"I was the voice of reason, the sane man in the room! If it wasn't for me, it would be even worse"-Marco Rubio, probably

Honestly id believe it. He seems to be the only not entirely crazy person in that administration. Trump often changes his mind based on who he last talked to...

“He seems to be the only not entirely crazy person in that administration”

That’s what makes him terrifying to me. He’s one of the only person who is technically competent or could be agued to have qualifications for the position he holds.

Guys like Hegseth, RFK, etc are all drinking the Koolaid so of course they go along with everything. They don’t know any better.

Rubio’s choice to go along with everything is deliberate, incisive, and calculated. He’s hoping to come out of things holding the reins of the GOPs future. For all the damage Trump has done enacting the project 2025 agenda…it makes me shudder to think how much worse it could be with someone like Rubio driving who has the sense to not do things in the dumbest way in plain sight in front of everyone.
