Think this through.
Marco #Rubio is walking around, allowing himself to be photographed, wearing shoes that are two sizes too big.
He can afford to buy those shoes in the correct size and save his boss and himself the embarrassment.

It is literally The Emperor Has No Clothes, except with the humiliation transfered to the courtiers.
