Will the nominee be JD Vance or Marco Rubio in 2028? > General Discussion > AR15.COM
An online discussion on AR15.COM considers whether JD Vance or Marco Rubio would be the Republican nominee in the 2028 presidential election. Participants express preferences, suggesting Vance's stronger appeal to the MAGA base and potential success in primaries, while Rubio is viewed as a more competent and centrist candidate who could appeal in general elections. The choice may depend on the political climate and public sentiment closer to the election.

| I'd prefer Rubio as he is a low key highly competent executive from his time so far in this admin but competent policy wonks don't do well in big elections. Vance I think beats him in a primary because he has shown he's good in presidential races and has a better following with the MAGA crowd. I think it depends on the state of the nation. If the economy is screaming hot then there might not be a pendelum swing/backlash against MAGA candidates then Vance would be the clear favorite for our side. If the electorate has soured on the continued insanity of a Trump Light presidency then it'd be better to have Rubio as a calming centrist to pose against the Democrat's inevitable lunatic. |
