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.

2. Talking tough on Russia and Ukraine and Crimea, but talk is cheap.

And can be easily purchased. Cheers!

3. Holy crap Rubio!

He's not treating Tillerson as a friendly nominee at all. I'm surprised.

4. Same here. Revenge?

5. Today is broken clock day wherein we can heap limited praise on McCain and Rubio.

Enjoy it for what it's wroth.

6. Little Marco now calling Putin a war criminal

and Tillerson not agreeing or taking the bait.

Does little Marco want to start a war with Russia today?

7. So has Rexy Baby uttered a word yet?!1

When I first turned it on, CORKER was flapping his yap interminably & I turned it off. Well, now RUBIO is actually asking something.
