Marco Rubio is changing for the better. The man who read Atlas Shrugged twice in his first state legislative term is now quoting Leo XIII in an attempt to salvage the American economic order.
The Florida Republican Senator, who ran for president in 2016, winning only a single state primary, along with DC and Puerto Rico, gave a speech last week at the Catholic University of America (CUA) entitled “Catholic Social Doctrine and the Dignity of Work”.
Rubio’s pitch in 2016 was as a sunny defender of American power and free enterprise, a successor to Ronald Reagan, of sorts. But it didn’t match the mood of the Republican electorate, as he admitted at CUA.
