Sen. Marco Rubio has a brilliant idea!

And the next Democratic president should immediately adopt his suggestion, giving credit where credit is due.

"If today, the national emergency is border security ... tomorrow the national emergency might be climate change."

(Reminds me of this movie quote.)

That would be the best idea Rubio ever had. However, his tweet shows how twisted times are. Climate change *IS* a national emergency. He should know as well as anyone as he oversees the drowning of his state (think Miami flooding).
