Some highlights of Larry Kudlow’s appearance this afternoon at CPAC. . .
First up, he wants President Trump to get reelected, as you might expect:
Larry Kudlow, Pres. Trump's top economic adviser, says at CPAC: "We need more time. Frankly, another four years would be just lovely."

But then he called out Dems, saying their socialist plans are of greater danger to the U.S. economy than coronavirus:
In appearance at @CPAC, Larry Kudlow says Coronavirus "is not going to sink the American economy." He urges investors to reject Wall Street fears & think about "buying the dip." What could sink the economy "is the socialism coming from our friends on the other side of the aisle." pic.twitter.com/Ts0g8FW00s

Socialism is “is a loss of freedom, a dictatorial centralized gov’t and ultimately nothing but poverty and poor economic performance”:
"I want to come back to America versus socialism ," Larry Kudlow tells CPAC. "Remember, in a socialist economy there is no private sector. … What there is is a loss of freedom, a dictatorial centralized gov't and ultimately nothing but poverty and poor economic performance."

And he said he doesn’t think millenials will vote for socialism “in the privacy of the voting booth”:

Fact check? TRUE:
Kudlow: "I don't want to be snarky. I don't even want to be political. We will have it out this year: America versus socialism… History proves socialism is the loser."
