Rubio caved on Tillerson. What a poor

[Laura PourMeADrink]

excuse for a soulless individual.

1. Of course he did. The idea that the GOP will protect us from Trump is total fantasy.

There are no principled Republicans. If they were principled, they would be Republicans.

11. His vote would not have stopped the confirmation

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. Tillerson is committing treason when he wakes up in the morning, anyone who votes for him is as well

[cynatnite]

3. His outrage was a staged performance during his grilling...

No one should be surprised by this.

[Wounded Bear]

4. He did? How shocking!

[Vinca]

5. Marco talks big, but he's earned the nickname "Little Marco."

[dalton99a]

7. Yep.

[dalton99a]

6. Another 'GOP moderate' poser.

[onetexan]

8. No surprise there. Spineless as hell like the rest of them.

[guillaumeb]

9. Rubio and McCain are only as independent as McConnell will allow. eom

[Rustyeye77]

10. Spineless Marco

[CincyDem]

12. As has been said about Marco and spines...

I think it was Chris Hayes last week who said, in reference to Marco having "doubts" about Tillerson - "but, I must add, anyone who depends on Marco having a spine is in deep trouble".

[JenniferJuniper]

13. The little weasel's decision was never in doubt.

[matt819]

14. He didn't cave

Despite what he said, he had no plans to oppose the nomination.

Everything is theater with these people. And where there are votes against something, you can be pretty damned sure that those no votes are approved by the leadership and made only when enough votes are in place to assure passage, whatever the issue.

15. I emailed a friend this a.m. Commenting over the weekend's roll out of

the tRump Sh*t Show. We all knew what we were getting with Trumpolini. The rest of that gang of fools surrounding him and filling the Congress clearly have traded what passes for a soul for a bunch of dried up "magic beans".
