    It warms my heart that Vance and Rubio are considered the frontrunners. They’ve got the collective charisma of a semen-soaked sofa, which is to say that Rubio has none at all.

      Vance has the stage presence of a wet paper bag. But Rubio has honed his craft since the 2016 water sipping days. He’s much better at flinging out the red meat in a way liberals blink past but reactionaries salivate over.

      Rubio will be banging the “Liberate Cuba” drum for all he’s worth. Just like with Iran/Israel and China/Japan, half the Dems will clap when he announces plans for the next war.

        Rubio is not going to get it either,. You know who would get it, who could take it, would be rfk, if it wasn’t for his voice impediment.

          Rubio is not going to get it either,

          He was a favorite among the billionaire class in 2016 and a close ally of the Bush neocon wing. Thiel loves him. Bezos loves him. The Ukraine Hawks love him. Israel Hawks love him. Neoliberals think he’s a guy they can do business with.

          Look at his Senate confirmation vote. 99-0, with even Sanders showing up for him. If Trump implodes in 2026, he’ll quickly become the corporate approved replacement.

          I’m not saying that means he’ll win. But absent a Trumpian figure in opposition, he’ll be the Bush/McCain/Romney style candidate that Republican insiders have historically loved.

      Wrong. Rubio has a lot of charisma. The issue with Rubio is he sold his soul for power and you can feel the ick imminating from him.

      Now couchfucker has no charisma.
