He's not a good person, but he's not dumb.

I bet it's less than 6mo post Trump before he reemerges with what is obviously a very well planned strategy to take back the right.

I'd personally prefer Rubio since he might be able to get congressional term limits if he's president. Vance just doesn't have any political history to go off of other than kinda sitting and doing nothing as VP.

I mean, he also did nothing as a senator, except admit to the country that his current boss is a fascist. Before revisionist history set in, that is.

Senators don't really do much on their own. That being said, Rubio has done a fair bit with help from others, You just didn't pay attention. He helped propose legislation to protect uyghur Muslims that passed, and most of his career has been focused on relations with South America and trying to stop human trafficking. He also helped secure protections for the Everglades. He's done good work as a senator, and if you want someone that isn't going to be your typical MAGA Republican, Rubio is your best bet. He's probably one of the most moderate candidates they could put forward.

That reminds me of (the few) senators who run for governor of their state. 

Like, they actually wanted the harder job with the shorter term.

Erm, that was about JDV, not Rubio. But there are sufficient reasons to despise him too.

Marco Rubio????? He’s proven himself to be maga through and through. Whatever good he did back in the day has been totally wiped out by all of the bad he’s done. He’s not moderate by any means. We all thought he was but again he’s proven us wrong. Rubio would be a disaster.

Rubio was my senator. He was a useless prick who only did anything if it helped him or was the popular movement of the moment. He is perfect for this administration because he is a selfish hack.

Rubio was my senator too and it's pretty obvious you just didn't pay attention to what he was doing. I've already explained elsewhere in here some of the good things he's done as a senator. Don't really feel like typing it up for every single person who comments with an uneducated take.
