In this thread, after this post let's see if mentions or references to trump can be avoided. I know that's going to severely limit what some people can say or even think, but let's try, OK?

Here's the contrast we are faced with. Go ahead and watch them both. I promise your computer will not explode. If it does because you clicked on the links, prove it and I will buy you a new one.

Both were at the same conference addressing the same issues. You may just say it's a good day for one of them, a bad day for the other. But both are supposedly front line candidates for the presidency from their respective parties. Which one would you rather be elected President? I mean really... Be honest.

Marco Rubio or Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

AOC is only 36, and she is not ready to run for President yet. And I don't think anyone wants her to be the frontrunner for 2028 regardless of what that biased guy on X says. At this way-too-early stage my favorites for the nomination are Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.

So, you automatically dismiss everything Rubio said? Not a word about it. That says a lot in itself.

I think the big difference between the two is that AOC believes what she says. About six years ago, Rubio send a letter to Hungary expressing concerns about how he thought Viktor Orban (look him up) was getting to be too tyrannical. Today, he endorsed the guy for reelection in the country, something of an unusual step for a sitting Secretary of State do.

(Also, not really clearly in our interest. Orban has gone out of his way to act as a pro Russian voice in the European Union.)

So post any speech of his that you want. He will change his mind based on when it’s convenient.

Do you have any examples of her turning around and saying something else when it’s politically convenient?
