Malloy working on his partisan presidential-primary chops

Gov. Dannel Malloy took a few questions that were not education-related this afternoon at Central Connecticut State University, including a requested clarification from the governor’s Monday morning appearance on “Morning Joe,” in which he used the term RomneyCare, to describe the Republican presidential candidate’s healthcare legislation back when he was Massachusetts governor.

Blogster: “So did you coin the phrase RomneyCare?”

Malloy: “Yes. It came to my mind yesterday, if you’re asking. I’ve watched how other people have used naming rights, so I just thought I would return the favor. Last we I also coined the phrase ObamaCar. So, he did save the industry.”
