It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.

Peter King:"I hate Ted Cruz. I'll take cyanide if he got the nomination" That's the problem with politicians:making promises they won't keep— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
It was "Little" Marco Rubio; "Lyin'" Ted Cruz, but "Crooked" Hillary Clinton: is that the best you've got, Trump?Slippery, trickery, misery?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
Clinton hits back at "Donkey of the Decade" Trump. Thanks for reminding us that Donald spent most of the 2000's as a registered Democrat.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
Rudy Giuliani endorsed Donald Trump, who has been scoring 50 or over in almost every NY poll. All of us have known it for months.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
What is it with Cruz Derangement Syndrome? Routinely pundits and media are putting Cruz in the same category of unelectable as Trump. FALSE.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
I get the fact that Cruz has led quixotic showdown battles against Obama and that he irritates moderate Republicans for being unprincipled.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
@I_Brake4GOPs In the latest NBC/WSJ poll, he is down by 2 points to Clinton--a statistical tie. And this is a change election year.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
As I was saying, if you go by unfavorables, Cruz and Clinton are virtually tied; Clinton has better favorables. And polls are close.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
I would like to see a hint of Cruz' general campaign pitch.Recall Cruz was a huge underdog in winning his Senate seat & Trump has hands full— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
Donald Trump mixed up 9/11 with 7/11. I always figured Donald to be a Slurpee kind of guy. No doubt too many Indian immigrants for him.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
I'm amused by a Cruz video clip around the Iowa caucus when his 7YO daughter spurned his hug. My baby brother was the same way with my mom.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
Feminist nutjobs went apeshit over the Cruz hug. Kids are often embarrassed by signs of affection in front of their friends or others.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
@AlexNowrasteh It's not just that, but an aging population and shrinking workforce. But what the anti-immigrants will argue is: how many?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
@AlexNowrasteh Well, they are going to argue that open immigration will flood us with billions of migrants, like an immigrant Gold Rush.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
The career professional politician Bernie Sanders is bitching that Hillary Clinton makes more in one speech than he makes in a year. Jealous— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
Babe Ruth, who made more than President Hoover in 1930, quipped that he had had a better year.Clinton had a better year than parasite Bernie— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 19, 2016
The AP has already called the NY primary for Trump. Clinton has an early lead over Sanders, not yet called.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 20, 2016
I was surprised to see exit polls via 538: NYC showed Trump just over 50, up to 2/3 over the rest, with only rural upstate under 50.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 20, 2016
It depends how the votes are distributed, but Trump will win a huge share of NY's 95 delegates outright and Cruz will win few, if any.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 20, 2016
Odd: Clinton has a 20-point lead through 37% of the vote, and AP still has not called the race for her. For Trump, he will win over 50%.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 20, 2016
At two thirds of the vote, Trump has slipped under 60% but has already clinched half of the state's delegates. Cruz is at 15 and Kasich 25.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 20, 2016
UnitedHealth, the nation's largest health insurer, will lose an estimated $425M this year in its 34 ObamaCare exchanges and will exit most.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 20, 2016
It should be interesting to how the progressives rationalize "greedy health insurers" wanting to give up their huge profits under ObamaCare.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 20, 2016
Anyone thinking that the largest health insurer leaving most ObamaCare exchanges is good for the pocketbooks of consumers is clueless.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 20, 2016
With 5% of the vote and just 3 delegates left to determine, Trump has 89 and Cruz none (Kasich 3).Trump needs 53% of 734 remaining delegates— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 20, 2016
Cruz needs about 92% remaining delegates to avoid elimination from a first ballot win.Next week's NE/mid-Atlantic primary will eliminate him— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 20, 2016
The Meaning of SocialismAfter tonight's victory, Clinton has 1893 and needs to win just 29% of remaining delegates to clinch the Dem nomination.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 20, 2016
The Three Libertarians' Debate Part II
Johnson loses on the gay wedding cake issue badly. I thought, in the edited clip, Peterson came closest to my perspective, but to be honest, I'm pro-life, and the other candidates aren't. However, I would vote for any of the 3 by a country mile over Trump, Clinton or Sanders.

Rod Stewart, "Maggie May". There are a few singles that are iconic early 70's, and this is one of them. I've loved every second of this song since the time I first heard it. And, yes, there was a real-life Maggie I was really in love with, and she referenced the song in one of her letters to me. The funniest story involved the fact that she didn't go by Maggie at home, but her aunt did, and they connected me to a confused lady who didn't know me.
