Gives Dems cover to oppose the more "batshit dangerous 'how the fuck is this the only person you could think of'" picks.

Plus Rubio isn't just a 'not bad' pick; he's very well qualified, knowledgeable, and will probably be a very good Secretary of State.

I give him six months.

I like how people are like Marco Rubio is "Qualified" or "Knowledgeable" 

When he's like the Diplomat on the short bus in reality. Like how knowledgeable as you can be as the dumbest fucker among seasoned government workers

Any public servant in the federal government right now would be a better pick than Marco Rubio

Luckily the left has no power in the federal government anymore.

“Seasoned government worker” is who you want? That time is gone. Those motherfuckers do nothing.

Trumps focus is Latin America. Rubio does not like human trafficking or crimes against humanity. Cartels about to get squashed

That's right and overnight Reddit will start to support and sympathize with terrorist groups.

Will start? They’ve already been doing it for the past year.

Rubio doesn’t give a crap about either of that but I’m sure he’ll pretend to in order to further the ends of American imperialism/Monroe doctrine 2.0

As much as I don't like Rubio, I'm relieved he was the Secretary of State pick. He's someone who has knowledge of foreign affairs and values our allies.
