he knows that if the Trump/Penn's administration leads to foul taste in people's mouths, that he is ready go for 2020. After all what better way for the elephants to hide the fact that they used racism to win than to nominate "little" Marco Rubio himself? He knows that he being the one stable Republican iin Florida Senate,, he has leeway. even Trump does not want to lose Florida votes, and Rubio can poison Miami for him.

That being said, I do not trust Marco Rubio any farther that I can see him with a telescope. He is everything Trump is, he just knows how to sell it better.
