He's the best we've got but would he make the sacrifice?

Trump has generational wealth but Rubio only has generational wealth potential in the private sector. Rubio is one of the few in the administration that has avoided the stink and his value in private sector is unlimited. Would be one hell of a sacrifice. I would love to see it but expect DeSantis will get the nod and he would be a good choice - Florida track record is solid and he seems scandel free.

I wonder if that makes him a more suitable candidate -- the left can't squeal about him being an "old, rich, white guy" quite so much.

I'm not going to bet against this. Nope.

Agreed. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out and if the top players play along.

He would be my choice X100. Vance would be in the position of having to separate him himself from Trump, but not too much, or incur his wrath. So, it would be much easier for Marco to secure his own autonomy. Plus, he just flat out is a better candidate, and more importantly, a better leader and executive
But part of me still hates to see Ron DeSantis being relegated to the back burner. Again.
I think he would be almost as good as choice as Rubio.

I have liked the thought for quite some time now. He has really developed into a much stronger speaker with much more confidence in himself.

Like Trump I will listen when Marco has something to say. Vance and DeSantis just doesn’t leave me with a good feeling when they talk.

Wonder if Jim Jordan is ready for a VP position.

Rubio/Jordan 2028!!!

I'm a Floridian and I like DeSantis, but he stepped out of line thinking he was gonna run against Trump and got his shit pushed in, that didnt really go his way. I also think that Rubio would crush him on the debate stage. But with that said, I think these two are the only options. Vance is smoked. And I just dont like him.

I am not really against the idea. Because he has been great the last few years in his positions. But in his earlier years he was not good. That sticks in my mind.

People evolve. Most of them.

I get it, some revert back as well. That's all.

Rubio has more experience in dealing with the rest of the world than Vance or DeSantis, so I am in agreement that he would be the best bet to negotiate on behalf of the USA against the rest of the world.

Would it mean him resigning now?

I can’t imagine he would need to resign now, better to stay in the public view and bolster his bona fides.

Not to worry, as soon as the Media and the Left feel they've sufficiently diminished/tarnished/demonized (destroyed?) JD Vance, they'll move on the hating Marco Rubio just as much as Vance, and ANY other Republican.

No, not until if and when he formally declares his candidacy.
That wouldn't be until at least mid-2027.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

If he can keep his resolve, he could be the best President since Washington/Jefferson.

I still think Trump's got that spot.

My absolute hope is that Rubio runs in 2028. He has become masterful with his judgment and communication, and I believe he is the best choice.
