<< “ I wonder why now is Rubio doing the right thing for America ( which is to tell the truth about Trump)? “ >>
I did not read the article but saw a headline after the hearing wherein Rubio made it clear that he “did not defend the president”.
Rubio can be a prima donna and does like to demonstrate that he thinks he’s just as smart as the president, rhetorically. The question was, actually, superior and excellent. Rubio knew it would go over, and that it would make him a star for a day among the questioners.
Rubio, however, seems to have lost his boyish sense of humor from only a few months ago. He now wishes to be perceived as cranky and more “mature”, regularly scowling down upon all proceedings, and going out of his way to appear deadly sober in every interview and all other media venues.
They barely dragged him over the line in Florida this time. He didn’t want to run, it was so bad. He didn’t carry Florida as a native son. No wonder he is in a perpetually bad mood. Trust worthy? “Not hardly”. (As John Wayne would say.)
Rubio won 52% to 44.3%. That’s decisive. He didn’t not want to run. He just didn’t want to sound like he was doubting his own ability to win the presidential primary, so he didn’t want to have to keep saying, “if I lose, I’ll just go back to being Senator.”
