Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

Plato's cave allegory implies that, in a sense, all sensorial experience is indirect, not unlike virtual experience. Both are shadows of some reality.
