[Rubio is a jackass who is working an angle. No need to speculate there.]

His angle, like Kasich’s, is 2020. In the final few months of the GOP primaries, Rubio, along with Kasich, had no hope of clinching the nomination and could have gotten out and improved Cruz’s odds of beating Trump. Instead, Rubio and Kasich hung in there, because they thought Cruz would beat Hillary, meaning 2020 would be out of the question as a popular Cruz ran for re-election, whereas they believed Hillary would beat Trump, and they’d get another bite at the apple in 2020. Today, Rubio thinks Trump is too difficult to primary in 2020, and he’d rather try his chances with Pence. So he’s throwing a few land mines in Trump’s direction, hoping to get Democratic majorities in Congress in order that Trump is impeached and removed in order that he might go up against Pence in 2020. If Trump is impeached, I hope that kills Rubio’s White House chances in 2020 and his Senate re-election bid in 2022.

Ted Cruz could NEVER ... E V E R ... be popular. He has the personality of a snake and all the likability of a cockroach. You’re in utter fantasy-land if you think he could have EVER won the Republican nomination, and even more so if you think he would have been popular as President.

But at least we know there’s at least one person on planet earth who seems like Ted as much as Ted likes Ted. I didn’t think it was possible.

Good Post - Rubio is testing the 2020 waters. He knows Kasich is not a threat. Kasich couldn’t even win Ohio in a 2020 primary race.
