including Amoris Laetitia. No to cultural surrender— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 13, 2016
@MarkSKrikorian So now you're comparing immigrants to malicious hackers? How do you sleep at night, loser?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 13, 2016

@MeinGrammar Actually 65% of Asian teens live with their original parents, 54% of whites, 41% of Latinos, 17%. CEO's: little family time.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 13, 2016
The issue I have with Pope Francis and other progressive theologians is that they are hypocritically judgmental. Jesus:"Go and sin no more."— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 13, 2016
Trump's AppealThere's a difference between condemning unethical actions vs. condemning the people who commit them.Moral leaders don't send mixed messages.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 13, 2016
