Now here’s a brilliant thoughtful rebuttal of claims that Trump’s attack on Nato is a bad thing.
Last year, Marco Rubio co-sponsored a law preventing presidents unilaterally withdrawing from Nato. On Sunday the Florida senator, whom Trump ridiculed and defeated in the 2016 primary, also dismissed Trump’s remarks about Russia.
“Donald Trump is not a member of the Council on Foreign Relations,” Rubio told CNN, referring to a Washington thinktank. “He doesn’t talk like a traditional politician, and we’ve already been through this. You would think people would’ve figured it out by now.”
Ahhh right, that’s ok then. Trump is a brainless ignoramus, and we’ve already figured that out, so it’s fine that he wants to trash Nato. Thanks Mr Rubio.

On first read, I thought Rubio was standing up to and chastising Trump. It took a pause and a second read to see that he was actually chastising the critics for taking Trump’s statement seriously. What a low bar they accept for their leadership and readership.
You know, I was going to do a whole bit about “my doctor didn’t go to medical school, she doesn’t think like a traditional doctor,” but then I realized that in today’s anti-vax GOP that isn’t even really parody.
But Marco, the Council on Foreign Relations doesn’t run the Presidency or the US Government. So, that’s a pretty facile argument.
