Yes I watched that interview. It seemed that Chuck Todd glossed over it because he didn't want to rehash old arguments. (Not because he agreed with Rubio.) Both Todd and Rubio were talking very fast because they each had a lot to say in 10 minutes.

What struck me was it seemed that Rubio might be getting talking points from Bannon or somebody else in the White House(?).
I don't get why Rubio thinks he's the standard-bearer for Trump. He'll go down with all of them if he keeps this up.
