Rubio points out Trump advantage over Biden

 Red State:

....

RUBIO: I will tell you this — that, when Donald Trump was president of the United States, this country was safer; it was more prosperous; we had relations, for example, in a part of the world that I care about called the Western Hemisphere that were very strong — we got a lot of good things done there. I think the country — and the world — was a better place when he was president. And I would love to see him return to the White House in comparison to the guy who's there now, Joe Biden, who's been a disaster...economically. Look at the world. Every single day, we wake to a new crisis, to a new conflict, everything has gone on fire. Since the time Joe Biden took over, Afghanistan's gone down, Ukraine has been invaded. Now, the Philippines and the Chinese are on the verge of something bad happening every single day, not to mention the threats to Taiwan. We have this blow-up in Haiti going on in our very own hemisphere. We wake up every single day — terrorist attacks and nine million people across the border. That's what matters to me. 

Nor could Karl contain his wonderment at the idea that Joe Biden owns any of the current disarray. 

KARL: But, I mean, you're not suggesting that's all happening because of Biden? I mean, look —

RUBIO: Absolutely I am — absolutely I'm suggesting it's happening because of Biden. He's president, and his weakness and his — 

KARL: It's because of Biden that Russia invaded Ukraine?

RUBIO: Absolutely.

KARL: It's because of Biden that, that Haiti. Okay, let's —

RUBIO: Absolutely. I mean, Putin is sitting there saying, 'These guys can't even stand up to the Taliban, and they have to fly people hanging off the wings of these airplanes — now's the time to go.' And —

KARL: I mean, Trump's the one saying, suggesting that there should be a deal that effectively gives Putin what he wants in Ukraine. But look...can we take a quick —

RUBIO: Well, that's not true. He's said he wants the conflict to end — which, it's striking to me that people...why wouldn't people want peace? What I've said is there is going to be a negotiated — Russia's not going to take all of Ukraine. And Ukraine's not going to push Russia back to where it was in 2014. I want Ukraine to have the upper hand in any negotiation.

... 

I think Rubio nails it.  Trump was clearly a much better president than Biden and the world was a safer place.  Karl is among those on the left who never accepted Trump and his policies even though they were much better than Biden's.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
