Rubio received every RINO vote during nomination. Waltz is gone and Rubio takes his place. Very interesting move by POTUS Trump.

Meanwhile, POLITICO and NYT rave about Rubio. Please, do not fall for it.

I agree. I’m super surprised. I thought he was a RINO but damn...he’s delivering so far.

Rubio’s a politician.

We need non-politician Patriots to run the show especially from the White House.

Where’s Vivek?

We’re expected to forget his work with Juan McCain and the Gang of Eight a few decades ago?

I don’t think so.

Rubio is doing his jobs excellently.

Until he stabs President Trump in the back (if he ever does) leave him alone.

Just because Rubio is respected within and beyond MAGA, that’s a bad thing? Obviously Marco is rehearsing for 2028. If he screws up or plays the fall guy, he’s finished like Madam Benghazi Clinton.
What has he accomplished? He’s stood toe to toe with the MSM. He’s articulated his bosses priorities and policies, even though he may not see eye to eye 100 pct. If you want Trump for another term, change the constitution and give him a magic youth elixar. Otherwise, thank your lucky stars for Marco,, JD, etc
(hey for the bashers, remember Tillotson? Pompeo?)

I’d urge a different sort of caution.

1) Rubio has not only been on the MAGA side, but IN FRONT of most of this, slapping down Green Screen Zelensky, telling the Euros to shove it, explaining that this ain’t the pro-war GOP anymore.
2) His consistency and skill have led Trump to trust him. Translation: if you want to advance in Trumpworld, be MAGA, be out front, and never screw him.
3) I think there is a major element of this that Trump had ALREADY PLANNED, namely the continued consolidation of government, terminating various offices and positions, etc. I think part of the NSA role Rubio was handed is in line with Trump’s original realignment to get rid of that position and fold it in with SoS. I do look for someone else to be “archivist.” (I might raise my hand at that position, though the only job in D.C. I really want is on Trump’s Library Committee, and I think I could really be of help there).

Naw, Rubio has been put in charge of what is basically a couple of unneeded eliminated positions.

No big deal.

I still remember anti-Rubio posts here decade ago, mainly because Rubio wanted to give amnesty to children brought to United States by their illegal parents.

DampRid TV Spot, ‘Get Rid of the DAAAMP!’

In Ribio’s case it would be DAAAm

He stinks

I had my doubts about Rubio, but have been very pleasantly surprised so far.
