The one where Marco Rubio begins to hear something, some noise…

 “What’s the point having the majority then? We might as well have stayed in the minority. I don’t think that there’s even been a time in my lifetime where the political establishment in both parties have more out of touch with lives of every day people than today. There’s massive disconnect between Washington and rest of the country, it’s only grown wider. This deal is perfect example of it. An overwhelming majority of Americans, in poll after poll, have shown that they don’t support this deal. And yet you’ve got Democrats walking in lockstep, they treat this as some sort of partisan effort. Let’s rally around the president. Let’s defend his legacy issue. Who cares about the defense implications for our country? And quite frankly, you have the Republican leadership, in some cases, saying, let’s this like any other bill. This is not just any other bill. This is an issue about a radical Shia cleric, who is going to come in possession of nuclear weapons, at some point in our lifetime. And we should be doing everything we can. Fine, we don’t have votes, for that. … I also support the argument that’s being made, that we don’t have the entire deal, that this clock has not begun to run. And we should be stating that unequivocally right now. We should be searching for every opportunity to impose additional sanctions. We should be creative about doing everything possible. If there is ever an issue, in which we would stop everything to focus on something like a laser, it would be this. And instead I get the sense that its like, let’s have a couple votes, and then let’s move on to the next issue. This thing is done with. This is too important for that.”
