The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

With the MAGA wave in 2016, a temporary but huge blow was dealt to the Establishment and NeoCon Republicans. The Google Jockey Republicans. Etc.

I thought between that and his bad performance Marco Rubio who at one time had great promise - was toast vis a vis Presidential future.

And while NOBODY knows if this term will be popular or a quagmire, Secretary Rubio is now back in play and I feel he's cunning enough to play his hand right.

He's already a darling of the Establishment, and the Israeli Mule Warmonger NeoCons. And I think they understand that publicly he wont lick their boots as much as he used to.

He can also tow the MAGA line.

And in 4 years, he's youthful but with a few gray hairs. He might have - MIGHT have - some good things under his belt but main thing.........he can credibly straddle the MAGA and the Establishment camps.

Marco can get another turn at bat.
