Marco Rubio is set to be chosen as Donald Trump's Secretary of State. It's not official, and the reports say Trump could still change his mind. But the way things stand down, it's Rubio.

I know I'm expected to be "BOO, RINO, BAD," but Rubio was the first official I connected with, back when get was Florida's Speaker of the House and had "100 Innovative Ideas...," and was a keynote at the first CPAC I went to in 2009. The senator has also been stellar this year combating the media as an outspoken advocate for Trump and Trump's agenda. I think he's a good pick.

For a taste of what Secretary Rubio looks like being diplomatic, take you back to November 2023 and the return of Code Pink. They were nowhere to be found during Joe Biden's other wars. But once Jews were involved post-October 7, the progressive icons decided they needed to speak out against them. Scurring around the halls of Congress like rats or little children trying to get away from Joe Biden, a CodePinker confronted Marco Rubio about calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.

Rubio made sure they were filming.

"I want [Israel] to destroy every element of Hamas they can get their hands on. Those people are vicious animals who did horrifying crimes. I hope you guys post that."

But Marco Rubio, what about the civilians? Won't you think about the civilians?

"I blame Hamas. Hamas should stop hiding behind civilians and putting civilians in the way. Hamas knew that this was going to lead to this so Hamas has to stop building their military institutions underneath hospitals."

Should we bother asking about the children?

"I think it's terrible, and I think Hamas is 100% to blame. That's what I think. Make sure you post that please."

Some are complaining about Rubio being the choice because "neocon" and "forever wars" and "place buzzwords here." Here's the thing with Trump's cabinet picks. He's gonna pick whoever he's going to pick regardless of where they land on the RINO-to-MAGA scale, and they're gonna get confirmed without issue.

The test will be whether or not Trump keeps them if they don't perform. I'm not worried about Marco Rubio.
