1. Lyin’ Marco

I remember when I thought Marco Rubio was the future of conservatism:

Let me save you the click:

  • “Donald Trump is a con-artist.”

  • Question: What would a Trump government look like? “It would be chaos.”

  • “We’re about to turn over . . . the nuclear codes to an erratic individual.”

  • “I would prefer not to get into a fight with other Republicans, but I would much more prefer not to turn over the party to a con artist like Donald Trump.”

You remember that, I’m sure.
