THAT’S A GOOD MOVE, IF THEY CAN KEEP IT UP: Republicans Are Becoming The Anti-Cronyism Party.

Subsidies, bailouts, tax complexity and protective regulations in general tend to tilt the playing field towards the large and politically connected. When Republicans note this, they risk upsetting some of their friends on K Street and in the boardrooms of those large firms, but they also begin to provide the moral defense for free enterprise. Free enterprise is fair, and it maximizes wealth in the economy. Crony capitalism is immoral, it corrupts both politics and business, and it robs from the rest of the economy to enrich insiders.

And as Fiorina points out time after time, no politician in recent memory is as caught up in cronyism as Hillary Clinton.

The Republican grassroots are all-in for this, but the leadership, well, we’ll see. . . .
