ROGER SIMON: The Missing Man in the Big GOP Debate.

You’re going to be running against Bernie (or Joe Biden or Jerry Brown or Fauxcahontas, but most probably Bernie, because he’s done all the spade work and his supporters are going to be mighty angry if the Democratic Party fat cats cut him out).

And here’s the bad news — Bernie is a much more dangerous opponent. Most of the GOP candidates have been thinking — oh, well, he’ll be much easier to beat than Hillary. He’s a socialist, for crissakes. Didn’t Margaret Thatcher put an end to that silliness decades ago?

Well, no. What do you think ninety percent of the college professors in America have been teaching for the last twenty-five years?

It’s not the moral superiority of free markets, and the inevitable corruption of socialism.
