The party has in going down that road is you cannot out-pander the democrats on tax credits. hillary clinton is always going to be able to outbid him. who is more electable then? kim calls it pandering. i call it moderation because i think most republicans want to win above all else. just think, a general point. on the republican side, you ve got these young attractive articulate candidates competing with one another, saying interesting things. on the other side, you have one candidate, hillary clinton, who has got to keep her act afloat for the next 19 months. as we said in the last block, to be continued. yes, we will. now, when we come back, the white house drops its veto threat as the iran bill moves to the full senate for consideration. so is that a setback for the president?t? and does it really give congress a say in a final nuclear deal? and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24. learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com.
But here s an important thing to note. i still hold that the supreme leader of iran, ayatollah khomeini, is going to look for an excuse not to sign a deal for two reasons. one, idealogically he is opposed to making any sorts of agreements with the great satan. it just goes against everything he s believed for 75 years of his life. but the second thing is if the ayatollah khomeini walks away from the deal, he knows that this president is so desperate that when they come back to the negotiating table six months from now, the concessions that we ve made so far become the starting point, the baseline for the next round of american concessions and what the ayatollah wants is immediate relief of all sanctions. kim, what do you say? you re in washington. you know that city very well. is the president going to just sign anything? more importantly, to go to your point, this piece of
Redistribute the credits but in a different way than democrats. i think he s not talking about how do we grow the economy to the extent he should be. hold on a second. kim, come into this, please. i saw rubio s tax plan. i thought it was relatively bold, lower top rate of individual income tax, lower the corporate top rate of tax. isn t that relatively bold? isn t that going for growth? some of it is. the corporate part of his tax plan is actually fairly bold and it would for instance and importantly zero out taxes on capital gains and dividends. that is all about growth. the individual part is problematic. as james said, he has embraced this sort of branch of the republican party that believes that what we ought to be doing to get votes is to redistribute the wealth to people, to the
For president by promising to take us back to yesterday. yesterday is over. marco rubio monday, making his own white house run official. and taking a swipe at mrs. clinton along the way. so is florida s freshman senator the new face of the republican party? and the gop s answer to hillary in 16? we re back with dan henninger, kim strassell and james freeman. kim, is he the man of tomorrow? he has the potential to be. interesting that marco rubio was talking about yesterday. when he first came into the senate, he was elected back in 2010, this was a guy who really was on fire, very much the kind of new breed of republican reformer. he was out there talking about entitlement reform before most of the party would. he came in, he pushed through immigration reform, smart immigration reform. i think the problem is washington can warp people.
in terms of her pay and those speeches, on an hourly rate, most ceos would love to get her rate. i think she is not that credible. as a champion also, remember, when she in some cases was collecting these big checks from universities and when she was making her tour around the country speaking, there were some kids on these campuses saying wow, that could have gone a long way toward tuition, for example, if hillary had not been demanding such high speaking fees. she s got some work to do to convince people she s a champion of the middle class. kim, same question to you. can she be a credible champion of the middle class? i don t even know how she can do this. here s the problem. hillary clinton has been out of elected politics for a long time now. she has spent all of those years positioning herself to be the inevitable nominee for the party in 2016. but while she s been out of this and busy doing it, the party has
