I think Rubio is a very good speaker-articulate and intelligent. He’s young, qualified and energetic. He would soften the edges and be a compliment to Trump, which is what you need for a VP. Trump/Rubio great ticket!

I third the nomination of Jeff Sessions.

One problem with Sessions is he lacks executive experience.  He's a policy wonk and lawyer.

I think much of what we've seen and attributed to the Cruz campaign, is actually GOPe forces running on autopilot. Cruz is the beneficiary, and I assume there is communications between "local grassroots activists" (the small time party hacks) and the Cruz campaign, but the #NeverTrump sentiment is widespread and needs what it feels is a productive outlet.

The local grassroots activists aren't likely to be looking at the big picture, and "every delegate counts."

Rubio carried the vote by a plurality in GA’s 6th Congressional District back in the March primary here. FWIW

“The problem for the country is Open-Borders-Rubio is more unethical than Cruz, and you can’t change a person’s character; especially a politician’s character.”

You HAVE got to be a Cruz cultist to make such an outlandish statement as that. Your boy toy is presently working to deny the will of the people and steal the nomination through highly unethical ways. Cruz has cheated throughout the entire process from Iowa on with dirty tricks, lies, distortions and downright stealing of delegates. And you think Rubio is unethical? Boy, you are completely twisted.

“Agreed, and yet I think Rubio is less dangerous ... he knows he’s unethical - or rather - a-ethical. Cruz is deeply hypnotized by the illusion of his own moral goodness, therefore, he never reflects, sees no need to. There actually IS no morality without reflection. Rubio knows what he is, and he’s OK with it. Cruz has zero idea who he is, but he has a deep belief in his illusion of what he is. He is lost in his-self.

The road to hell is more often paved by lack of self knowledge (usually of the original sin kind) than it is by intentional malfeasance. Rubio’s evil is petty and harmless compared to Cruz.”

That was incredibly insightful, thanks for posting that!

I’m a strong Trump supporter. Cruz’ actions are almost criminal. Does that clear things up?

I agree mostly with your well reasoned comments. When I first saw/heard Rubio I was extremely impressed, not so much now for obvious reasons.

Some of my family like Rubio, too. I’m mystified by it.

Trump will get anyone he wants and doesn’t need Rubes’s delegates.

He should take his time. Sessions is good, but we need him in the senate and he is, well, older.

Senior Amnesty? No thanks! If Trump put him in charge of building the wall, Rubio would use illegals and it would fall down.

Rubio had stars in his eyes when he arrived in the Senate. Since he got his a$$ handed to him, I think he has learned not to take wooden nickels from Democrats.

Wait...the establishment beginning to align themselves behind Trump?

When reports of the establishment aligning behind Cruz...Cruz was automatically labeled the establishment candidate.

So, does this make Trump the establishment candidate?

They are setting both Cruz and Trump up for a jap. Watch and see.

I think Trump will reach West for a running mate.

I think you're right.

Trump/Rubio

Rubio is an empty suit and a prima dona who thought that he was too good to show up to the Senate. He's despised in his own state and would bring absolutely nothing to the table.

What Trump needs as a running mate is a policy wonk who knows the inside and out of the House or Senate from experience, but without a bloated ego of his own. The exact opposite of Rubio, in other words.

Even the dull Kasich would be a better pick.

One of my family members really likes Rubio.

Why??? I could never for the life of me understand all of the hype behind this guy and how he became the Golden Boy of the GOP. Reminds me of all the hype around another non-entity junior Senator, only from the Democratic Party, in the early 2000's.

i so wish i had bookmarked it.... sorry. it was one of the million 2ndDiv anti-Trump threads.. about two weeks ago i believe. i never posted on it .. i don’t recall any Trump supporters posting on it. it was all about how genius Cruz was strategizing with the RNC/GOP, maybe after the Colorado non-voting fiasco...

i just remember lmao over this Trump pigeon .. the visual was/is awesome..... The bird looks a little like Gen Patton to me.. snicker... and you know how hard it is to get off bird shit once it dries, it always leaves a mark....... chuckle..
