Vance.

Unquestionably.

Rubio is too close with the Neocons and I despise Neocons.

To me they’re about equal right now but Rubio is rising and I hated Rubio before he was sec of state and thought he was a toss to the uniparty but he’s been so impressive

I don't think we can go wrong with either Vance, Rubio, or DeSantis.

We need big tent republicans to win. Hopefully, the losing side doesn't turn pissy and try to alienate/fracture the party.

I would vote for Rubio or Ron. I like how you referenced other living people of age . You said it was the Republican Primary. No need to qualify it any further lol.

Give me Desantis.

What he’s done with Florida is incredible.

Vance is young, the country will get nostalgic for Trump in 8-10 years imo and he’ll be primed to win. I like Rubio too

It will be Vance.

Rubio publicly stated that if Vance ran he would not. In fact stated he would put all his support behind Vance.

If he doesn't...doesn't that then make him a liar?

Should I vote for a liar?

Vance and/or Rubio are my preference. They both have their positives and negatives and I don't know who i would vote for between the two, but I have no qualms about voting for either.

I’ve been a Vance fan for 10 years, before pretty much anybody on this board knew who he was. I read ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ in 2016 when it was published. But I don’t think he’s seasoned enough for the presidency. He’s only 41, with two years as a senator and a year as VP. That’s not enough, IMO.

Rubio is 54, has been a senator and Secretary of State. He’s bilingual. He’s smart. He’s met with and negotiated with multiple world leaders. He’s navigated some of the roughest waters there can be in international relations. I don’t know how it shakes out but I see Rubio as president in 2028 and maybe 2032, with Vance coming along behind him. I don’t see them on the same ticket.
