Here is Ronald Reagan's 1984 Morning in America campaign advertisement

Then there is Marco Rubio's version

For President Reagan, it was a positive message, and in fact very true. Employment had grown, inflation was down. However there were record budget deficits and as a result, debt exploded.
For Marco Rubio, Morning in America is negative and false.
Millions in jobs created under Obama, the deficit reduced significantly. The opposite happened under George W. Bush. Things are better than they were eight years ago, but Rubio ignores that. Instead he uses Reagan's positive view for negative means.
