When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things,
shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power,
it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another.
Thomas Jefferson

Students told me they judged my exams by how much beer it took to forget them. One NR author suggests he'll need to liquor up after voting.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016

Bernie Sanders is a Jewish carpenter delivering public speeches about the poor? Don't even go there..— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
Of course when Pope Francis had heard that a Jewish carpenter wanted to meet with him, he had someone else in mind.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
This is Soft Rock America. And, no, Joan Osborne wasn't singing about Jewish carpenter Bernie Sanders: https://t.co/MKIYuIO5vl— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
Donald Boudreaux reminds us Nobel laureates in economics can be boneheads, like Stiglitz who had predicted Chavez/Maduro socialism success.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016

The Trump cultists are giddy over 3 recent national polls showing Trump with a narrow lead; RCP shows him with a 0.4% lead over recent poll— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
The hard fact is that Clinton is still in a bitter partisan battle for the Democratic nomination and that's affecting her numbers.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
The fact remains if you go over the Trump-Clinton polls on RCP over the past several months, Trump only won 3 all year until the past week.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
If you look at RCP's poll graph Trump and Clinton have narrowed 3 prior times, just to see Clinton open up a gap.Trump's best +5,Clinton +18— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
@_arbitrageur_ @GeorgeWill Who the hell are you talking about, George Will?George Will knows more policy than Scammin' Sleazy Donald— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
@_arbitrageur_ @GeorgeWill The corrupt Donald Trump is an idiot who has run businesses 4 times into bankruptcy; he has stiffed creditors.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
@_arbitrageur_ @GeorgeWill Donald Trump is an economically illiterate, ill-tempered, unqualified, unprincipled authoritarian buffoon.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
@_arbitrageur_ @GeorgeWill The only thing Trump does is buy and sell political favors. I could be in a coma and be a better POTUS.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
@_arbitrageur_ @GeorgeWill Trump is anti-liberty, anti-immigrant, anti-trade, anti-market. He is a big government shill, a second Hoover.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
National Review is struggling to find its feet after Trump became the presumptive nominee. But they helped prepare the way, e.g., Krikorian.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016

Gary Johnson keeps screwing up he issue of voluntary transactions. There's a world of difference between the State compelling vs. tolerating— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
That is, the State cannot tell me I must not bake a wedding cake for a gay couple, but at the same time it can't tell me I must bake a cake.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
Gary Johnson doesn't like recent laws passed reinforcing protection of religious liberty thinking that this is a loophole rationalizing bias— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
In one sense, I think an argument can be made that economic liberty is a broader concept; it doesn't matter whether my reason is religious.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
Johnson is espousing a slippery slope theory, that if one party discriminates, all may in some discriminatory conspiracy. No trust in mkts.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
Tucker emphasizes the point that markets tend to be inclusive by their nature. Even in the bakery cases the Christian owners sold to gays.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
Details differ by case, but they ranged from baking to simply decorating a cake. (My mom used to decorate cakes as more of a hobby.)— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016

Whereas I would probably support Johnson over Trump and Clinton, Johnson needs to reassure me on his commitment to economic liberty.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) May 22, 2016
