Marco Rubio is back in the thick of it.
The Florida Republican, who reversed his decision to quit the Senate after his losing the GOP presidential nomination, suddenly finds himself at the center of the political intrigue swirling around Donald Trump's nascent administration.
Rubio's tough questioning Wednesday of Rex Tillerson, Trump's pick for secretary of state, and unresolved doubts about the former ExxonMobil chief's nomination, present him with a set of provocative political choices.

It was obvious to me from the get-go that this had a lot more to do with Marco Rubio's childish spite and wounded precious ego than it had to do with Tillerson or any real political issue. If Marco joins hands with Democrats to derail Tillerson or any other Trump cabinet appointment, I hope that Republican voters in Florida will reward him by replacing him in the Senate primary. Trouble is, we're still stuck with this petty, back-stabbing Mini-McCain for the next 6 years.
Doesn’t Rubio remember what his support for the gang of 8 bipartisan initiative cost him?
What does Little Marco hope to gain from pissing off Trump? Trump will crush him like a bug.
He will end any Presidential future he might have.
Big test for the little man.
Rubio looked little after he “grilled” Rex Tillerson. IMHO.
Exactly .. I thought the same thing.
Mr. Rubio’s over-imagined importance and skills .. fully shows he’s not ready for prime-time.
Go home Rubio - and PLEASE GROW UP ..!!!!
The majority of the USA voted for Mr. Trump
and not the soap-suds queen Marco Rubio,
who —by his little girl antics— has just made
enemies from coast to coast.
Rubio demonstrated to the world at Tillerson’s hearing that he’ll always be Little Marco. Poor little guy. He should just go back to his bubble parties.
How many times did Robotio repeat the same question?
Marco Amnesty Rubio should have been removed from office for Gang of Eight and arming jihadists.
And for running for President when he is ineligible.
Rubio, McCain, Graham are the worst Democrats in R jerseys, but there are plenty more.
Rubio barely endorsed Trump. He had no reason to not endorse, except that he’s part of the Establishment. Cruz not endorsing was more understandable.
Pfft! CNN=FAKE NEWS!! Trying to pit pub against pub! Don’t believe anything coming from the CHICKEN NOODLE NETWORK.
It didn't cost him enough. Unfortunately, he's still in the Senate. Then again, if Arizona and South Carolina (solid conservative states) can't get rid of McCain and Graham in Senate primaries, I guess getting rid of Marco in a primary is asking too much of swing-state Florida.
Rubio just wants attention. Since he has big ambitions he won’t cross the big donor class and sink Tillerson.
His parents were Cuban nationals when he was born.
He is not a natural born citizen.
He is not eligible to be President.
Perhaps Little Marco is just not very bright.
We had to nominate Rubio for Senate to keep the seat in FL (it’s sad, but a more patriotic and honorable conservative would have lost the state). This is the price we chose to pay for a Senate majority. I hope in six years we will be able to afford the risk of dumping that petty, little man.
So Rubio, McCain, and Graham unite with Senate Democrats to derail the President-elect's cabinet appointment, and you rush to their defense because they happen to be Republicans. Great thinking!
