    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.
