Dude, don't swallow the poison. If Rubio, whom a large contingent of the FL GOP establishment tried to keep out of the Senate because he's an extremist, is sanity showing up, then we're all fucked. The media, for whatever reason (cough...GOP talking points...cough), have decided that Rubio is no longer an economic terrorist, even though he has been branded as such from as far back as you can research until last fall. Let's remember that his tax "plan" is projected to cost the treasury about a trillion dollars through the first few years, and his only response when questioned about it is, "No it won't." NYT has dubbed it the Puppies-and-Rainbows Plan, because it gives everyone a tax cut (puppy) while also promising staggeringly high growth (rainbow). He used to get challenged on this regularly back when the GOP mouthpiece was still Jeb!'s proxy. Now that they've dropped Jeb! from their radar, they get to tell the media that their formerly hated, bastard child is Their Guy. Rubio is charming. That's the full extent of what separates him from Cruz. Their policy positions are remarkably similar, and they're both evangelical regressives. This guy isn't anyone's sane choice. The fact he's been rebranded that way in the last few months speaks only to how good the GOP media machine is, because even NPR refers to him as "establishment" at this point. On the Republican side, however, it's a pitched battle between demagogues and sanity and sanity just started to show up.
