1. My new lower standard: at least he is a member of the reality based world?

I'm scared of the Russian leverage over our government (wondering if this supposed Boy Scout has an extortable dark side). He isn't exactly enlightened on corporate good citizenship or climate change. He is clearly a Texan and an engineer, and a typical money-focused high achieving executive, but those personalities are all familiar to me.

But at least he's knowledgeable of the world, capable of complicated thought and doesn't live in some weird ideological neocon fantasy land. John Bolton, for example, would have been worse. Giuliani, Haley... ugggh.

Jesus CHRIST I'm actually happy with something coming out of Marco Rubio's mouth.
