This morning Ted Cruz introduced Rex Tillerson at his confirmation hearing, calling Tillerson a serious man and going on to sing the praises of someone Cruz says is exactly who we need to run the State Department:
This is a big contrast from Rubio, who doesn’t seem to like Tillerson all that much based on his questions today.
Here’s a second contentious exchange between Rubio and Tillerson:

I’ve no doubt that Tillerson will be confirmed, but it will be interesting to see if Rubio votes against Tillerson in the end.
