Here's a segment I saw on Sky News Australia. I know a few here think that Rubio is the devil in disguise, but let's be honest. It's virtually impossible to KNOW if a political official is totally clean. That certainly applies to J.D. Vance as well. I wasn't a big fan of Rubio as a Senator, but at the same time Vance was openly anti-Trump for quite awhile.

One thing we can probably all agree on? We must make the right decision in 2028 to have any chance of continuing the fight to clean up our corrupt political system.

Only the first 2:30 of this discusses Rubio. After that they moved on to talking about Tucker Carlson and I didnt bother listening to it.

Reminder - He's a Gang of Ten member. A neocon. He's playing a role. But they're never letting a man like Trump in, again, so I suppose it doesn't matter. After Trump, nobody has Trump's balls.

Rubio is horrible. He is a slightly better version of Mike Pence. He's an establishment mole who as chairman of the SSCI was working as hard as anyone in DC to bring down the first Trump administration. A Russia Russia Russia truther.

Besides that he's a terrible candidate because he has no core beliefs besides what he's told to do.

Vance will beat him like a drum.

Not happening. Rubio has the “it” factor.

No, he doesn't. He's a standard neocon with a Hispanic name and skin tone

Trump beat him by 20+% in Florida in 2016.

As we saw last week in Ohio, the groyper vote isn’t a force within the Republican party. Rubio is going to have the support of Trump’s base in 2028 based on his remarkable success as Secretary of State. Vance’s decision to throw in with the woke Right podcasters was a mistake.

Your tds has been bleeding lately. You simply don’t like Marco because maga is supporting him. It’s okay to admit it.

I've never liked Marco Rubio. I have 15 years of posts backing it up. You can read the many posts on here anti-Rubio I made back in 2015-2016 when I was the biggest Trump proponent on this board.

It's disappointing to see the obvious wolf in sheep's clothing being getting support from people that claim to be America First, but it's not really surprising. JD Vance is a much more logical person to support but for some reason people here think Marco speaking Spanish will make him a better candidate (it won't).

That is why we have primary elections. Whether both Vance and Rubio decide to run will be interesting to see.

Just my guess, but I don't think both will run. By next year I think both will make an assessment of which one is more popular and the other one will step aside.

We shall see, though.

I agree. Trump is going to make the decision. And I think he’s going to back Marco.

Rubio is an establishment Paul Ryan type parasite to come out of the GOP mold in Florida, like all the rest of compromised Cuban reps. They are so easily bought.

He's 100% controlled by Israeli lobby, MIC, and any big interests. His only goal in life is to enrich himself and his Hialeah brood at any cost. Larry Ellison had a dinner with him to vet him in 2016 to beat Trump according to Epstein emails and that's enough for me to know he's a puppet.

When he got a nearly unanimous approval by Dem committes and R's, that's when you know you have a real establishment POS on your hands.

A political science major out of SFL who never held a real job. His whole life has been memorizing speech bits and giving out general taking points while looking for donations. Never actually achieved or accomplished anything worth talking about. RINOs were grooming him to be a their hispanic outreach shill because they thought that's the way to win a Hispanic vote instead of improving their policies towards white voters.
