In a baser sense, it also offers him an opening to exact revenge: a decision to slow or stall the Tillerson nomination would poke Trump in the eye. That might be a temptation for Rubio after he saw his presidential dreams crushed last year by the billionaire who ridiculed him as "Little Marco" during the bitter primary race.

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.

Little Marco wants to be a big man. He will fail.

[Parley Baer]

Little Rubio had no problem voting for John Kerry as Secretary of State. If he does not vote for Rex he is a real douchebag.

Liddle Marco will NOT be the deciding factor. He will be whipped into shape.

Senator Rubio Voices "Serious Concerns" Over Trump Nominee

[vinylsidingman]

if McCain, graham and Rubio don’t get in line why doesn’t mcconnel pull them off committees ?

[Titus-Maximus]

Losing respect for Rubio if he acts like this. Tillerson is well qualified for the role, mountains above Lurch, and would be a great Secretary for the US.

Limp Dick Marco is a tiny, little boy.

[Born to Conserve]

Rubio has that bleary, watery eyed look of a heavy drinker.

Has anyone here noticed this? Whenever there’s an article from one of these news rags, and the article is particularly damaging, they almost always have two or more writers. Why is that?

[nikos1121]

The contrast between “Little Marco” and T Rex was astounding. You have this little punk kid on the one hand questioning an adult, who is truly on the world stage.

Go ahead, Little Marco, delay or vote against T Rex. Your political career is just about over anyway, you pull this stunt, and it will over much quicker, but on the other hand, you will giving Trump another victory.

[Political Junkie Too]

This is a test of McConnell as much as of Rubio.

If McConnell doesn't want his wife's nomination threatened, he needs to let Rubio know he will be given the Cruz treatment in the next Senate, perhaps even stripping Rubio of choice committee assignments.

Does McConnell have it in him to rein in his own caucus?

Tillerson is a brilliant intellect being questioned by a group of mental midgets. 90% of the people questioning him would not qualify as a middle manager at McDonald’s.
