Marco Rubio
@marcorubio
Biden’s cabinet picks went to Ivy League schools,have strong resumes,attend all the right conferences & will be polite & orderly caretakers of America’s decline

I support American greatness

And I have no interest in returning to the “normal” that left us dependent on China

Alejandro Mayorkas went to Berkeley and then Loyola for law school.

Linda Thomas-Greenfield went to Louisiana State and then Wisconsin for law school.

Avril Haines went to University of Chicago and then Georgetown for law school.

So they all didn't go to Ivy League schools.

What they do show is a gradual progression in areas of expertise that relate to their nominated positions. A far cry from the horror show of the last four years.

So it's no surprise they are poor choices to run it. Sort of like electing a fox to rule the hen house.

They're touted like geniuses and their academic "credentials" are thrown in everyone's faces.

The old Republican double standard. What's good for us, is bad for others.

Plus, all that "elite" school bashing is rote.

for several weeks now. The ones pre-election made any rational person think the person making the tweet comment was endorsing Biden. Now this bizarre stuff about qualified people being the "caretakers of America's decline"? This shit makes no sense. And he damn well knows what the trade war with China did to prices of common goods in Florida.

He would rather America declined through internal illness and fighting? He would rather we declined d/t our own stupidity and ignorance? This man is a US Senator? I know some of them are crazy, but he's really going of the deep end with these sentiments? Weird and a lot scary. It just makes no sense.

Republicans don't have that burden.

Most Republicans couldn't find Florida on a map of Florida.
