That would be an interesting pairing, to offer the VP slot to Rubio, thus going over the head of the #NeverTrump crowd (and to a large part, the Republican Establishment), and sort of short-circuiting the Cruz strategy.
Playing the bank shots and the combinations on the pool table. Makes one hell of a hustle after pranking around and acting as if a wrist were broken in the early rounds of the match.
Playing the set-up for the long game.
You're right. Eight years of Trump, then eight years of Rubio. I could live with that. Anyone but a socialist dem. Plus the latino vote will be higher in eight years. We have to stop the socialism/communism that has infected the nation. It affects everything, the culture, ethics, morality, . . you could go on and on. We need a reset and restore.
The problem for Rubio is that he likely knows very well that the GOP establishment will go all-in for Hillary in the general election...Trump and his running mate will be running against the establishment of BOTH parties, who will put up all the money they can raise from the big money donors of both parties against them. Rubio does not strike me as a courageous type...he’s thrown his lot in with the big money establishment thus far, don’t think we will see him in revolutionary garb.
In the general, both parties go to the wall against Trump, because he is a huge threat to their closed two-party oligarchy. Loss of Control of the government structure they’ve both built could destroy them both.
