Peter Schorsch says there is a right, smart way to take on Republican Marco Rubio and there is a dumb, ineffective way to challenge him. What we are seeing out of Donald Trump this week – attacking the first-term U.S. senator and former speaker of the Florida House as a “disloyal” and “sweaty” “lightweight” – is the latter. Trump’s tactics remind Schorsch of the same losing strategy Charlie Crist employed against Rubio during the 2010 Senate race.
Fall is Chris Timmons’ favorite time of the year. Yet, the beginning of fall is also the end of summer reading, which he calls reading at its most ambitious.

Despite the summer disappointment of unfinished reading, fall is here and the cool, elegant flow of this time of year makes Timmons “buoyant and expectant.”
