For the last six years I’ve been the odd man out when it comes to appreciating the innate political skills of Marco Rubio. Just didn’t see it. I tried. It was actually a little frustrating. Why couldn’t I see what so many colleagues took as a given? So I’m a bit relieved that I find the post-politics Rubio genuinely funny. There was his joke last week with our Lauren Fox, and then last night’s hilarious Twitter rant. Don’t ruin this for me by telling me he’s not really that funny. I need this.
