He struck all the right notes. With economic advisors like Larry Kudlow and Stephen Moore, it would be strange if he hadn't.
Quite obviously, it's time to bring government regulation to a screaming halt. It was good to hear the EPA singled out as particularly egregious.
Drastic reductions in corporate and individual tax rates was exactly the right prescription as well.
But let us not forget that this is a guy who, in recent days, has spoken favorably about the minimum wage, and has given a fairly strong indication that he wouldn't stand in the way of the anti-fracking mob.
Go back a little further, and you find him saying, regarding health care, "we have to take care of everybody," and painting a cartoonish picture of people dying in the streets.
So, as I said yesterday, any number of this on the deep Republican bench of a few months ago very reliably held these views. Really held them. Weird stuff that contradicted them would not be flying out of their mouths.
