I’ll believe it when Trump confirms it and not before.

Trump does not desire an echo chamber. He wants a wider range of opinions. Rubio is close enough. Trump doesn’t need litmus tests, loyalty is the important consideration, Rubio’s not stupid he won’t a game for himself.. It also is a confirmation position, the shaky Senate will not be an issue. You can’t make every single position a battle royale with the corrupt Senate.

I don’t blame you, but it sure beats the people he had the first go around.

I just call ‘em like I see ‘em. He was the republican establishment pick for President for 2024. I hope he doesn’t mess this up with a never-Trump appointment that’s all.

Rubio has been pretty good for the last few years.

I certainly hope there are some plans to rectify our Latin America policy, and make sure we keep the Russians and ChiComs out. And yes, freeing Cuba is something that needs to be done. 60+ years is enough.

I am not so worried knowing most likely it will be Vance in 2028.

We’ll see how it turns out.

One thing’s for sure, beyond the slightest hint of a shadow of a doubt:

Trump’s worst pick will be less bad than the least bad Harris pick. We dodged (metaphorical) saturation nuclear bombing by defeating that < expletive deleted >.

I just saw his exploits a few short years ago. Seemed pretty establishment. He was trying to take out Trump for crissakes.

“the first Latino to serve as America’s top diplomat”

Rubio is under the microscope.

Recognize that? Truce brother. I’m a little sensitive with PDJT criticism at this moment. Sorry.

Interesting. Maybe one of the considerations is that since many of the ilegals are from Latin America, it’s good to tap someone who speak their language. Also, with families from Cuban, he is quite anti communist.
