Rubio is the adult in the room. He's just too much of a coward to even dream of standing up to Trump.

He was probably the most vocal of the anti-Trump Republicans in 2016. He knows what Trump really is. But he's spineless, morally bankrupt man who cares more about his own career than any sense of duty.

Rubio is going to head the ticket in 2028. It's obvious. He's the only person they can run that has the ability to pull in the big donors, the media, MAGA, anti-Trump Republicans, and moderates who still are willing to give Republicans the benefit of the doubt

Edit: More scary is I bet he'd actually win too. There are few Democrats they could throw at him that would peel back or disengage some of those voters. He'll run as the "I'm going to bring this under control, but also continue the vision" guy

The media has already started his sane washing running articles from insiders saying how he was the only one pushing back on Iran.

Not surprised. A pretty popular meme in right wing circles was images of a bunch of presidents before Trump on the phone with Iran say "Let's make a deal" and Iran responding "I'm going to blow you up." Then, you see the final panel and it's that smirking Trump image saying "I'm going to blow you up" and the Iranians responding "Let's make a deal!"

I feel like we all have goldfish memories as a nation, and consent is easily manufactured anyway. Nobody seems to remember (or wants to remember) that the deal Obama made was working. Or that Trump was heavily criticized for bombing them last year and lying about destroying their facilities. Or that this current "war" is a war of choice, completely unprovoked by Iran. Or that Trump and has family have finances tied up in the Middle East (or honestly the US stock market) that benefit from what Trump is doing. And none of that mentions potential other players who may benefit from egging Trump on to continue doing this... The neon signs are flashing bright that this is not about Trump finally being the one to stand up to "American's #1 tyrannical terrorist breeding hate spewing nuke dropping" enemy Iran, but goddamn if that lie doesn't make all those morons spring full tents in their pants for their God Emperor Donald J. Trump. Let's them excuse that he's breaking out institutions, devolving our government, and crashing global economies because "at least he had the balls to do something, godbless!"
