What is it with everybody wanting VP picks after only 3 states have voted in the Primary?
If body language is any consideration, I think he has already asked Nikki Haley to be his Veep.
They think it’s a way for the Rockefellers to consolidate against Trump.
Time and patience.
So retrograde.
Time and patience.
So the cabana Boy and crazy uncle Johnny should team up?
What could possibly go wrong?
Caveat: I am firmly, emphatically anti-Trump; I believe a Trump nomination would be disastrous for conservatism regardless of the outcome in November. My first choice was Walker, but I have always liked Cruz and Rubio; Cruz was my first choice after Walker dropped out.
That said, I now see Rubio as the only plausible candidate to defeat Trump, so I now support him for the nomination, despite his flaws. I find Kasich to be basically useless, but if I were advising Rubio, I would tell him to offer Kasich the VP slot, simply as a means of removing him from the race and consolidating the anti-Trump vote. I have no desire to see Kasich as the VP, but I’ll take Kasich as VP over Trump as the nominee in a heartbeat.
I would also like to see Rubio offer Cruz a seat on the Supreme Court. Unlike the Kasich situation, I actually *want* Cruz on the court; I think he would make an extraordinary justice. And I think it’s a better “prize” than the VP slot; a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court at age 45 would be hard to turn down, if Cruz were to believe that Rubio had a decent shot at being elected (which I do believe he would, if Cruz and Kasich dropped out).
I don’t know how to get Carson to drop out; he’s kind of in his own little world.
I’ll probably get flamed a bit for the Kasich thing - I don’t like him any more than you do, but I see stopping Trump as an absolute necessity, and desperate times call for desperate measures.
Also - before you flame me as a typical establishment guy or something like that, note my FR signup date and my posting history. My problem with Trump is that he is **not a conservative**. Being an asshole and a bully is not a virtue; “fighting” is not a virtue if the bully is not on our side, and Trump is not on our side.
I swear
Sabato is more butthurt than Doris Kearns Goodwin over the Trump ascendancy
Vote Rubio, hope you like living in Mexico FOREVER!!!!
Good lord, you're an idiot. Trump is lying to you about building a wall and about immigration. He'll turn on you the minute he gets the nomination, if not before (actually he kind of already has).
He finished second. Trump may yet win the nomination (in which case I'll change my voter registration to "no party" and vote third party in the general election), but Rubio is the only candidate with any chance at all to stop him if the field consolidates. I wish Cruz had a chance too, but he just doesn't have the growth potential; too many of the voters who consider Cruz their second choice are supporting Trump. Maybe if Trump's support collapses somehow, but the dolts still supporting him seem pretty committed to their personality cult.
Think what you will, and go ahead and vote Rubio Trump does not need your vote!!!
He certainly won't get it. I prefer conservatives.
I will bet you 100 Trillion Dollars that neither Rubio nor Kasich nor Rubioch nor Kasio will stop a single abortion in the United States.
I am quite sure Trump supporters think YOU are the DOLT!!!! Quite frankly we are quite FED UP with ALL of you elite know it alls calling us STUPID!!
We are quite frankly fed up with ALL OF YOU and your damned candidate!! Stick a sock in it I HAVE HAD ENOUGH !!! Yes I am DAMNED ANGRY!!!!
Rubio's problem against Hillry is that he is NOT eligible to hold the office of president.... NO way Hillry is going to let a Cuban anchor baby have what she believes she is entitled to have. You have a war of entitlement with these two...
See how you do what you accuse others of doing - being... 'dolts' 'personality cult'? I do not know who will win the nomination... I look at all the pieces of the puzzle... Hillry has a record and one that means the mass media is going to be on her side... I highly suspect Rubio is even on her gaydar.
They’re stuck on stupid and have terminal TDS.
