Well, maybe we'd be hard pressed to find a cable news anchor who would actually ask how a candidate can promise to "eliminate the income tax" and still "increase military spending." I don't recall anyone asking Cruz or Rubio how on earth they can propose such astronomical deficits.

Deflecting questions is what today's candidates do best. Same as it ever was.
