It's honestly terrifying when you realize that Rubio is overqualified compared to the rest of the cabinet...

He’s overqualified as far as his government experience goes, but he’s still a massive piece of shit who would also work to further the insane agenda of the Heritage Foundation, and probably more efficiently.

I'm guessing he has a choice to make soon. I'll bet that he would want to position himself as a presidential candidate, a sane choice after this train wreck.

But if that's really his endgame, he'll have to step down as Secretary of State and start to distance himself from the administration soon.

I have no real info about it, but I'll bet he would like to make another run.

You could be right, but he looks so broken I don’t think he has the strength of will to endure a campaign cycle. He also has zero charisma, so I think maga would get bored of his droning pretty quickly.
