” … Rubio isn’t rich, like Hillary Clinton and so many others in politics. He has made his money honestly, practicing law, earning a salary from public service and publishing a couple of books. No $300,000 speaking fees for Marco. And unlike Harry Reid, he hasn’t gotten wealthy on corrupt real estate deals. Somehow, the Post spins this into a negative.
” …. The hypocrisy is so thick you can cut it with a knife. Can you name a Democratic presidential contender whose children attend, or attended, public schools? Has the Post ever criticized Barack Obama for sending his daughters to Sidwell Friends, which costs far more than $10,000 per student? Of course not.

WASHINGTON — They use words like “historic” and “charismatic,” phrases like “great potential” and “million-dollar smile.” They notice audience members moved to tears by an American-dream-come-true success story. When they look at the cold, hard political math, they get uneasy.
An incipient sense of anxiety is tugging at some Democrats — a feeling tersely captured in four words from a blog post written recently by a seasoned party strategist in Florida: “Marco Rubio scares me.”
What is so unnerving to them at this early phase of the 2016 presidential campaign still seems, at worst, a distant danger: the prospect of a head-to-head general-election contest between Mr. Rubio, the Republican senator from Florida, and Hillary Rodham Clinton. …
“…Costco pays its people nearly triple the compensation at Wal-Mart, including hefty profit-sharing bonuses. But instead of struggling to compete because of that higher cost structure, Costco dramatically outperforms Wal-Mart in virtually every bottom-line category of business performance:
” *Costco turns its inventory 50 percent faster than Walmart, and compared with Walmart-owned Sam’s Club, enjoys 70 percent higher sales per square foot and double the level of sales per employee.
” *Wal-Mart’s revenue growth rate for the past year was 3.2 percent, and for the past 10 years was 8.5 percent. Costco’s comparison numbers are 7.1 percent and 9.9 percent.
” *Over the past decade, Wal-Mart’s share price has almost doubled, while Costco’s share price has more than tripled.”

Can someone remind me why we should vote for these Republicans? Do these Republicans realize they can just join the Democrat party if they want?
