who that is, I have no idea. Rubio was set to be a lifer, so a change gives us a modicum of hope.

I dont like appointing Senators for the most crucial cabinet positions, tho. Rather, put them agencies like Interior, Energy, Education, Commerce or Transportation. That way, if they f up, it doesnt matter as much.

Is it all because the Magat boomers went there to retire? A couple of other southern states went blue or even purple, yet how is that state so ignorantly red?

I guess there really isn't a bright side, though.

the Larry Stooge to be Secretary of State. Curly Stooge will probably be selected by Moe Stooge to the the Secretary of Defense assuming Vladimir Putin doesn't select his Moscow dining partner, General Flynn.

None of these dregs of humanity are worthy of anything other than a lengthy prison sentence, especially the waste of flesh that's appointing them. But, what better way to reach their goal of destroying the US Government than to fill it with the most useless, incompetent sacks of shit in existence?

I can't think of a single significant thing he has done as a Senator.

I wouldn't be surprised if DeSantis didn't appoint a place-holder Senator so that he can run for it.
