Well the upside I  guess like others posted, he won't be able to cause trouble anymore in the Senate. I don't see him being very useful at State either.

   State has needed an enema for the longest time.  I don't see Rubio doing that.

I don't see Rubio in a positive light on anything.  He vowed to leave the Senate then when someone was vying for his seat (and I believe it was DeSantis) he decided he wanted to come back.  He's a RINO. I don't believe he can be trusted.  He's articulate and charismatic and fools people.  How can one look the other way at his involvement in the Gang of Eight?  As a reminder members were;  Sen. Michael Bennet, D-CO, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-IL, Sen. Jeff Flake, R-AZ, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, Sen. Bob Mendez, D-NJ, and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY -- and Marco.

I truly hope Trump selected him to get rid of him.

Upside is if Noem is at DHS she'll tell Rubio what he's gonna do anyway.

I can't find where Trump has confirmed this. Does anyone know something different?

I don't follow Rubio closely. I do remember the Gang of Eight episode. But wasn't he fairly young and new to the Senate? Possibly being courted by McCain (like it or not, he was pretty powerful)  or climbing the ladder to get better appointments? I don't like that the critters we elect do that but it's what they do. Or they wouldn't be politicians.

Maybe he's learned and might be fine in this position. Of course, I'm not from Fla. so I sure don't know.

Clearly from the 'leak' Trump wanted to test the water for Israel-first Rubio as Secretary of State. The water has spoken - 'MAGA' is appalled. So are you going with Israel's choice or the fragments of your credibility left by 'your' other picks.

If true, it proves one thing for sure! Trump is a VERY forgiving man.

   He has had plenty of time to drive a stake through the heart of this rumor. 
   I would think he'd announce it on his own platform ($$$$), as he did the first few.

Marco Rubio leak sparks pressure campaign for Trump to reconsider

.

Allies of President-elect Donald Trump are urging him to reconsider nominating Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) as secretary of state in a bid to boost former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell‘s chance at a Cabinet position.

Trump has yet to announce via a statement that Rubio is his selection for the top, in contrast to other figures such as Susie Wiles, incoming chief of staff, and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), incoming U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

That lack of public support from Trump has led Grenell’s allies to believe they still have some chance to change the president-elect’s mind.

However, some Republican operatives close to the campaign said Rubio’s selection is likely secured despite the pressure for another pick.

It’s now been 2 days since it was leaked to media that Rubio would be Secretary of State and Trump still has not publicly confirmed it

Safe to say this was not a leak of Trump’s choice

This was a leak to pressure Trump’s choice

Someone needs to be fired

Marco Rubio
@marcorubio
Leading the U.S. Department of State is a tremendous responsibility and I am honored by the trust President Trump has placed in me. As Secretary of State, I will work every day to carry out his foreign policy agenda. Under the leadership of President Trump we will deliver peace through strength and always put the interests of Americans and America above all else. I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the U.S. Senate so the President has his national security and foreign policy team in place when he takes office on January 20.

The lefties on X were deriding Lara Trump as just a "culinary school dropout." Turns out, she actually has a bachelors degree in addition to some culinary school training. Not that it matters; we all know people with no college whatsoever who are smarter than any Ivy Leaguer, and I certainly am not endorsing her for the appointment, but I had to laugh at the Dems' (oh-so-typical) dishonesty.

Don't forget she will have to be elected.   She probably will be.  but it is the hands of the voters.
