absolute slobbering loyalty to Trump and only Trump is the requisite currency...he surrounds himself with grifters, self dealers, bored billionaires, ex-cons, drunks, abusers, idiot Fox bloviators, Russian assets, adulterers, Nazi acolytes, toadies, white supremacists....

Marco Rubio may have been semi-competent once, but now he's nothing more than Trump's court jester, echoing Trump delusional bullshit and kissing Trump's fat ass..
