As PO-ed as I am at Marco, this is actually pretty adroit.
Obama is ginning things up for the public to hate/blame insurance companies. So getting loud with the fact that the ACA provides HUGE SUBSIDIES to those same EEEEEEVIL companies is really smart politics.
Smart move by Rubio. But I don’t think Mitch McConnell will be happy.

I want to be able to trust him. There's something about Rubio that I wouldn't mind having in the WH. If only he understood the depth of passion so many US citizens feel about people who entered the US illegally, and now want rights and privileges.
