Smartest thing the r’s could do is run with Rubio.
There has only been two cases in history where a VP of a term limited president went on to win the election.
Honestly, with Rubio’s experience and status as a Cuban American minority he would be a much more formidable opponent to beat than JD.
I know the repugnant will do the stupid thing and nominate Vance
