HANDED TO TRUMP

“In the end, the reformocon candidates haven't sounded that much
diff
erent from Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, and Rand
Paul. All of them have had more to say about defunding Planned Parenthood,

shutting down the federal government, repealing Obamacare, balancing the
budget, and building a wall along the border with Mexico than about the
problem of the middle class. The mantle of economic populism has essentially
been handed to Donald Trump.”
