Fingers crossed!

Please be a euphemism
If I were a betting man, I’d be wagering that he’s gonna jump ship and start working on his 2028 campaign pitch
Someone's gonna have some big shoes to fill.

Can't wait for the mass wave of Republicans "I knew he was bad the whole time and never supported him" history rewrite 🙂
I'd like it better if he was on suicide watch.
Go ahead. Your career is over either way. Might as well get a head start on your memoirs or whatever these slobs do.
Looking at it analytically: It’s probably republicans “best shot” at keeping 2028 but I think everyone on that party and admin know it’s a lame duck + uphill battle. Don’t waste a promising candidate now. Rebuild and come back later.
My personal opinion is this is awesome. If Rubio is the best they can do we’re in for another blue bloodbath. It’s also an indictment on how much everyone is done with this shit.
Still remember sweaty response to the state of the Union Rubio. Anyone else?
Let’s dispel this notion that Marco Rubio doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing
I kinda don't understand this one.
Rubio hasn't been directly involved with the worse disaster, Iran, and was seemingly positioning himself to be Viceroy of South America and the Carribean, which certainly doesn't bother Republicans. He is adhering to the traditional US policy of regime-change following the CIA playbook; he doesn't have the staggering improvisational incompetence of Hegseth. He really hasn't done anything "wrong" relative to the rest of this abberant administration; heck, he doesn't even seem that pro-Israel and was the first public official to implicate Israel as the tail wagging the dog in Iran. Maybe that's why they want to get rid of him?
He has been all in on trump, to the point of nausea. His ICE views are horrific. I think this last election has proven that r's need a new set of people behind them. Rubio sucks ass.
so that leaves DeSatan in '28 :(
Desantis stole from medicare through his wife's charity, I doubt he's going to be prez.
To a Republican that just shows you're a good businessman. Rick Scott committed the largest Medicare fraud in history, it was public knowledge, and then he got elected governor of Florida. Now he's a senator. It's like a precondition to run for office as a Republican you need to be a criminal
I don’t know, pretty sure he had a hand in the indiscriminate destruction/drone striking of all those “drug smuggling” vessels in the Caribbean. Pretty sure there was another one today.
Agreed, but Hegseth was more directly in charge of those, (reportedly ordering a double-tap to kill survivors--civil suit coming to a court near you) and, again, this isn't about Rule of Law but embarassing the regime--and killing civilans in SA is nothing out of the ordinary for the US.
The look on Rubio's face during the first Zelenesky white house meeting (the "have you even said thank you?!" one) was priceless.

Conservatives are definitely beating the drum for Rubio now that they can see that Vance is going down with the ship. He's been a favorite to run in 2028 for a little while now.
He is ssoooo lame and rizzless.
True. But he does have more charisma than Vance lol
Yes, but I thought the same of donnie and the yokels fucking loooove him.
I think you misread that. He wants to resign to start his bid for president for all the reasons you just gave.
lol they're going to find someone to be the fall guy and they dont' care who it is, or how justified. or even justified at all. it should be nauseatingly apparent by now that trump can point his geriatric finger at anyone and say "______ is his/her fault," and now that person is the new RINO/traitor/satan, and it doesn't matter what anyone says-- that person is done for
I don’t know who is going to be satisfied by this burnt offering.
maga will, 100%
also, just to be clear: fuck rubio. if he's suffering, then i'm glad
Rubio is the Secretary of State, he cannot escape being tied to Trump's foreign policy disasters; foreign policy is the main job of his office.
He is 100% Israel first for rule over America. The slip of "we had to attack Iran, as our last best chance, because Israel was going to" was just normal US policy stance.
It's more a case of rats leaving the sinking ship than them wanting to get rid of him.
Just resignation? If he wants any redemption, he'll need to go much further than that.
Conservatives are biologically unable to experience shame, so we know he will never do the right thing and get off our planet.
Ach, wee Marco, is he truly presidential material?
I remember when all the "serious" pundits in the Murc's Law media were insistent Jeb was gonna win the 2016 primaries...and then the completely unqualified and inexperienced donnie won, so who the fuck knows who the absolutely brainless among us will end up choosing for their R candidate...I mean, at least Marco has experience and he's not nearly as stupid as donnie. He's a total neocon so the people on the right that supposedly profess to be against wars are going to have to square that circle.
Not that the right wing are even the least bit coherent, beyond coddling the rich and racism, xenophobia, misogyny, etc.
Who the fuck would vote for this asshole?
The only adult in the room? Makes sense that he should go.
How in the world has Rubio been "the only adult in the room"? You cannot be for real right now.
I guess y'all are already trying to launder his image? Are those the new marching orders? Launder Rubio's name and try to distance him from the literal war crimes that he ordered and/or oversaw?
He's one of the few "defeat realists" regarding Iran war, and only reliable 2nd vote for 25th amendment. Impossible to get a Zionazi crony to be the next consecutive Zionazxi secretary of state approved by Senate. But its good for Cuba/Venezuela, which seems like his only job.
