#ICantFallAsleepSo I'll listen to an Obama speech replay: that will do the trick.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 28, 2016

@ChrisJZullo Liar. Absurd abused statistics. Under ObamaCare, healthcare spending has increased to over 17% of GDP, growing higher than rest— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 27, 2016
Could I support independent conservative Evan McMullin's bid for the White House? Maybe, if he makes the AZ ballot or qualifies as a writein— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016
Trumpkins, in particular Vichy Republicans like Hannity, are going batshit crazy over what they see is an attempt to weaken Trump's chances.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016

Trump cultists think it's enough to demonize Hillary Clinton & so we need to promote the only candidate with a viable shot to take down HRC.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016
The latest Election Betting Odds gives Trump only a 22% chance of winning the White House. Trumpkins are banking on the debates: laughable.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016
Trump is the worst debater I'v ever heard. For all her faults and misguided politics, HRC was a hard-working Senator who knows policy.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016
Trump did not win the GOP nomination on policy. He's angry with conservatives who have exposed his inconsistencies and general incompetence.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016
Trump's only strategy is to run a negative campaign against HRC. This is a problem I pointed out months ago. This worsens his unfavorables.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016
Trump supported and donated to HRC's 2008 campaign while he was a registered Dem. Now he wants voters to pretend he's known HRC is bad.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016
#TheAnswerTo___Is___ slow economic growth; less government intervention (high taxes/spending/regulation)— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016
#IdTellMyTeenSelf don't sweat the small stuff, and life isn't fair; what you can control is your response to adverse circumstances.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016
My likely vote is between Johnson and McMullin.If Johnson were a real libertarian, it wouldn't be a contest. I do worry McMullin is a neocon— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016
I do wish HRC would stay away from this trumped-up issue of alleged Trump racism. Trump is right that progressivism has failed blacks.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016
However, Trump is just as much a Big Government whore as HRC. His argument is that he needs to be the jockey, and he'll win the race. BS!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016
A Debate on FDRJohnson, mostly due to unforced errors, seems range-bound between 6-12% vs. the 15% he needs to qualify for the debates, a game changer.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 29, 2016
To be fair, I was predisposed against FDR before this debate, and I've cited Murphy a number of times over the history of the blog. I think Murphy got the better of the argument.

BJ Thomas, "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head". The first of 2 #1 hits on the Hot 100 ("...Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song") and a Best Song Oscar, undoubtedly BJ's signature song. Warwick and the Carpenters often covered David/Bacharach hits.
