It's hard to know what to think of this piece: does Prof. Allen really think the Republican Presidential contenders are waiting for her advice? And how seriously should one take advice from someone who thinks it obvious that Rubio is preferable to Trump? Has she looked at Rubio's actual positions? Rhetorically, the piece is poorly done--one can't start with a Hitler comparison, and then disavow whether it is relevant!
