9. It would shock the GOP establishment.
8. It would shock the media.
7. He’s already endorsed a tax increase for the rich, so why not?
6. It could allow reductions in other taxes, which he favors to increase growth.
5. He could mock Fox News for its opposition.
4. He could mock Jeb Bush for his opposition.
3. He could mock Megan Kelly for her opposition.
2. He’s in real estate, not fossil fuels, so hey, no problem!
1. It would stun the Democrats into silence.
