Marco Rubio says Department of Education might not exist 'at all' under his administration

Campaigning in New Hampshire today, Marco Rubio suggested that under his administration, the Department of Education might not exist “at all.”

"I would not have a department of education, perhaps at all," Rubio says in NH when asked about Common Core.

.@marcorubio: "I would not have a Dept. of Education, perhaps at all" but at least not one that uses higher standards "as a stick"

In Manchester, NH – Rubio says he doesn't trust Dept of Ed and in a Rubio administration dept might not exist "at all."

@stephenfhayes GOPs have been predicting the demise of the Dep of Educ since the 1980 campaign, & yet the beast lives on & on & on.

@stephenfhayes That's silly, Congress won't allow closing any department or agency. Also, tons of lawsuits would be filed.

Whether it’s likely or not under a Rubio or any other administration, the suggestion certainly has its appeal.
