Emil Guillermo: The latest posts and thoughts from me!

Check the latest columns on SCOTUS, Unions, Brussels, Donald Trump and more on the AALDEF blog.

 

The Donald trails in Wisconsin. When he doesn’t talk about polls, what does he talk about? He is about the act of running. Policy? He’d rather outsource that.  By confusing capitalism with democracy, he isn’t taking the time to bother with the issues. If you heard his thoughts on abortion, nuclear weapons, and other things this week, then you know that the Donald sounded like he was channeling Gary Busey on “Celebrity Apprentice.”

BRUSSELS:  Here’s a picture of the Filipino American woman who was one of the victims.  She was with her husband and four children at the airport. They survived. She did not.

Emil Guillermo: Throwback Saturday–when Obama dumped on Trump back in 2011

For some perspective on the GOP frontrunner, if you’ve forgotten about  all the birther talk of Trump, and how he he showed off his leadership skills by firing  Gary Busey over Meatloaf and Little John in “Celebrity Apprentice.”

Emil Guillermo: The new politics of America? Calif.State Controller John Chiang intros Calif. Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris, choice of Calif. Democrats to replace U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer. While most politicos were wondering about Hillary’s landslide and Bernie’s take on the Black vote, this was happening in San Jose.

Chiang said he was still three months away from announcing a run for governor. But he was at the Calif. Democratic Convention on Saturday to intro Attorney General Kamala Harris, the Dems choice to replace Sen. Barbara Boxer.

California is as diverse as it gets in politics.

Chiang, one of the highest ranking Asian American  in California politics setting the stage for Harris, the  South Asian/African American rising star,  who could be a player on the national stage for a long, long time.
