    Marco Rubio is doing something very interesting: Instead of trying to swim upstream & stand athwart the populist zeitgeist, he’s trying to co-opt it—to stress the positive aspects, and drop the pernicious ones.

        The hiring of Heritage Action bros was a clear signal that this is a strategic shift. It’s unclear whether it’ll work, but I think it’s a much shrewder strategy than, say, what Jeff Flake has tried. It’s possible Rubio can re-channel our populist urges toward something positive

        Rubio’s attacks on China’s IP theft (a legit problem) is another obvious example of this strategy. People get to scratch the American nationalism itch, without delving into the more unseemly Trumpian aspects of nationalism.

        A lot of talk, that @marcorubio. As always, not a whole lot of action. Just keep that lobbyist money flowing.

        Ignorant. Rubio is perhaps the most prolific (affecting change) person in Congress. Try reading. It helps.

        Thank you! Nice to read some positive thoughts on his actions for a change. I wish more in Congress would act the same.

        that's called optimistic conservatism wrapped in patriotism and beneign nationalism. in short ... it's Reagan.http://committedconservative.com/2017/02/06/reaganism-optimism-meets-conservatism/ …

        Interesting approach. Not sure I fully agree with it, but I guess it's better than what most other Rs are doing (fully supporting Trump nationalism, or, nothing).

        There are no positive aspects to populism. Not sure this is a smart move @marcorubio

        Populism isn’t based on principles. It’s almost always associated with some outlandish personality.

        Senator Rubio is always fighting for the American people. He is level headed and a morally strong conservative. He is the future of this nation 🇺🇸

        Marco believes in working together on solutions respectfully. The King of Disernment. He can see the good & bad and cap on good.
