Trump expected to tap Marco Rubio for secretary of state

www.reuters.com Trump expected to tap Marco Rubio for secretary of state

Rubio was arguably the most hawkish option on Trump's shortlist and he has in years past advocated for a muscular foreign policy with respect to America's geopolitical foes, including China, Iran and Cuba.

Trump expected to tap Marco Rubio

Can't help but read this as "trump fucks marco rubio"
- How do you think he got the job?
  
  That's what I was implying.
Hmm, how do I say this without getting downvoted all to hell?

I think this is actually a decent pick. Rubio is fairly moderate for a Republican. His parents emigrated from Cuba, so he likely has at least some respect for the blight of immigrants. He presents well intentioned and intelligent. He’ll probably actually read his briefings.

Secretary of State had formerly been a springboard for higher office. Perhaps he would actually bring a smidge of sanity back to the GOP. This country deserves functional bipartisanship.

Probably not, but one could hope.
- I would agree.....but he's working under Trump. The second that Rubio is "too moderate" he's going to ask Rubio to resign.
- blight of immigrants
  
  Can't tell if typo or . . .
  
  From the rest of the post, I'm pretty sure they meant "plight."
Executive Assistant of State.

One of our nation's top doormats! Hope you learned how to drink water on camera without looking like a psycho, Little Marco.
