In every person who comes near you
look for what is good and strong; honor that;
try to imitate it, and
your faults will drop off like dead leaves when their time comes.

Sarah Palin continues to play Donald Trump's attack dog on Paul Ryan, saying Ryan's political future is over. Sarah "I Quit" Palin is done.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 9, 2016
If you look at Paul Ryan's net favorables nationally, he's significantly better than Clinton or Trump, which is astonishing given the past.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 9, 2016
Recall that the Dems made Paul Ryan a poster boy scapegoat, throwing Granny over the cliff, over proposed reforms of entitlements.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 9, 2016
Trump has killed the GOP. Trump has managed to piss off the Latino in a way that mobilized record black participation for Obama.Record regis— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 9, 2016
The GOP's flirtation with nativism over the past generation, which has already made it irrelevant in California state politics, is suicidal.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 9, 2016
The problem for the GOP is that a resurgent Latino voter base is here to stay, long after the Trump candidacy is an inkblot in history.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 9, 2016
I have differences with Paul Ryan, but I have enormous respect to someone like Ryan or Gingrich, who espouses a coherent political vision.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 9, 2016
Geraghty of National Review notes that Trump is flip-flopping on minimum wage, taxes, etc. Trump changes positions more often than whores.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 9, 2016

Stockman is correct: the Fed manipulates the bond market, & its inflation target is a de facto discount on Treasury debt. But Trump is crazy— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Inflation is a cruel, equal opportunity tax on all consumers, and the Fed has failed to maintain purchasing power of the dollar.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Make no mistake: when Trump is talking about reneging on the payment of US debt, or demanding investors take a haircut, he's blowing up mkts— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Patrick Buchanan is trying to live political success vicariously through the Trump hostile takeover of the GOP. But remember 2000?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Donald Trump in 2000 fought Pat Buchanan for the Reform Party nomination (Trump withdrew). Trump said Buchanan would only win wacko voters.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Trump argued that the Buchanan nomination would siphon off just GOP votes, handing the Dems the White House. Trump saw himself as bipartisan— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Well, Trump certainly has won over Buchanan wacko voters.But his idea of winning a majority is no more realistic than 2000 polls showing 7%.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Trump: "The blacks love me." 1989: "If I were starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black because they have an advantage."— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Remember when Trump 2000 wanted McCain to be his Defense Secretary--before he decided that he preferred guys who didn't get captured?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
It sounds to me that in 1989 Donald Trump wished that he could be Barack Obama.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
In 2000, Donald Trump wanted Oprah Winfrey to be his VP and called Pat Buchanan a "Hitler lover". Oh, and he remembered David Duke.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Of course Donald Trump doesn't remember David Duke. He's 69: it's a senior moment. He's going to have lots of senior moments: promises.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Unlike Trump, Obama didn't have a rich papa paying college bills. He had to pay off college loans. Unlike Trump who filed chapter 11.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Momma told me to come straight home #MomSongs— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016

I would do anything for love, but you better not do that #MomSongs— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, that is what you owe to me #MomSongs— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
I was there what you took your first breath, every breath you take, I'll be watching you #MomSongs— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
I'm here, there, and everywhere; I have eyes in the back of my head #MomSongs— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
When the night comes, I'll be the one you run to, I'll be the one you come to, when your Daddy comes #MomSongs— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Ron Paul thinks paleolibertarians provide a middle ground between Trump's walls and Kerry's open borders. Kerry is not open borders.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Kerry voted to crack down on employers hiring "illegal" workers; opposed more skilled immigrant visas, and opposed expanding farm workers.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
Image of the DayR. Paul holds a more restrictionist perspective than most of us in the pro-liberty movement.We see open immigration as implicit in open mkts— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 10, 2016
