Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than
unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge

You know it's bad when a 13-year-old comedienne on AGT compares her babysitting qualifications to Trump's qualifications for POTUS.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2016
Trump's latest Trumpertantrum on WashPo involves a headline on FNC interview "There’s something going on" with Obama's response to Orlando.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2016
For someone who has gotten an estimated $2-3B in free media coverage, Trump doesn't do a good job on messaging.He burns himself stirring pot— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2016

Seriously, how does Trump's unfavorables jump 10% in one month? Clinton only clinched a week ago. Why would he trash a sitting judge? INSANE— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2016
Clinton reminds people that she's insane, too. Naming the GOP a party of birthers? Trump couldn't make the birther stuff stick on Cruz.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2016

Paul Simon once sang there are 50 ways to leave your lover. There are many ways to kill people. If you thought the War on Drugs didn't work— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2016
Days before the Brexit vote and slumping employment gains, the Fed is leaving rates unchanged. Like anyone was really surprised.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2016
#NeverTrump GOP incumbents include: Gov. Baker (MA), Gov. Hogan (MD), Sen. Kirk (IL), Rep Dold (IL), Rep. Amash (MI), Sen. Sasse (NE).— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2016
Surprise, surprise. Marco Rubio is hinting that that he may run for reelection.I felt that he might do that because he knew the filing date.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2016
I still think Rubio would be better served running for FL gov in 2 years. I thought his AWOL voting over the past year and blowout loss hurt— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2016
However, by recent polling Rubio has nearly half the electorate's support, including most Republicans and a plurality of independents.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 15, 2016

I was just reading a piece about Trump and/or the NRA maybe willing to sacrifice the due process rights of Americans who get on no-fly lists— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 16, 2016
Imagine, for example, if somehow the bureaucrats somehow confound your identity with a target. You may not even know it's happened.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 16, 2016
False positives, including children, even babies, happen all the time. (The TSA, of course, is in a state of denial.) The govt can deny you?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 16, 2016
What if someone steals your registered weapon and resells it in the black market? Most restrictions in discussion aren't even relevant.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 16, 2016
Image of the DayMateen worked in security. He legally obtained the weapons; he had a clean record. What if he had worked for the nightclub and went rogue?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 16, 2016
