I suspect that the Rubio nomination is the most meaningless one that Trump has made yet. I anticipate that he will be a figurehead, akin to William Rogers under Nixon, with foreign policy made entirely out of the White House.

Trump has no respect for Rubio, nor has the latter earned any. I'm sure he'll be slavishly supportive of everything that Trump demands and if he steps out of line then Trump will delight in cutting him down in public.

Nor do I expect Rubio to resign out of principle. The man doesn't have that word in his vocabulary. So it's totally irrelevant if he's hawkish or not.

Oh, and it may just pave the way for Lara Trump to become a senator.
