I think you're giving Rubio far more credit than he deserves here, Liz, and providing him with an escape hatch from this disaster.
In my opinion, the man straight out lied to good and trusting people to get himself elected, then promptly settled in with his real friends, the vermin on the left.
No one tricked Marco Rubio into betraying us and everything he claimed he stood for. He did that willingly, and all by himself.
Nice take——now I’m kicking myself for giving him an excuse.
