Would Rubio get all of the Hispanics to vote R? I'd like to see that just for the lulz. But he does have a bit of a neocon streak that needs to go.

Rubio is still a neocon. No thanks.


Mind expanding that into a normal opinion so us simple folk can understand?

he is only as strong as those who are behind him.

Look close, he never showed real strength in the debates, ues he is better now but he is only better because Trump is pulling hos strings, now. It wont take long before the deap state gets their teeth back in him.

He wants to be like Trump but he does not have the personal fortitude to do it on his own.

I'd prefer him over Vance. We'll see how it turns out. I would think Vance gets the nomination. I can't see anyone on the democratic side he loses to. At this point it's a coin flip between Vance and Rubio. I'd prefer Rubio but it's very early

People need to stop tripping over themselves rushing to the Rubio camp just because he made one good speech. Rubio might be my #3 choice, but he's never governed anything. No military experience either.

DeSantis is not only the best governor of any state NOW, but he's the best governor I can think of at all (certainly in the past 50 years).

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is lashing out against Rubio's recent speech at the Munich Security Conference where he stated that the US and Europe are part of a civilization bloc forged by Christian faith, culture, heritage, ancestry and shared history.

If that alone isn't a reason for me to vote for him...being diplomatic, earnest and wise is sufficient. He would be my choice over anyone that I've heard mentioned so far.

How?

I like JD but what has he accomplished? Besides a bunch of interviews.

Don’t look up JD’s connection to Peter Thiel if you hate political whores!

Those aren't even my main issues with him. It's his senate run and how fast he shite on the people who got him elected as soon as he got to DC.

I love listening to JD and Rubio, but I cant escape the fact that I've fallen in love with smooth talking republicans in the past who haven't done a whole lot. I have to go with accomplishments. As much as I hate to throw chum to the retards, my pick is Ron.

At least Vance is a relative unknown in this regard. We've already seen smooth talking Rubio do a 180 once he got to DC.

Still think it’s Vance, but Rubio has been impressive, that last speech was Reaganesque..,

He has been a loyal stooge and can deliver a staff written speech without embarrassing himself too much. Beyond that he has no vision or weight to attract enough voters…

He is doing a great job but he is a career politician.

I think Rubio has a better chance that Vance because sitting VPs rarely win.

I'm not questioning his political chops. Clinton and Obama had those as well.

Same. I trust Rubio more than I trust "it's not even my real name" Vance.

And that's after I remember how hard Rubio fought against Trump's agenda in the 2016 primaries. He's been a team player ever since he bowed out of that race.
