Ask me if I give a damn what a washed-up, second-string ex-quarterback thinks about anything. Nike keeps finding reasons for the rest of us to continue our boycott of their products.

I've never had a problem confusing veggie burgers with meat. In fact, meatless vendors go out of their way to hype the alleged health benefits of their products. I don't care if they use words like 'burger' or 'hot dog', so long as they don't claim they are meat products. https://t.co/rfoQZMy3Fe— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2019
The latest RCP polla show the Dems now in the same sequence: Biden, Harris, Warren, and Sanders. The "old white guys" have taken a hit. Actually, I thought Biden took a good shot at Harris' prosecutor vs. his public defender role. He needs to go on the attack against the ladies— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2019
I think Comrade Sanders is beginning to flame out in the Democratic primary. The more articulate younger socialists, like Warren, have co-opted his signature issues and have a wider policy base. He is no longer running against the least liked candidate in modern American history.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 2, 2019

I happen to be open-immigration and vigorously oppose Trumpkin restrictionist policies. I don't think a citizenship question is an undue burden for any American resident, legal or otherwise.

Leftists seem to link the term fascism to "far-right" ideology and organized thuggery (like the leftist Antifa oxymoron).

It's not so much that we left the GOP, but the GOP has left us for a corrupt failed businessman who does not respect the separation of powers or the rule of law.

No, Trump hasn't made America great again. He has made ObamaCare more popular for the first time ever, basically because the Master of the Deal couldn't pass reform through a GOP Congress. He hasn't done a damn thing about the deficit or the unfunded entitlement Ponzi scheme.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 4, 2019
Trump is a hypocritical moron who constantly bashed Bush's admittedly bad decision to invade Iraq, but the Moron-in-Chief hired Bolton and Pompeo who almost led him into attacking Iran, the dumbest war in modern history.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 4, 2019
My Mom is still angry I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 to prevent the greater evil of POTUS Hillary. Dude, I voted against both Trump and Clinton. Granted, the guy I voted for was willing to mandate bakers to bake Nazi cakes. That voluntary exchange concept went over his head.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 4, 2019
Still, when Trump took to Twitter to bash Justin Amash AGAIN today, I had no patience for his petty bullshit. JFK wrote the book "Profiles in Courage", and if he were alive today, he would add a chapter on Amash. Everyone knows Trump obstructed justice; only Amash said it.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 4, 2019
I'm not sure if Amash will run as LP candidate for POTUS (I hope so) or run as an independent for his current seat. I don't know Grand Rapids politics, but I think he can draw enough strength from both parties to win a plurality.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 4, 2019

You never quite know how the stock market is going to react to economic news. For example, higher than expected job growth numbers should be a positive.

Trump tries to scapegoat Powell for a rising dollar, but his own tariff policies tend to decrease the international supply of dollars, driving up the exchange rate, also making exports less competitive. https://t.co/dcBrQAMzWR— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 6, 2019
Trump doesn't understand the benefit of a strong dollar, For example, imported resources keep costs under control. Domestic subsidiaries of foreign companies do well. It forces exporters to hold the line on costs & innovate to remain globally competitive. https://t.co/QpabIyUcx1— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 6, 2019
When it comes to the Fed, Trump is just another political whore as usual. All incumbents want the sugar high of low interest rates, deathly afraid of an election-killing recession (e.g., Hoover, Carter,Bush 41). Trump is worried about the Fed's Interest rate normalization policy.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 6, 2019

No, Trump cannot fire Powell because he doesn't like Powell's interest rate and balance sheet normalization policies, which can be bullish for the US dollar. The Fed is independent, not reporting to POTUS. There is no termination at will, but for cause. https://t.co/UoNzKE1gPo— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 6, 2019
One of Trump's blind spots is that he has an exaggerated sense of his authority under the Constitution. He insisted he has had the right to fire Mueller, Powell, etc. Not so; he is not above the law.

The Trumpkins continue to see poll numbers as a glass half-full. Newsmax is hyping a Washpo poll showing Trump with a term high 47% approval. They aren't hyping the fact Washpo also has Biden kicking Trump's ass by 10 points, even after a few tough weeks.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 7, 2019
Even GOP-friendly Rasmussen shows Biden beating Trump. The Trumpkins still are basing hopes on the 2016 campaign.

Just a reminder: Trump won 4 of 5 states carried < 1.2 points.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 7, 2019
The only close state Clinton won in 2016 was NH (4 votes). Biden is leading in FL (+3), PA (+10.5), MI )+10.3), WI (+8), NH (+10) (RCP poll averages. Note almost all of these are outside of statistical error. I don't see Trump taking a single blue state from 2016.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 7, 2019
Does this mean that Biden can measure the drapes in the White House? Nope. His socialist opponents could force him away from centrist positions, such as the Hyde Amendment. He could run into issues like Clinton after a bitterly fought primary.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 7, 2019
But if Trump thinks he can play the anti-establishment figure in 2020, he's in a state of denial. He couldn't repeal ObamaCare with a GOP speaker. Despite a robust economy, he lost the House, a clear referendum on his Presidency. He couldn't even win funding on his signature wall— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 7, 2019
But if there's a politician dumber than Trump, it may be Biden. Recently Biden warned Trump reelected might mean the end of NATO. Don't give me a reason to support Trump, Joe.
