But to pivot from accountability for his stewardship of the state and the taxpayer dollars to blame it all on Donald Trump is quite something.
But as I said, just as an observer of human beings and of the subspecies of human beings called politicians, I wonder whether he believes what he's saying or not.
The governor now is trying to convince people, as he declines, changes course, and does run for term, that he has a zeal for ferreting out the wrongdoing.
And that's belied by two things.
It's belied by the fact that he was in charge when all this was happening, and there were indictments.
There was clear indication.
He showed no zeal to ferret this out for the reasons probably likely that you said.
But the other thing is, I just don't find his performance compelling.
If you're spending more time talking about Donald Trump and being defiant about not resigning,
then you are laying out a detailed plan rather than just some rhetoric about getting to the bottom of it it's just hard to believe that there's a determination here and i think there must have been horrible poll numbers to get him to decide he wasn't going to run for re-election because that's what he was about somebody must have done a poll and found that his chances of winning even in a blue state were pretty miserable
I think it's settled.
They're genuine friends.
Sometimes in politics, people say they're friends and they're not, but these guys are.
And Rubio understands the reality.
He's not going to leapfrog over Vance if Vance decides to run.
But the future will probably take care of itself.
But what I traced on NextUp, and I think it's just an incredible human story, is 10 years ago, this guy was calling Donald Trump, or Donald Trump was calling him Little Marco.
and he was there he was he was calling trump a fraud and he was uh and he was making jokes about the size of donald trump's hands and now he is he is so well thought of in general in the administration and like henry kissinger first person since kissinger to have both the jobs national security advisor and secretary of state and on this latin america stuff his influence is even greater
because of his his familiarity with the region as the son of cuban immigrants as someone very familiar with latin american dictators and the culture and the language and the the rhythms of this whole thing so uh he's extremely powerful right now and extremely respected and his ties to vance trump susie weill stephen miller he's just uh he's just uh rare to see this and he doesn't have very many enemies
even on Capitol Hill, where he served, where people are generally pissed off at the White House.
