My only thinking here is what did the Dems expect to happen?
Expectations: A guy they've worked with over the last decade-and-change, seems reasonable when compared to the rest of the bootlicks/apparatchiks/suckfish that surround Trump.
Reality: Do they not remember when he was coerced into voting against his own (fairly well crafted, if I remember correctly) immigration bill?
I understand why the Dems think this way - democratic norms, etc. (looking at you, Schumer). But, man, how many times does the scorpion have to sting the frog?
I don't know if this is factually the correct call, but I'm still putting this on Schumer. He could have easily gotten everyone to #RESIST, or at least given the green light for each Senator to vote their own way, but this smacks of a coordinated effort to, as you say, do right by One Of Their Own. I don't understand how anyone thinks this dude is still Leadership Material.
Rubio is playing his part just as he’s supposed to, and so are Senate Democrats. They aren’t surprised, but their role is to act that way for the voters who still maintain a suspension of disbelief.
Also re: Warren's bananas statement - what happened to him? He's marco fucking rubio, one of the most spineless, malleable, utterly opportunistic people ever to hold any kind of elected office. He went from making a dick joke about trump to fawning over him faster than ted cruz after trump dissed his father and wife. Marco is a fundamentally empty, unprincipled person. What's the fucking mystery?

that horse shit where he basically said "well we'd like to but the senate parliamentarian said...." should have been the end of ol' chucky.

The current democratic party will gladly see us all marched to the camps as long as it's "bipartisan."
