The speaker suggests Rubio could earn an A-minus, emphasizing his understanding of international affairs and his generally stable demeanor. The only caveats involve potential political reservations—particularly how well Rubio would align with presidential directives and the possible departmental response, humorously noting the "crying sessions" at the State Department as a sign of internal resistance or anxiety should Rubio be appointed.
