Urban myth.
Neither the Constitution nor the Electoral College prevents a presidential candidate from picking a fellow-state resident or any candidate from his same state as a Veep running-mate.
Again, there is NO law or regulation preventing a P & VP ticket consisting of two individuals from the same state.

I'm for Cruz but Rubio may have stronger citizenship cred in that a lot of citizens had parents as legal immigrants without the anchor baby tag. Rubio's parents were legal immigrants and their children (born in the USA) are US citizens. My grandparents immigrated from Europe and there was never any question about my mother's (born in the USA) citizenship. Assigning Rubio as an anchor baby when his parents were legal immigrants is disingenuous.
Why isn’t he attacking Hillary?
SHE has no class.
Remember that Trump is heading to the border today. He is going to bring a great deal forward that those pushing amnesty and the media they control do not want we crazies to know.
He fearlessly is seeking out the truth and exposing it. If some candidates are uncomfortable with that it’s their problem. They won’t fight the facts but are going after messenger whose message is also exposing them
Rubio is at 1%...care to prove that?
Rooooooobio made everyone think he was all in with the tea party and as politicians who are caught in a honey trap will do the bidding of their handlers.
Tell me, it has been mentioned several times before...
Who is my guy, genius?
My point is that Rubio’s parents were foreign nationals, not US citizens, at the time of his birth. Whether they were in the country legally or not is a non-issue. They owed allegiance to Cuba. If little Marco was born before they had time to become US Citizens, that’s just too bad.
Ole jebber is my bet.
LOL...
Wow, then you haven’t been paying attention. Why doesn’t that surprise me?
try again, sherlock...you’ll get it soon.
There are a great many of us that can't trace our heritage on both sides to the Mayflower. If you can great. People born in the US to legal immigrants whether they have become citizens or not are unquestionably citizens. Knowing the law is important. "If(paraphrasing a Mark Twain quote) you don't know the law It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
Trump does give a down to earth speech. Not unlike Palin. He does use the word “hell” a lot, though. Needs to vary that.
Remember how many threads had a count of the times Obummer used the word “I”? How about doing a comparison to Trump? Did Reagan use the word “I” in every other sentence?
How about those who poke at Trump’s hair? There sure is a lot of hypocrisy out there.
Nothing stealth about Rubberio if you pay attention.
He’s still for
“Comprehensively Screwing Americans Out Of Their Country”
LOL..
There is, but if Trump is the man you say he is, then it shouldn’t bother him, right? Nor, should be stoop to their level.
FU Marco...you are so stupid you actually thought Chuckie Scmuckie Schumer was a good man to “work with”. Idiot. You got played.
I'll withhold my opinion and let the MSM do their job in destroying them..........
IMO pandering to the illegal/non US citizen is classless.
As predicted, the MSM is throwing out the feed and letting us devour ourselves.............LOL!
When was the last time you ever heard the term "The Maverick" John McCain?..........
Answer: After eight straight years under the Bush administration, it was the night before he lost the 2008 presidential election........No Mas Maverick!
With all due respect to your point, in years past, I would write Trump off. But, this is no ordinary election. The future of our country is at stake, and we have not had in the past 2 election cycles, a candidate who was willing or able to take it to the opposition. So, we ended up with a dictator in the WH. This cycle is different, and we need someone who fights back. No more Mr. Nice Guy, no more taking the high road - how has that worked out for us? It hasn’t. So, if people want to attack Trump - they better expect to get it back, because Americans are fed up with the nice guy routine.
