.@mikeraia Your personal opinions of any other candidate is inappropriate to air on social media. You work for the governor. Not a hard notion to understand, I believe that you do. Yet, another example of blurred lines. #StateEmployee #Campaign @kathyprojo @GovRaimondo https://t.co/8kBhT9g0Rd

1. Election security is so sacrosanct that a foreign country hiring professional Twitter trolls to spew false info is an "act of war."
2. We shouldn't even ask voters for the same ID they need to buy a six pack because there's no evidence of voter fraud.Pick one.

Was this just another way to get around our campaign finance laws? Remember her cancelled trip to Davos using funds from URI Foundation? https://t.co/e7ZSPtDy7q

"Nobody needs guns because we'd never become a tyranny & you can trust the cops," say people who've spent the last 13 months telling us the current President is a tyrant & the cops are dangerous racists.

. @GovRaimondo keeps proposing budgets that not only take money from these programs, but also adds new taxes, fees and tolls every year. Then she spends the money pandering to insiders. #TimeforNewManagement https://t.co/TkGFNRhnjK

For Raimondo to win a multi-candidate race she must win Providence. This is a Hillaryesque attempt to circumvent campaign finance protocols.
She is funneling Wall Street money into PDCC's campaign coffers through her now disgraced accomplices in the PDCC.https://t.co/GTHIOFjuOY— RIRepublicans.us (@RIRepublicans) February 16, 2018
Interesting: Mueller's investigation finds Russians also organized AGAINST Trump as well as for him pic.twitter.com/uQAfiR5Z1J

An enormously significant point: The Mueller indictment describes the Trump associates who worked w/ Russians as "unwitting." That seems to be a major blow to the collusion narrative. pic.twitter.com/0zwub3g7ZA

Wonder if @GinaRaimondo paid much attention to governing as she does to fund raising the UHIP, DCFY and balancing the budget would have received more attention?

If the Highway Trust Fund actually spent gas tax dollars only on roads and bridges – like an actual "user fee" – instead of on unrelated diversions like bike paths and mass transit, it would be 98% solvent for the next 10 years. WITHOUT a gas tax increase. https://t.co/85pyQdbWdU

Translation: Republicans in Washington raised taxes on a small group of rich people and Rhode Island Democrats want to cut them. Interesting times we live in. https://t.co/yaKBQVEnaf

Members of RIGA thinking about sidestepping cap on state and local tax deductions must understand the unintended consequences of such legislation and how if can adversely impact their constituents. https://t.co/EFJ9a8uqOh

Comparing PR coming from Governor's office with comparative state performance I am reminded of Lewis Carroll "Imaginationis the only weapon in the war against reality." @projo, @TedNesi https://t.co/kqOHjiRhGU

Just when you thought all was lost in Rhode Island? Advertisement on LinkedIn for a much needed Chief Public Affairs Officer (DLT). Thank goodness @GovRaimondo will finally get some much-needed public affairs staff!
