Guess we’ll see how big of a patriot the VP is for Venezuela.

What do you mean? Trump and Rubio are insisting that Venezuela has to start doing what's in the best interest of the United States. That they have to do things that our country finds beneficial, that help our citizens.

Knuckling under to the demands of a foreign power is not normally regarded as an act of patriotism. Usually, fortitude and defiance in the face of foreign belligerence is the hallmark of the patriot - not compliance and acquiescence. So I don't think that Rodriguez is all that likely to let Washington "run the direction" of their national policy, or gain control of their oil resources - nor that many Venezuelans would regard her a "patriot" if she did....
