At this point pitting Rubio against Vance in 2028 is the recipe for the democrats to win.

Whichever side doesn't get the nomination will take their toys and sit home on election night. Conservatives shoot themselves in the dick every chance they get.

I really like what Rubio has done so far but don’t put any trust/faith in a politician because you will eventually be burned.

Conservatives love to lose so they can sit in the minority and complain about the government.

I guess that’s one way to look at it. From my perspective it’s much more of a case of conservatives loving to lose so they can boast of having superior “principles” to the next guy’s, and by God if you don’t agree with his principles then he’d just as well lose the whole thing. Because he does love that pat on the back for “standing on his principles,” which again, either you will agree with or he’ll tank it for everyone else. I guess that’s principle for ya.

ETA….And I ain’t getting down on you personally there, just a general bitch session.

I like Vance, but I don’t need an H1-B proponent in the WH.

I dunno about all that. But Rubio is a slam dunk. I hope things don't get messy between him and Vance.

I haven't seen a person who acts as presidential as Rubio in my lifetime.

Not really. We don't do identity, we do policy.

Republicans have made tremendous significant gains with black Americans. Not by carrying hot sauce in their purse, but simply showing under which platform they prosper beyond the plantation.

Hispanics, of the non-Illegal Alien type, are traditionally very conservative. And Hispanis who migrated legally hate those who are illegal.

Those in attendance gave Rubio a standing ovation.

Is it possible that those in charge are beginning to see the error in allowing a controlled invasion of third-world goat rapers and skinnies? I guess we'll see.

The left will point out that he leaned into his European ancestry harder than his indigenous ancestry. That's just what they do.

Rubio is a massive POS. Always has been. It's honestly disheartening to see so many people willfully forget what a jackass he is and pretend he should be president. He was on the Senate Intel Cmte and has ALWAYS been for government surveillance and violating rights. Always. The idea that he's reformed or something like that, is laughably stupid.

freedomindex gave him a lifetime score of 67%. That means he opposes freedom. Tuberville was 85% for reference. The man Republicans made Senate Majority Leader, Thune, 57%.

+100

Rubio is a sell out to various masters on every front.

As SoS (like all SoS) gives a nice speech he didn't write. The usual empty rhetoric and expected lip service "in support" of allies. The Cult goes in over-hype drive in unison, "HE SHOULD BE PRESIDENT!!"

The guy is one of the best reps for Isreal they've ever had. As as you noted, he's always been strongly pro-Statist, Big Gubmint/Authoritarian, Big Surveillance-Intel guy. Obvious Globalist and DS'er.

Exactly. The real "MAGA" Bros are relegated washing dishes in the back of the kitchen

We'll get a hybrid of Technocrats, AI Goobernance, and MIC up the wazoo in the near future (making now seem like the innocent 1950s.)

"MAGA" was nothing but phantom fantasies and protoplasmic idealism wrapped in WWE theatrics... It was always based on 80% charm and 20% rub of the Magic Genie's lamp.

Well yeah, that exact description is literally every single person in the triggering Trump administration according to y’all. You should’ve just saved yourself the trouble.

Is any of that description wrong or (partially right?)

Rubio is the subject of ridicule because YOU guys are the ones suddenly breathlessly fawning over him, ga-ga over a possible run in 2028 because of a simple scripted speech. Not us.
