They're really going at him pretty good. This should make trump go ballistic.

How about North Korea?" Plenty of biz opportunities going to waste there!

As stated elsewhere in this thread, my bet is that in the end, Rubio will vote for Tillerson. I would love to be wrong!
Rubio is already campaigning for 2020.
