would give him much more national visibility---

and the people of Florida are probably growing weary of him--
they SHOULD be, when they can no longer afford to insure their homes....

If he has any 2028 hopes remaining,
I think he would be better positioned as Secretary of Defense,
than as a Senator from Florida--- presuming he didn't fuck it up beyond all recognition
(but I presume he would think that he would be
"the greatest Secretary of Defense EVER" )
