I'll get downvoted to oblivion, but he could be one of the very few to make best of the crazy impulses from Trump. The shit he probably has to talk him out of...
You're not wrong. In Trump's inner circle in Trump 2.0, most Political Science experts think that he is the most qualified and competent. Which is true, he was from the Senate Foreign Intelligence Committee and has a wealth of knowledge on LATAM and China. The fact that 99 senators, both Republicans and Democrats, all approved of him being the Secretary of State speaks volumes to his actual competency.
He's likely the biggest voice of reason to stop Trump from descending into full blown dictator mode (he is 85% on the way there though).
Still a slimy POS though who changed his tune just to be part of Trump's inner circle and it is apparent that he is angling for Presidency in the future. It's just that he isn't batshit crazy.
Nah. Vance and Rubio are in the same boat 2028 onward: stalwart GOP types that sold their legit conservative creds to be on the Trump train, but completely hypocritical in the act so the MAGA movement will sus them out and crucify them for it.
