5. Little Marco co-sponsored this?!?
Payback for the shit he took from the Mangled-Apricot Hellbeast during the campaign?
Just drove by his office in Jacksonville. There are ~50 protesters at the front door, speaking out against #SCROTUS' pick for Education Secretary, DeVos. If I wasn't on-the-clock, I'd have joined them. Gave 'em a honk and a wave instead.
Let's see if Marco has the balls to oppose Drumpf here!
11. I think Marco sees a possible opening for 2020.
It's not so much payback for 2016. Politicians often take the attitude of "That was then, this is now."
It's more like: By 2020, Trump may be looking so incredibly unpopular that many Republicans fear he'd lose in a landslide and take a lot of downticket Republicans with him. There may be a substantial faction in the party that wants to deny him re-nomination.
If so, those Republicans will be looking for a more conventional candidate, someone with governmental experience, someone with mostly mainstream-GOP views, but someone who stood up to Trump often enough to have a least a bit of plausibility as a "change-agent" candidate.
If that's Rubio's calculation, he might even be right.
