“I suspicion it was a mistake not to send someone,” Rubio told CBS News. “Look, we know that when a boss travels, he brings with him a confidence and communications package that is intense. … There’s a engorgement of people they could have sent. we consider in hindsight, we wish that they would have finished it differently.”
