Jill Filipovic is the kind of Democrat who just doesn't get Clinton's and Ossoff's losses. Identity politics & a dated platform are failing.

Ben Sasse, not Donald Trump, is the future of the GOP. Trying to make Sasse the poster boy of progressive academic elites? ABSURD "Iowa GOP"
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

This leftist Dem rhetoric of arguing that voters and others who don't agree with them are "haters" is uncivil, childish, and hypocritical.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

The unprincipled political whore Trump is not the future. Ben Sasse, unlike Trump, is principled, articulate with an agenda for this century
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

You alt-right political illiterate Trumpkin cultists are NOT the future. Trump came into office with the lowest vote share since JQ Adams.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

No, the party has not "changed". NOBODY ran on Trump's BS views. Only 1/3 favor building his retarded wall. Trump has a 37% approval.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

His own majority is going to impeach Trump's ass. End of his story.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Clinton got over 65M votes, and Trump got less than 46% of the popular vote. Trump never even won a primary majority until 3 candidates.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Do you think they are going to sink with the Trump Titanic? You don't understand anything about politicians.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

How uninformed are you? ALL CAMPAIGN other candidates were handily beating Clinton in the polls! Next to Trump, most unpopular politician.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Trump has no agenda except a counterproductive, anti-growth one on trade and immigration. 10 yrs ago Trump was a registered Dem.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

It has been a while since a Trumpkin decided to engage in a Twitter war with me. I rather enjoy making an example of him.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Well, the Dems' problems aren't just clueless politicians in party leadership. They need to overhaul their dated platform. "Tim Ryan"

The jobs have nothing to do with Trump or Obama; there isn't a jobs faucet in the WH. Stock market is overvalued. I'm for open immigration.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Don't be stupid. Read American history. We had (with some racist exceptions) open immigration until WWI. No big welfare state. High growth.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Your question is like saying people will continue to fish in a depleted pond. Do you think people will come here without opportunities? NO!
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

FALSE. Immigrants tend to be younger and actually have shored up senior entitlements about about $1T. Stats show immigrants net plus.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

FALSE. Learn some economics. Only a left or right fascist or socialist believes Big Government solves anything--it has CAUSED problems.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

The number of unauthorized immigrants is roughly 11M out of 320M+: roughly 3% of residents. The anti-immigrants won't allow work permits.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Oh, yeah. Somolians are going to swim the Atlantic Ocean with limited prospects for even low-paying work. Try again.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

They do in almost all cases. During the Cuban exodus in the early 1980's, local wages in the Miami area were barely affected.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Trump has a clueless program. He believes that the only thing wrong with Big Government is that he wasn't running it.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

You believe in Big INS, Big Government. I don't. I don't think a government that has run up a $20T can do anything effectively.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

The xenophobes put up all sorts of anti-liberty barriers to limit immigration. Just because you had to put up with it doesn't mean it's OK.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

No, it's not. I see immigrants as part of a growing economy providing me with goods and services. Xenophobia is NEVER justified.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

During our open immigration period (before WWI), there were non-State societies that provided immigrants with a helping hand.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

You aren't aware he's added new ones (FACT!) His regulatory cuts are merely window dressing. Plus his daughter wants a new benefit mandate.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

You are out of touch with reality. He came out with a $4T budget. He's talking tax cuts but no entitlement cuts (70% of budget). More DoD $.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Apparently you're not a Latino. If you're an immigrant crapping on others trying to do the same, shame on you.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

No, you don't get to make the rules. Migration is a human right.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Are you that stupid that you didn't get my point about fishing in a sterile pond? If you were an engineer and I told you there were no jobs?
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

First of all, unauthorized immigrants (and new ones) do not qualify for welfare benefits. Second, they are a net plus for our economy.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Liar. The only thing you have over them is a Big Government giving you its blessing. Liberty is the foundation of our government.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

I don't give a damn about the xenophobes passing restrictions on liberty. At best, it's tyranny of a majority. It is un-American.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

I have lived in border/near-border cities like Laredo, El Paso, and Yuma. I've crossed the border for lunch, to go to a bull fight.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

You seem to think that a line in the sand has magical powers, like my buying things from or working in California is more equal than Mexico.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Unauthorized immigrants pay American taxes, buy or rent from American businesses, contribute to our economy. https://t.co/BkiJTrcCJr
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

No, you have no authority to restrict any other person's freedom except on your own property. I cannot stop you from migrating to Maine.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

WSJ reports that a number of US exports to Mexico have dropped double-digits given Trump's anti-NAFTA rhetoric. Heck of a job, Trump!
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Trump's attack on Rosenstein for raising questions about Trump's firing Comey after his own recommendation is completely disingenuous.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Trump opened the door on Comey by saying Rosenstein's recommendation was not the reason for termination. Comey was heading the Russian query
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Trump had no moral or legal authority whatsoever to interfere with the Russian probe. He needed to recuse himself from the situation.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Trump has admitted that he met with Comey, who did not request the meeting. He cannot deny he discussed the Russian probe.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

I have been an admirer of Rand Paul, but his running interference for the Demagogue-in-Chief betrays the cause of liberty.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

Well, if there were tapes, Trump probably made sure they were destroyed. What cannot be denied is he threatened Comey. "FBI Director Comey"
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

What an IDIOT! What part of "better hope" does NOT constitute a THREAT?
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 22, 2017

I'm waiting for Trump to say "I didn't have an 18.5 minute conversation with that man, James Comey." "FBI Director Comey"
