I can’t think of why Vance was chosen over Rubio. Unless Rubio is busy with other tasks. But Vance is one thing Rubio is not: a former Marine.

I think Rubio is immersed in the Cuba negotiations.

Yes, this.

Future President JD brings a show of strength and high-level authority.

I believe that sending JD was a good idea, as it shows the whacko mullahs (as well as our alleged allies) the importance of the moment.

I think Rubio has a better chance in 2028.

My assessment of Marco Rubio is that he is a TV character who is actually one of the dumbest people on the national Republican political scene.

Also, JD has a strong personal friendship with Don Jr. I think Rubio has outperformed and JD has yet to show what he can do. This is his chance to do so.
