Yeah, I honestly think he just hates what the Republican Party has become and wants to stand up and say that's not who he is.
I don't think he's aiming for power, and I don't think he's cynically trying to manipulate anyone. I think he just straight doesn't fukk with Trumpism and is one of the few Republicans with the guts to say so openly. That doesn't mean the shyt he does support are great principles, but at least he rejected one worst-case scenario.
dude 75 and already shot his shot, breh is just ensuring he's remembered as a man of true conservative principles, not tea party/trump/qanon wacko alt rightism
Nah it’s still fukk em. It doesn’t get rid of all the other bullshyt he’s been voting for currently.This and I actually respect him for it
He’s literally McCain without the military service.i think he knows he will never be president.
he is rich as fukk and probably just prefers being considered "respectable" and not hated as much as mitch when he goes out in public or some shyt.
fukk him and every republican politician alive tho
His infamous Russia warning gives him fair clout too. You can see Rubio trying to style himself more like a Romney lowkeyMy guess is he's trying to model a path for "non insane" Republicans, he's the only one who has learned the policy lessons of the Trump admin, everyone else even the populist icons are reverting to the Paul Ryan era but he's tried to provide a "third way"
Mormonism and money does wonders for the dudeDidn't realize he was that old
I think if Trump runs again, he runs for President. If Trump doesn't run again, he runs for re-election in Utah
He STILL wants to be President. There are some Republicans positioning themselvers as the "rational set" but they can't figure out how to get through the nomination process.
They're all hoping there's going to be some grand reawakening where someone fukks up so bad REpublicans are shamed into turning away from Trump. But, it'll never happen. The GOP unleashed a tiger they had by the tail, nothing they can do to put that cat back in the cage.
