Very interesting. I truly don't like Rubio, but for this I applaud him and I hope others jump on board. If Rubio doesn't succeed, I wonder how McConnell will punish him?

Rubio calls for delay in Senate GOP leadership elections, in apparent swipe at McConnell

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is calling for Senate Republicans to delay their leadership elections, as more members of the party's conference in the Senate appear to be bucking Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

"The Senate GOP leadership vote next week should be postponed," Rubio tweeted Friday. "First we need to make sure that those who want to lead us are genuinely committed to fighting for the priorities & values of the working Americans (of every background) who gave us big wins in states like #Florida."...............

I'm not so sure what to think.  Has Rubio changed or did he get a taste of what McConnell is really like this past election?

McConnell would have been gone in 2014 had not some NY real estate mogul stepped up and stroked him a fat check to save him from being primaried.  Many here have been pointing this out for eight years now.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

...hmm... ok.... I have the feeling that Marco is going to run in '24.  He's pandering to the conservative base for the votes that he didn't get even to win his own state.  Just my opinion.  However, once a RINO always a RINO.  I don't trust him, nor do I think he could win the nomination. Not a chance.

Sen. Rubio: 'A New Republican Party' Is One That Fights for 'Working Class Values'

Sen. Marco Rubio, one of the Republicans who easily won re-election in bright red Florida, was asked Thursday night what lessons can be learned from Florida's Republican domination.

Rubio described the "old Republican Party" as one that "probably can win some elections from time to time in a few places if the conditions are right."

"A new Republican party can compete among anyone anywhere," Rubio told Fox News's Laura Ingraham:

    "The new Republican Party is a party that should be grounded in common sense and wisdom. It should be fighting for working class values, it should be putting the interests of Americans first.

    "The best thing I said this election night, the best thing we can do for the world is make America as strong as possible. That's the best thing we can do for the world. And unfortunately we have many people in both parties, particularly the Democratic Party, that are constantly telling us that before we care about Americans, we have to take care of people that want to come here illegally, we have to care about what deal they're going to cut at the U.N. Climate scam.............
