relevant? He knows he has few political skills outside of the dumbed down state of Florida.
We continue to elect pitiful human beings for the Senate. Seems like it would be a perfect fit.

Which I don't think he's going to be anyway. Trump 2.0 cabinet positions will be just like 1.0. We'll be counting Scaramuccis!

Trump had no idea who to trust in 2016 and relied on the Republican Party for information on appointees. Many of them later famously butted heads with Trump for pushing back against his crazy ideas.

He will not make that mistake again. He has taken over the GOP and has made it clear that all political appointees will be tried and true Trump loyalists.

He'll handle the official policy, which will be ignored, Trump and his inner circle of friends and family will collect the bribes and make out with the dictators. Rubio will stay in because he lacks the spine to say something about it.

He's term limited after 2026. Appointing himself, or resigning and haven the Lt. Governor appoint him, would give him a leg up as the incumbent in the 2026 special election and the 2028 regular election.

Rubio will be Tillersoned within a year max imo.

This is a ploy to get someone else into that Senate seat solely -its going to be a toady like DeSantis unless Trump goes full nepo and it goes to Ivanka
