The race to determine who will be Donald Trump's running mate this November took a major step forward last week with the acceleration of vetting multiple potential candidates, but political insiders with deep knowledge of presidential campaigns say there is one possible name on the former president's shortlist Democrats "fear" the most.

Dems still wanted to toss out Texas's EV
Whomever Fox and the Murdoch’s are pushing should be ignored and realized for what it is, trying to undermine the Trump agenda. Big NO to Rubio.
My VP list is very short:
- Michael Flynn
- Mrs. Alito
- JD Vance
So Paul Ryan’s Fox News is in favor of Rubio. That right there tells you all you need to know about Rubio.
No thanks.
The NBC requirement through neglect has devolved to the following definition, which clearly has no basis in law, but because of the thing you just said being the most common sentiment, the definition is completely resistant to being strengthened (rendered appropriately exclusive):
Natural Born Citizen of the United States (by the way, for this weak definition you can thank Mark Levin for his foolish support of Cubamerinadian Ted Cruz for the Pubbie Party’s 2020 nominee for POTUS):
Anyone born anywhere in the known universe to any parents whatsoever OTHER THAN born overseas to two non-U.S. citizen parents.
And even that exclusionary ending phrase is under pressure these days.
Don’t throw mw in the briar patch...iow Rubio is the left’s choice.
wasn’t he born in Canada, with a cuban father?
wasn’t he born in Canada, with a cuban father?
“Yeah, but his father liked American baseball so it should be OK.”
This is something you’d expect from the water-muddying anti-birthers.
I agree with you.
As is my understanding Obama did not fit that definition. He was President for 8 years. If you are to deny someone else that has the Obama type lineage you’ll need the courts to rule. So as I said. Either the courts rule that Obama was illegal (because anyone denied would surely bring it to court and use Obama as Precedent) or it’s legal. That’s how the Republic works. So I guess if you are foe the Republic you’ve got to let this go through the courts.
Notwithstanding their substituting Gavin Newscum as Biden's "unfortunate" withdrawal/demise, he's gonna step in and has Mexifornia as a shoe-in for votes from Illegals.
Obama’s mother was a U.S. citizen and, so, Obama met the parameters of the cited (watered down) definition.
In effect, the watered-down definition reliably excludes Schwarzenegger types, and ONLY Schwarzenegger types.
Presuming This Guy and you are otherwise basically sympatico in terms of conservative Pubbie politics, we’re just going to have to disagree on whether or not to sit still on whether the presence of foreign spice at birth in our POTUS candidates is acceptable.
Rubio was obviously infused with some measure of foreign spice at birth.
Hence he’s not a plain vanilla U.S. American.
Standard disclaimers apply: Yes, vanilla mostly comes from Mexico. And no, race is not a part of this equation (it’s what’s inside that counts).
I knew it was a NeoCon ZOG type before clicking and of course it was.
He doesn’t speak fluent Spanish. Ted Cruz lit him up in the debate a few years back by challenging him in Spanish. RUBIO could not engage.
NO ONE’S AFRAID OF RUBIO!!!
I don’t think he can chose Rubio. They both live in the same state.
Story: Democrats want Rubio to be Trump’s running mate.
But I am of the opinion the IC thinks they can control Trump in a second term. Since Rubio is palatable to them and speaks well on TV, he is a likely choice. The Left’s freak-outs mean nothing if the IC gives a ticket the thumbs-up.
