Most well known politicians who become cabinet officers do little good for their political careers, usually it being a large step towards being a man of yesteryear. Rubio is a great exception as Secretary of State. He has become a great favorite of most of the American people, with the meme coverage being done fondly. He will be President one day at this rate.

Marco Rubio will be President one day. I pray
I was not impressed with Rubio as a presidential candidate in 2016. I found his earlier Gang of Eight participation an act of betrayal. In fact, I still do. However, his performance as Secretary of State has been stellar. Barring any future change for the worse, this would be a fitting atonement.
Does this make him presidential timber? Perhaps. I’m not completely convinced. But it does merit serious consideration.
