The difference is that basically anyone nominated after Rubio would be worse. He’s basically the best person put forward by this admin, as sorry as that is.
Sounds more like damage control than much else. That they have to do because, you know, America thought they didn’t have to bother voting dem because it’s whatever. Hence gestures around
If zero Dems voted for Rubio then Rubio would still be in the same position but the Dems wouldn’t look like jackasses for giving him votes. It wasn’t damage control, it was a self goal.
How is rolling over for the Republicans going to work for them in the next election?
Maybe it wasn’t that then. I don’t say I support it but I’m guessing they were thinking (old school) that if they voted for someone who of course they don’t like but is actually a somewhat serious candidate that the Republicans would respond by nominating more like that.
But again, that kind of thinking is still going on in the Dem party and obviously outdated. One would think they’d learn that there is no give and take with this batch of Republicans. At all.

I have no idea how the old guard can’t understand how much things have changed in the last few decades when that is their full time job.
