The real question now is whether Rubio sticks to his position or takes a crumb, declares victory and falls in line behind leadership. He seemed to already be negotiating against himself when he tweeted: “Adding at least a few hundred $’s in refundable cuts for working families who seem to always be forgotten isn’t hard to do.” (“At least a few”? Don’t let this guy negotiate the purchase of your next car.)
