re: Newsmax Poll Has Rubio WAY Out Front of the Field for '28

quote:

---

Ossoff is Jewish and he has stated publicly that he is against defunding the police and abolishing ICE. Not sure the Dems can stomach that, but if they can, he will be very formidable.

---

Ossoff is the new moderate candidate, taking the place of Shapiro and Whitmer. If the DEMs are smart and use DSA as a foil and push back to the center, the GOP better pay attention.

The timing of this massive recession that's been brewing for years will probably play the biggest role. If it happens where we're in the shite in 2028, the DEMs probably won't need a moderate candidate. If it happens after 2028, then the GOP is much stronger. Or if somehow it happens right now and things are hot in Q3 2028, then the GOP has a shot, but that timing isn't likely.

I am not knocking DeSantis as last man standing with Cruz. DeSanris had an amendment on the fla ballot, or Rs would have lost.

DeSantis passing a hate bill signed in Israel...making free Palestine protesting a crime.

While understandable in the moment or not...And he and Gov Kim's federal 6-week abortion ban, when abortion is closed as states rights.

CERTAINLY rules out the bern massie bros support, no?

They aren’t going to excite folks like Trump did,

Oh for fricks sake

This board will laugh at Massie running but he will sink Republicans if he runs as an independent.

Republicans already have a massive uphill climb in 28 but Massie running as an independent would kill any chance. Can he win? No, but he can and would pull a lot of those young voters who didn’t show up a week ago that the Republicans need in a general election.

This is obviously a very early and informal poll, but Rubio is essentially lapping the field at this point. JD Vance shot himself in the dick with his disloyalty to our President.

There is a paradox in Presidential elections regarding the primary process. A succesful candidate has to run hard to the policy that will win the base in the primary and then move back to the middle in the general election.

Rubio would have more difficulty winning the primary than winning the general. He opens up a huge demographic in latino voters. If he and Trump topple Cuba he is the front runner across all candidates.

There are more than a few folks here who are absolutely incapable of grasping this.

Agreed what the GOP needs ahead of 2028 is more foreign regime change and Cubans floating to America again.

Rubio’s brother in law is an immigrant cocaine dealer from Cuba. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

When he got out Rubio wrote letters of recommendation to get his drug dealing immigrant brother in law a realtor’s license.

There is going to be no appetite for a war happy neo-con with familial ties to immigrant drug traffickers in 2028.

Rubio will get stomped. It’s DeSantis or someone else for 2028.
