I would argue that it’s not about what “happened to Rubio”, who actively participated in everything that has “happened” to him. From my perspective it’s more about you coming to grips with realizing that Rubio was never the person you had imagined him to be. 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah. Presenting it as "what happened to Rubio" excuses him from responsibility and agency. He has been a deceiver all along, shape shifting as needed to catch the gravy train and position himself to extract maximum benefit for himself, with no concern for consistency, principle, integrity. It's so obvious now that even many of the willfully blind can see it.
Recall how viciously he was belittled by the subhuman he now slavishly and willingly serves, and pathetically imitates. He is among the worst of the evil people, knowingly doing wrong out of ambition and fear.
If Rubio’s discomfort and shameful self-awareness are evident, at least your commenters understand he’s the last thing from a victim. He’s always been the sort of conscious, unprincipled, vicious opportunist that tyrants need (Stefanik, Lindsey) when the True Believers are simply too comically incompetent to even be of much use. Grieve not for the loss of his dignity, it was thoroughly self-inflicted and consciously chosen. Please: Rubio’s “soul” had a “for sale” sign on it from the get-go.
And maybe the body language that people are pointing to, saying it shows humiliation, is him coming to grips with who he’s always been. I don’t think he’s changed one bit.
Body language tells it all. His humiliation is there for all to see — his sad face, downward cast eyes, slumped posture. All of which tells me he KNOWS! Pathetic.
If you remember the photo of Trump and Romney having dinner together, you better understand that there is no republican politician with true courage or loyalty to the U.S., or their oath to the country and Constitution--and I include Lisa Murkowski, the one senator who occasionally shows some real spine.
I did say IS. But since you brought up that wonderful person, do you know who claims that Margaret Chase Smith is her idol? Susan Collins. Need we say more?
What happened to Marco Rubio? Nothing. He’s as weak-willed, spineless, and devoid of any actual convictions as ever. Trump knew exactly what he was getting in a Sec’y State, which is why he nominated Rubio in the first place.
I don’t believe Rubio is weak-willed — just someone who caves in order to stay in power. If that were true he would never have volunteered this horrifying rejection of the foundation of our democracy:
“Marco Rubio Claims He Can Kick Lawful Permanent Residents Out Of The US On The Basis Of Their ‘Expected Beliefs;’
That claim was not something forced on him, it’s how he really thinks. I don’t understand why that anti-democracy claim has not gotten far more media attention. The man is a colossal fraud who successfully conned our media into thinking he had principles.
Nothing happened to him, he's revealed that all. He's always been a soulless, opportunistic, shameless, scumbag who'd say and do ANYthing to advance his pathetic career. He's just never had to take the mask completely off and be so blatant about it, not until Trump demanded that level of assholery from him. But wouldn't ya know it? Craven Lil Marco was happy to abide.
Those who think that Rubio was just another minion forget the time when he warned that he saw the Republican party going down into "uncharted territory". That's an exact quote. He said that if they would be the party of fear that that demagogy could be the end of the republican party as he saw it. There is a good reminder if you go to Youtube and find "Keilar: GOP ignored their own warnings about Trump". I remember this as Im left leaning so it stood out that someone on the right saw what many of those on the left saw. Im not a Rubio fanboy, I just like being fair to those that tried to change things.
He was always a piece of garbage ... slipped a provision into a bill defunding the Obamacare risk corridor because anything that helps average citizens have better lives must be destroyed ...
I would argue he has always been the person he is now. He was the first to bring up Maduro leading an invasion of Tren de Aragua (August 2024) he was building close ties with Bukele, going as far as to pen an op-Ed for a Salvadoran government web-site. I honestly think, based on watching him over the past decade both Alien Enemies and CECOT were actually his ideas.
His current stance on immigration, and the moves he is being most criticized for are perfectly in line with things he’s said on social media for years (Pro-Israel, anti-China, and anti-Venezuelan)
The issue isn’t that he’s changed. It’s that he now has the power to enact policy he’s spoken about and advocated for over the past decade.
Perhaps Rubio was always a creature of pure ambition, one who never believed in anything more than his own advancement. He certainly wouldn’t be the first. But for all his political talents, he can’t quite hide the fact that he knows how repugnant the man he serves is, and how terrible are the sins he now commits in that man’s service. It’s written all over his face.
I read his ghost written autobiography in 2015. The above in my opinion describes him to a tea.

Soooo accurate! His true self was cloaked. #TACO activated it!
His hypocrisy is finally evident.
Body language tells it all. His humiliation is there for all to see — his sad face, downward cast eyes, slumped posture. All of which tells me he KNOWS! Pathetic.
He is bogus and sad! A total loser.

Not even Margaret Chase Smith??
I did say IS. But since you brought up that wonderful person, do you know who claims that Margaret Chase Smith is her idol? Susan Collins. Need we say more?
That, no doubt, comes from the same place as the Felon claiming he’ll be as venerated as Lincoln.
Wannabes!
I have not yet concluded the perfect adjectives to describe Susan Collins, but that doesn’t keep me from experimenting. None of them are nice.

With Rubio, I've definitely concluded the "Intentions were never ever real"
I think, for Rubio, the calculus is do or say ANYTHING for power.
Nothing happened to him, he's revealed that all. He's always been a soulless, opportunistic, shameless, scumbag who'd say and do ANYthing to advance his pathetic career. He's just never had to take the mask completely off and be so blatant about it, not until Trump demanded that level of assholery from him. But wouldn't ya know it?

Once a cunt, always a cunt.
Thank you for writing what others look away from. "Viper pit": got it now.
There’s a special place in hell for people like Rubio.
I honestly feel sorry for Rubio. You can see his soul struggling, conflicted, trapped.
The suit is even rumpled and badly tailored. I can’t even with any of this. Is he going to buy army pants and flip flops, too?

He is an opportunist, plain and simple. He was as a state representative and still is now.
