Paul Krugman: Trump Is 'Right' On Economic Issues

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote in a Monday column that although he believes Donald Trump's positions on immigration are inexcusable, he thinks Trump has the best economic policy ideas in the Republican cabal pretender field.
Krugman argued that Jeb (r) should be attacking Trump's racist comments rather than going after Trump's remarks on taxes:

Instead, Jeb has chosen to attack Trump as a false wingnut, a proposition that is supposedly demonstrated by his deviations from current Republican economic orthodoxy: his willingness to raise taxes on the rich, his positive words about universal health care. And that tells you a lot about the dire state of the Republican cabal. For the issues the Jeb campaign is using to attack its unexpected nemesis are precisely the issues on which Trump happens to be right, and the Republican establishment has been proved utterly wrong.

Krugman wrote that President Obama's policies, including the Affordable Care Act, have helped the U.S. economy and unemployment rate. He said that the economy has "done far better than should have been possible if wingnut orthodoxy had any truth to it."
