moy has even less self-awareness of his own stupidity than BL.
That's quite an accomplishment.
When you can't attack the point being made.... Attack the person, eh?
Calling Rubio Obama II is really looking for the easy way to dismiss him.
Nearly every policy and belief he has is the opposite of BO. It wasnt the lack of years work that tripped up BO it was lousy ideas.
If you don't think they were, then Hillary is probably your choice anyhow.
(Which isn't a specific you, just a general one)
Except that I believe a MAJOR problem with Obama was experience, or lack thereof, just like Rubio. Obama never had to reach across the aisle before being the president, never formed relationships with any republicans, a rookie at the art of negotiating, and what did we get.... Gridlock. He can't get a single vote from republicans because he has never negotiated with them. Even George Bush got substantial democratic support for no child left behind, the patriot act, and the bailout bill. There is value in the older guys, and experience... A guy like Joe Biden could call up McCain and say 'John, I really need a few of your guys on board, what will it take?'. Obama doesn't have that ability because he didn't put in the time to build relationships, nor does Rubio. As for Trump, he knows many if not all of the old timers in the Senate and House. He's worked with many of them I'm sure, he's donated to many. He has relationships with them. He knows how to negotiate which will help him work with them. I believe Trump will do a better job uniting congress than Rubio can. Trump has negotiated labor contracts with Union Leaders, that's no small feat. Rubio???
