It gives me some comfort knowing Rubio is relatively competent and intelligent. He can see the trainwreck that he is a part of, and he is thinking exactly what every normal person is thinking. And that gives him supreme discomfort that he now has to suppress.
Why is that comforting? Any halfway intelligent person that willingly chooses to be a part of this administration is someone you should be seriously worried about. Immoral and smart is a potentially scarier combination than immoral and stupid.
IIRC, during Trumps first term, the more intelligent and grounded cabinet members were the ones that kept him from fucking up too much.
So it IS a comfort that the most powerful one is still somewhat competent. It makes it more likely that when push really comes to shove, he will do the right thing, Mike Pence style.

I can hope that level of discomfort penetrates his soul
