And I think Rubio's star is rising.

And I think it's tied to the war in Iran that the country's been put through a stress test internationally.

And Rubio has probably handled it better than J.D.

Vance has handled it.

I don't think he was fine in the press room.

He joked with the press.

He answered a question in Spanish.

It was good.

I'm being snarky when I talk about his suit.

But so the argument for Rubio is that and here's the main argument.

He can win MAGA voters because he's done enough to shore up his bona fides with Donald Trump.

But he can also win non MAGA voters and Democrats.

J.D.

Vance in a way that J.D.

Vance can.

There's a group called Deep Root Analytics as a GOP polling firm.

They've looked at this and they've shown that more non-MAGA voters would never vote for Vance than would never vote for Rubio.

So Rubio's star in Washington, D.C., a little bit quietly on the rise as he flies off to meet the pope.

That's going to be a fun trip for him because Donald Trump again trashed the pope this week.

What do you think?
