#RoyMoore won just 7% of the vote in his political swan song, a distant fourth in Alabama Senate primary. His political obituary will read that he lost a rare red state Senate seat and refused to acknowledge the obvious in his quixotic quest for renomination.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2020
I did expect Biden to do well on Super Tuesday, and as a native Texan, I'm one of the few who gave Biden a shot at upsetting Comrade Bernie in Texas. What I did not expect was Biden winning MN and MA, and it looks like he's winning ME. Most impressive comeback since McCain 2008.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2020
Comrade Bernie stole thousands of votes from Cherokee Lizzie, including costing her her home state of Massachusetts. #RiggedPrimary— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2020
The Democrats, in their money criticism of elections, will fail to acknowledge 2 lessons from Super Tuesday: Bloomberg's money did not lead to a single state victory, and Biden won states yesterday without spending significant money in or even visiting the state.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2020
Well, Bloomberg's campaign was really rationalized in filling the void in the party caused by the collapse of front runner Biden's campaign. Biden's resurrection via SC and Super Tuesday now renders that rationale moot. I expect Bloomberg to withdraw and endorse Biden.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2020
The commiecrats are resurrecting their #RiggedElection claptrap from 2016. What's clear is Comrade Bernie's campaign is faltering comparatively (e.g., MN, ME) and Biden does not have Clinton's high unfavorables.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 4, 2020

"Progressives" try to compare apples and oranges. I happen to agree with Sotomayor and RBG's criticisms, and Trump's opinion they should recuse themselves from Trump cases is absurd.

The problem with economically illiterate Cherokee Lizzie is that she's not capable of seeing the opportunity costs of federal initiatives. I have no doubt her followers will migrate to the commiecrats; Comrade Bernie, of course, is the road to serfdom.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 5, 2020

Mini Tuesday next week features MI, MS, MO, WA, ND, ID. The biggest battle is for MI, a key state which the Dems hope to win back for Trump, likely Biden. (Sanders won 1 dated poll there.)

Both Rasmussen and Gallup show Trump once again dropping back from 50% approval. While Trump would no doubt exploit the divisive opposition to face him, incumbency is not a lock on reelection.

Wow, I didn't expect for Cherokee Lizzie to go after Comrade Bernie's commiecrats apparently on Maddow's show.

Whereas socialists and populists historically have not done well in US POTUS elections, this isn't a law of nature.

I still have to wonder if Comrade Bernie might turn rogue and do a Teddy Roosevelt (1912) if he thinks "the establishment" has screwed him out of the nomination a second time.

Trump is basically muddying up the water and probably exacerbating senior citizen anxieties over entitlements. No, he's NOT talking about cutting pension checks or essential health coverage, as Democrats have disingenuously have argued GOP goals.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 6, 2020
"Social Security and Medicare"
Bush 43 infamously failed to tackle social security reform in his second term. He suggested partial privatization of social security, a reform which has worked elsewhere. The trust fund, pay-go funding are unsustainable— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 6, 2020
"Social Security and Medicare"https://t.co/lA0mGW3um1
The below chart (H/T FEE) shows many OECD countries have fully or partially privatized their social security programs. If we don't reform our chronically underfunded system, we will, at minimum, need to fund benefits out of general revenues.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 6, 2020

"Oh, we’ll be cutting." (Trump on entitlements.)— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 6, 2020
Let's be clear: whereas it's true senior entitlements are part of the budget, they are funded as a paygo basis from payroll taxes. Any surplus is put into trust funds; any shortfall filled from the trust funds.

"Oh, we’ll be cutting." (Trump on entitlements.)— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 6, 2020
Strictly speaking, senior entitlements are deficit-neutral. You need reforms to ensure the trust funds aren't exhausted. Trump PROBABLY means things like means-testing of benefits, deferred eligibility, COLA fixes,etc
Kellyanne
I think his campaign argument against the Dems includes false assertions that Dems are trying to expand said benefits to undocumented aliens (who, by the way, do pay into the system for benefits they're ineligible for) and thus endangering resources available for senior citizens.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 7, 2020

Looking at the latest RCP polls, Biden has resumed a double-digit lead over Sanders in the national primary polls.
