My guess is he will be Sec of defense under JD

HHTM once told me I was the reason Trump was the GOP nominee. His claim, not mine.

Considering the foreign policy liability that Rubio represents, JD won't put him on the admin at all. If JD is about America First, Rubio has no part of that administration. He's a shill.
Tulsi for SOS and bring back Joe Kent for Secretary of Defense.

Funny seeing someone argue about stuff that happened 10 years before they joined the board.
Question: How is any of Rubio's neocon leanings not exactly what Trump has been doing the last 15 months? I've always been a fan of Rubio except his foreign intervention inclinations, and that's ultimately what cost him in 2015 GOP primaries.
Vance is in a tough spot. How does he deal with the foreign intervention questions during the primary. He either is seen as a flip flopper if he embraces the actions of the last 15 months or he comes off as weak for not speaking up more. Rubio at minimum can show 15 years of consistency.

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.
Whoever you support for the nomination for 2028, I'm going to support somebody else.

The groypers are supporting Thomas Massie I hear.

Another thing about it.
Weve seen him cave under pressure in the spotlight before.
You watch the press corps giggle and fake laugh at his cheesy jokes, clearly being told to be nice to him, for now.
As soon as theyre told to flip that switch we will see old mumblin stumblin little marco from the 16' primary.

I worked at Sky News Australia for 7 years. These people are snake oil salesman and are just catering to MIGA retards who make them money by watching their YouTube channel.
They fired the only people who supported Trump in 2016 and we were all ridiculed as they were all Hillary supporters behind the camera.
It's one of the largest YouTube news channels in the world

Rubio is 100% tied to Trump's neocon flip last 15 month, which tells me Trump was lying and planning this shift all along by putting someone like Rubio at the SOS position. I suspected it could mean that but now there's no "maybe" about it.
JD has been benched during this fiasco and hopefully he can distance himself. Rubio can ride the interventionalist neocon brand that worked so well for Republicans since 2008./s

That worked for Bill Clinton. As long as Hillary let him frick anybody he wanted, he would do whatever she told him.

No way would I or my lineage vote for a reader. America needs leadership not some "get along" guy who knows how to read and speak spanish.
Gang of 8 membership easily cancels him out. Besides, he will have to resign by year end.

Just think of the PR optics of JD flipping on Trump in the primary. From Never Trumper to all in on the MAGA/AF platform to being against MAGA/AF again. He would be right to call out the interventionalist policies, but it makes him look more wish-washy and ineffective that he couldn't influence Trump more than Rubio could.

Everyone knows that dog won't hunt. It won't be easy for Rubio to shake all of the stink off, but his messaging is a lot cleaner on it than Vance's can be assuming Iran doesn't turn into all out boondoggle.

It's more of an understanding that JD Vance will have little to no draw from independents. It isn't that Rubio is an amazing candidate...it is that Vance will be a terrible one.

And you got that conclusion from where? Whatever makes you assume he has this appeal to "independents"?
I noted that you ducked replying whether you support Rubio or not.

Well...being one, gives me a little insight.

It depends on who would be running against him. Being independent, one has the freedom to vote for the person they feel like will do the best job, rather than joining lock-step into whatever a party chooses.
Would I support Rubio over Vance? Yes
Would I support Rubio over a better Republican Candidate? No
Would I support Rubio over a bad Democratic Candidate? Yes
Would I support Rubio over a better Democratic Candidate? It would have to be significantly better (i.e. a non-leftist candidate, which they don't seem to be able to find these days).

That insightful sample size of 1. I was a registered independent prior to 2022 and I can't stand Rubio or his record. So your insight doesn't even carry an anecdotal weight.
Democrats are unable to produce anything non-establishment that will put working American families first.
If it's Rubio vs. any Democrat I'm probably just going to vote 3rd option that's closest to my beliefs. I won't cast a vote for that neocon whore.
