"One of the most fascinating aspects of observing politics over the past 10 years has been the capitulation of formerly principled Republican legislators to the insanity of Donald John Trump.
Although Marco Rubio is hardly the only exemplar of cowardice in a political party that surrendered its own authority as a coequal branch of government to a deranged bully, he is as good an illustration of their spinelessness as any.
Marco Rubio is the child of Cuban refugees, so he knows exactly how dangerous a dictator—like Castro, say, or Xi, or Kim, or Putin—is to the health and welfare of the citizens living within an autocracy. This makes his transformation from champion of liberty to subservient invertebrate particularly stunning."
"Once upon a time, Rubio was an ardent anti-communist, meaning anti-Xi, anti-Putin, anti-Kim. He was also a proponent of PEPFAR, USAID, and other humanitarian programs, because he understood the value of global soft-power to the national interest of the United States, to say nothing of the fact that it is morally repugnant to withhold food, water, and medicine from starving children."
