Hey, I just want to be helpful to America’s Mussolini!

Great. No sooner do I finish expressing my regret at having admired Rick “Trump is a Cancer and I Want to Be His Veep” Perry than this happens.

Rubio asserts his willingness not only to attend the GOP convention but speak in support of the man he once called a “con artist,” saying: “I want to be helpful.”

Approximately ten nanoseconds later (I refer not to chronos time but to chairos time, which is what counts in politics) Trump tweets: “Poll data shows that @marcorubio does by far the best in holding onto his Senate seat in Florida. Important to keep the MAJORITY. Run Marco!”

I wonder if Rubio smacked his forehead at the indecorous lack of delay between the delivery of quid and the delivery of quo.
