Iowa is Rubio Country

Why isn't this is real life. Loving this TL when a competent Republican defeats Hillary and the world moves on.

Tell me about it.

I would've been like, dream come true. This is what I'm talking about.

Wow.

The slightest difference in Iowa and Rubio would've been POTUS today easily.

Even though Cruz won Iowa, he suspended his campaign the same day as in this hypothetical IRL!

And when I saw Rubio would face Sanders, I was like, "why Sanders over Biden?"

LOL, Rubio would also be the 45th President at 45 years of age.

Nikki Haley would also be 44, giving the Rubio/Haley ticket the record for the successful Presidential ticket with the youngest combined ages (The previous holder was, or IRL still is, Clinton/Gore, who were 46 and 44, respectively.)

However, Haley turned 45 on Inauguration Day. I wasn’t thinking about that. So I’m not sure.

What could Rubio have done to win the Iowa caucus that he did not IRL anyway?

The real second Republican debate results for 2024 are making me wish even more that this were the real timeline.

But instead, they opted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 and it looks like he’s going to be the first Republican in history to be nominated three times in a row and he broke the record for the oldest President the first time, to wait for his record to be broken just four years later by Joe Biden, and now it looks like we’re going to have a rematch of 2020 that involves an 82-year old incumbent and 78-year old criminal former President! I don’t know what’s gotten into the American people!

Could you imagine a Presidents Play Wordle series where Marco Rubio plays Wordle with Barack Obama? (and possibly George W. Bush)

In reality, we have Donald Trump calling Joe Biden these names and saying how much pain he's on track of suffering.

This includes saying Biden is old, and Obama constantly tells Trump to stop calling people old, as he was born in 1946.

This is why I've preferred Rubio to him, as well as candidates like Haley and DeSantis.

Maybe in this hypothetical, we will have a President Haley, and Obama, Rubio, and Haley will play Wordle together.

I also find it to be a good possibility that Rubio and Haley would take Wordle more seriously than Trump and Biden.

As an example, Biden will guess Africa as a country, then Trump will guess Europe as a country.

Trump and Biden will also make up words. Biden may choose “icecream” or “tunasalad” as the word, Trump may choose “bmob” which is bomb spelled backwards. Trump’s said a lot that the word is either bomb or nuke.
