What does this massacre mean for Vance and perhaps even Rubio?

I think we all thought one of them was a lock for the nomination.
But last night cannot be seen as anything but an extremely sharp rebuke of the current administration. Some will want to spit into the wind against that notion, but they are lying to themselves. Both of them are, of course, 2 of the highest ranking members of this administration that the public just flogged.
Two years is a long time, but anyone with a brain that wants to win in 2 years has to at least start to think outside of the administration, someone that is not directly associated with Trump. I don't know who that could be (and no, I do not think it is Ron Desantis).

Vance is toast. I think Rubio is talented and can get $ behind him to pose a threat.

Vance will turn on Trump and expose himself.

Vance is done.
Rubio is probably done.
GOP needs to distance itself as far away from Trump as possible.

Rubio is talented in many ways. Vance is not there yet. And because Vance became VP, that set the gears in motion for Sherrod Brown to return as senator in Ohio. Not Vance's fault but is the cause anyway.

Assuming Trump doesn't quit, get removed, or die and it's two more years of this garbage (no reason to think he'll start acting rationally now) then they're both sunk.
It has to be an outsider, DeSantis is probably the odds on favorite, but I'd take the field. Someone nobody knows right now....

Can’t have DeSantis.
He wears boots.

The GOP isn't moving forward until it jettisons Trump and the MAGA mouth breathing wing of the party.
Both are solid conservatives, but have to clear of Trump. I have said for years that Trump is not conservative.
Flame away.

Not good for either. Desantis will have a strong position
Posted on 11/4/26 at 8:36 am to Fun Bunch
Rubio will quit in the next six months in order to get some separation from the Trump administration. Just my opinion.
Vance is somewhat stuck.

Reactive stupidity is an overpowering force.
The same people gloating today with either forget that when they whine about what the democrats will do or else they will blame anything they do on Trump.
I cannot wait.

They're fricked. DeSantis would be a better option

Everyone knows how I feel about Desantis, but the MAGA wing, even at diminishing strength, is never going to vote for him enough to secure anything. They very stupidly still HATE him

Vance is benched for a long time.
Posted on 11/4/26 at 8:39 am to Fun Bunch
I think both of them are talented enough that given space and time they could have a chance
But they would need to resign just about now
I think last night was a repudiation against Trump, and maybe the defense secretary but not necessarily the entire administration

I think 2028 nomination will be a poisoned chalice. It would be narrow tight rope to walk for either Rubio or Vance to win. Only thing that could make them run is if DSA goes completely off the rails in the next 2 years. I'd bet it will be DeSantis. I think all will eye 2032.

Seriously. This board does not react well to adversity. Ready to throw out the entire bench. Completely retarded.

Frick them. Make them choose. DeSantis or AOC, for instance.

IMO, their political careers died last night. I don't see how either can distance themselves from Trump by '28.
