The Dems most likely thought that if they approved someone who they felt was 'somewhat normal,' that Donny would want to work with them on the other cabinet members, and even policy. Part of that ancient Dem practice of going along to get along. It died when the dinosaurs did.🦖

I don’t think that’s what they thought. Trump wouldn’t feel confirmed, bc Rubio isn’t one of his own. Rather, it’s my guess that they voted, because they’d rather have someone close to competent in that position, than some former Fox News host or Marjorie Taylor Greene or some shit.

The vote is only about competence, not if you agree with his positions. I understand that some are more interested in the virtue signaling & symbolic aspect of a vote. Anyway…Marco is a lying PAB…

"The vote is only about competence..." Ho-hum.

I know. 😆 I get the frustration, though.
