You do sometimes wonder what Senator Marco Rubio makes of his soon-to-be boss, Donald Trump. Once upon a time, they were rivals for the Republican Party presidential candidacy. And Mr Trump didn't just oppose Senator Rubio, he mocked him for his diminutive stature, calling him Little Marco. Marco Rubio, in turn, called him a con artist –
