Yeah cry me a river Rubio. The problem is that we can't have a debate because one party has decided that data and facts no longer matter. Policy debates should be rooted in both philosophy and empiricism, but the Republican party flatly rejects empiricism, and their philosophy is degrading more and more by the year. It's a misdirection to make anti-Trumpism about two sides not debating. Rubio probably hates that fucker too, but we can't take him seriously so long as he supports his whole agenda. Fuck him.
