Rubio could be a stellar candidate. Experienced legislatively, knows the dangers of the enemy here and abroad, polished speaker.
Honestly—does not need a billionaire sugar daddy like Vance needs to climb the ladder of success.
Repubs have a strong bench and much is attributed to our POTUS. A strong leader that is best complemented with a follow on with the likes of a Rubio.

Honestly—does not need a billionaire sugar daddy like Vance needs to climb the ladder of success. You can’t be serious. Rubio has worked in government his entire life. His “billionaire sugar daddy” has been the taxpayers who pay his salary and the corporate interests who are his real employers.

Hegpeth needs a better tailor. He always looks like he buys suits off the rack that are one size too small.

you don’t have to be female to notice that.
whether that’s a look that’s appealing to the general public is another matter.
my personal order of presidents is the veep and then rubio. its a jump ball after that.

Rubio is the obvious choice. He’ll win too.

Hegseth has found his niche, and it’s just right. And also slim enough to fit in the commanders port on the Abrams tank.
