• Mark: “Brooks… wants to portray Rubio as a serious, detail-oriented policy thinker… but Rubio’s actual proposals make this line of argument extremely difficult…. By framing the discussion in terms of signaling and being ‘capable of having an agenda,’ Brooks is able to praise Rubio’s ideas without actually having to defend them. It is a characteristically smart and well-executed strategy and another reminder that David Brooks is very good at being David Brooks.”
