First of all I am pissed that I wasn’t invited. Second of all, Rubio is obviously the better choice if the two.

JD Vance grew up as poor white trash in one of the areas most impacted by globalism and the negative impacts on the American working class. He then overcame that, went to an Ivy League school, got a law degree and then became a Senator before being VP. He is the perfect representation of MAGA. In spite of all that, this board now seems content to throw its weight behind the Cuban John McCain. It's frightening to see MAGA turn into Bush/Cheney 2026.

Yeah, no. Some of us are old enough to remember Rubio before 2024.

JD is much too close with Peter Thiel and Palantir for my liking, but I’d choose him 100 times out of 100 over Rubio. Rubio is a hardcore warmonger that would have done this war as well, while I think JD would stay out of it unless he was confident someone would kill him or his family.

It means Rubio is the establishment preference, so expect a lot of RINO shite during a Rubio admin.

Never trust a hillbilly. Some of the worst human beings that I ever met were from Appalachia.

I am looking forward to the two competing for the top of the ticket with the other being the 2nd spot. I think competition will be good for the election. Let the electors pick their candidate

Unlike the other party that picks their candidate without the input of the voters….

Not picking a favorite here, but Rubio has had quite the change in trajectory from the awkward drink of water.

I don’t think people should underestimate MTG in 2028. People will absolutely mock her when she announces running for President, but MTG’s principled stances will stand out, and she can butcher people in this administration who decide to run.

Yeah, MTG is sort of a joke, but so was Trump in 2015. I could see her doing something like this to Rubio and Vance should this war go sideways:

His experienced is unrivaled and his transformation to a clear conservative voice especially regarding foreign policy and outside influence has been fun to watch. He deserves to be a favored candidate by an anyone who so chooses.

It’ll be whoever Trump endorses, which is likely Vance.
