The world needs to know that the chief nut does not represent the PEOPLE of the U.S.

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!

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 renomination. 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.

He will destroy us physically through the wars he's trying to start and healthcare he will end, economically by reducing drastically the amount of taxes paid by the rich and empoverishing the working class.
