Men are alike in their promises. It is only in their deeds that they are different.

The latest poll out of Arizona--ironically ground zero for Trump's anti-immigrant campaign--shows Clinton beating him by 8 points. Cruz wins— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
Trump's wink-and-a-nod to his alt-right supporter thugs (re warnings of riots) has emboldened physical threats against national delegates.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
Well, the Cruz campaign has a good ground game, but I left Maryland more than 2 years ago. In fact, I still get emails from Illinois (12yrs)— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
What I really don't get is Bernie Sanders' appeal. I sort of get Trump's appeal--they think he's a smart businessman from that TV show.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
I do get that young Democrats aren't enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton, and I do understand it's a tough economy. But a crazy old uncle?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
These crackpot conspiracies. What is it like: 'Immelt, who do you want for President this year?' 'I don't know. Who does Buffett like?'— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
Conspiracy (cont): "So everyone agrees on Hillary? But how do get her past the GOP?" "Trump says he's willing to take one for the team."— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
@SkepticPugilist So you think that cross-dressing men are confused or misled by skirt figure icons at public restrooms?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
This is Soft Rock America. Our national nightmare is over: Kelly Ripa is back on Live https://t.co/EfmbAgvJKS— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
@SkepticPugilist You are the one confused by politically correct fads. All hat and no cattle.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
I don't waste my time watching filler TV like Live, but one of the gossip portals featured Ripa's return clip. Indulgent, self-serving crap.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
@SkepticPugilist No, politically correct means:I'm slavishly devoted to my self-anointed libertine elitist heroes and can't think for myself— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
@SkepticPugilist I had my fill of you "progressive" groupthink manipulated puppets when I worked in academia. Derivative thinking bastard.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
I'm rather annoyed by the NC bathroom kerfuffle.I'm the oldest of 7--2 brothers, 4 sisters sharing one bathroom.The biggest issue:toilet lid— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
@RealBenCarson @HillaryClinton The real question is why, when the British withdrew their diplomats, we didn't.. to make a political point?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
Why Kelly Ripa thinks she's entitled to know about personnel matters not her own is outrageous to me. It's a managerial issue.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
Krauthammer's rant on the NC state law involving restrooms misses the point. The NC law was in response to a local LGBT agenda ordinance.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
I think Krauthammer needs to explain what the compelling argument is for the local ordinance. If women & girls feel less safe, it's an issue— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
I am more concerned about how a city's policies affects my facility and any relevant costs. It's one thing if we are talking public facility— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
I do think, though, if you have unconventional bathroom policies, visitors have the right to know & there should accommodations for safety.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
In any event, just because a bathroom is LGBT-friendly does not mean unwelcome advances, assaults, or violations of privacy are acceptable.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
I would not passed North Carolina's bathroom law because I think it's important to respect autonomy of municipalities. No Whac-a-Mole.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
The fascist Colorado Supreme Court ignored the core principle of the right to contract rejecting Masterpiece Cake shop owner Jack Phillips.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
The ACLU is a hypocritical organization that ignores civil liberties that don't fit its special interest agenda.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
Be clear what the Colorado court case was about.A Christian baker declined to make a custom cake for a gay couple's "marriage" reception.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
The Fourteenth Amendment basically says the govt, not private entities, cannot discriminate. If govt was baking wedding cakes, all buyers.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
Demanding that a baker bake you a cake essentially something you can do only if you own the bakery. The baker has a contract to honor.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
The owner of the bakery can't simply go on the street, flag me down and order me to bake his cake. I'm not his slave; I have no contract.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
Now personally if I'm a baker and someone wants to bid a fortune for me to bake a rainbow cake, I would take the money. But do I have to? NO— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
I don't have the right to go to Bruce Springsteen and demand that he write and perform for me my own birthday jingle.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
I don't care if the baker gives a religious reason or any other reason. As far as I'm concerned, he doesn't owe you any explanation at all.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
Maybe the baker is too tired. Or he doesn't feel like he wants to do business with some obnoxious, troublemaking gay fascist couple.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
We all have a right to our personal beliefs, but we do not have a right to impose those beliefs on others and discriminate against them-ACLU— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
I'm not making that quote up. It's from the Denver Post. The baker is "imposing his beliefs"? How?By making them wait until after Communion?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
The Christian baker doesn't have a legal monopoly. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of bakeries and supermarkets that do wedding cakes.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
Gays have every consumer's right not to do business with the Christian baker for any reason, religious or not. But some rights "more equal"?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 26, 2016
Well, we knew this was going to be a bad night for Cruz. It's still early so we haven't seen the numbers in MD yet but Trump > 60 the others— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
More importantly, so far Trump has swept almost all of tonight's available delegates. As I write, he's 310 shy of 1237, with 651 to go.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
Cruz is now officially eliminated from a first-round ballot victory, and Trump needs less than 50% of remaining delegates.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
So far on NE/mid-Atlantic Tuesday, it looks like Cruz' best showing is in PA where he looks to place second. Trump is below 60 in PA and MD.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
On the Democratic side, Clinton has won 3 of 5 (CT dogfight, RI).As I write, she's under 300 delegates shy with 1397 left, easier than Trump— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
CT for Trump has dropped just below 60%, but after a long sequence of plurality wins/losses, Trump has 6 consecutive majority wins into May.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
If the Cruz-Kasich alliance means anything,Kasich should have been more than a factor than he has been in the last 6 contests.Tonight, 18-27— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
I'm not sure what I would have done in charge of Cruz' campaign over the past 2 weeks, but it's just sad seeing him get 10-12% in CT, RI.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
The only thing I've seen worse than this was when I got nominated for something in high school, and I didn't even get the nominator's vote— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
You know, this election does have the feel of being back in HS. Everybody hates the smart guy Cruz on the debate team, but loves jock Trump— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
So Trump is like the high school QB dating the head cheerleader; he shows up at the pep rally and promises a win over the rival Jackasses.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
We know how the story ends: QB Trump gets knocked out of the game early, and the team loses big. He marries the cheerleader and has kids.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
Trump is like the former QB who gets a job at the local factory & relives his glory days with the guys at the pub.He attends Junior's games.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
AP now has the delegate count at 950 for Trump, 287 delegates out of 623. It depends on the rules of remaining states;tough for Cruz, Kasich— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
The last I read, the Trump ground game still sucks and he had yet to field a full slate of delegates in California but he seems inevitable.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
Cruz finally picked up his first delegate of the night in RI. Kasich has 5 more. Too little too late. Remember when they shot Old Yeller?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
I knew the end of April was going to be bad for Cruz, but I didn't think they would get all but shut out in 6 states. I thought maybe 25-33%— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
Clinton pulled out CT, leaving her with 4 for 5 on the night, 246 delegates out of 1322 to go. No way for Sanders to spin this.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
A look at the road ahead: Indiana next week; WV & NE the following. I used to live in WV: Trump will win.Cruz is behind in Indiana, must win— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
After that we move to the Left Coast. There's a reason I don't look for gigs on the Left Coast. This is RINO country. Trump will do well.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
If I'm playing Trump's hand, I put resources in Indiana and Nebraska, because they're the only states Cruz can win. And I pick up endorsers.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
It should be interesting to see if Clinton now turns to a general election strategy and softens her left-wing positions. There's also her VP— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
Several weeks back I thought Clinton might play identity politics & put former San Antonio mayor Casto on the ticket: Cherokee Lizzie Warren— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
Warren is immensely popular with the left-populists backing Sanders. I would play it differently and get maybe a governor, different region.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
I'm interested to see what, if anything, comes from the #NeverTrump camp. At this point, barring a catastrophic event, Trump will have 1237.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
The Texas filing deadline is rapidly approaching. If #NeverTrump plans to nominate Mattis or another, the clock is ticking, no more timeouts— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
Cruz got hit with an uppercut tonight and has been staggered. He won't win the round; he's just hoping to make it to the next round.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
It's possible he may come out of tonight with more than 1 delegate out of 6 states. But Trump can lose states now and pick up delegates.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
How I vote this fall depends on third party options. But, for me, Clinton-Trump is unacceptable. This is a first time in my adult life.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
As of the current time, I'm inclined to support the Libertarian Party candidate. I may write in Ron Paul or Donald Boudreaux.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
Caged For Victimless CrimesWhat the hell: I might even write in Charles Koch, just to see the leftists' heads explode. That would be fun.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) April 27, 2016
