"That would be a reasonable diagnosis, one more sophisticated than merely blaming "Obamanomics" for more than a decade of subpar income growth and continued high inequality. And that's pretty much what Rubio has been saying. And when it comes to solutions, a center-right policymaker accepting the above thesis might propose: 1. major tax relief for low-income Americans; 2. health care reform that covers more Americans with private insurance but at less cost than ObamaCare; 3. making higher-ed more affordable while providing more value; 4. updating Social Security to eliminate old-age poverty. and 5. supply-side tax and regulatory reform to promote innovation and economic dynamism. All of which Rubio is proposing."
"But not all of Rubio's rivals are dealing as realistically with America's economic challenges, particularly those who would supposedly disrupt the GOP. Trump sells a moldy and fact-free economic nostalgia where tariffs will bring back jobs from Asia and mass deportations will lead to faster rising incomes. But at least there he's offering some sort of plan, as opposed to health care and education. Zip on those fronts. (Note: I do not consider a promise to "knock the hell" out of college costs to be a higher-ed plan.)"
Rubio is Mr. Establishment. Just a Cuban Yeb Bush. Support for TPP? Yep. Support for Obama's executive amnesty? Yep. Support for Mitch McConnell? Yep. Friends with Chuck Shumer? Yep.
If you like the Status Quo, if you like Ryan-McConnell. Vote Rubio.

No Really
I hope Michael Moore gets better soon. He can be Bernie's running mate.
OT: Cheating cheaters who cheat attract other cheating cheaters who cheat. It's a cheat party.
