Obviously, when there's talk of a '172 plan,' the logical inference is that it has to do with Rubio as he has 172 delegates. It's highly likely that those 172 would be enough to get Trump to 1,237. And it's true that Rubio (1) hasn't endorsed Cruz; and (2) could certainly use the VP gig as he'll be out of work in January 2017.

The problem is that it's hard to imagine Rubio swallowing his pride and accepting an offer from Trump after everything that happened between the two in the weeks leading up to Florida. After all of the 'little Marco' stuff, all the bad blood... Rubio would essentially establish himself as someone with zero self-respect if here were to subordinate himself to Trump. Now, some may argue that Ben Carson set a precedent for this, but (1) Ben Carson is not a politician who necessarily has to concern himself with future viability; and (2) Carson for unknown reasons never seemed to take personally Trump's 'pathological' jabs.

Marco Rubio has always been a whore. It was predicted by the savvy people at Hillaryis44 (now a Trump website, eschewing Hillary!) that Rubio is particularly vulnerable to selling out in directions we want him to.

Rubio has 173.

‘172’ Plan:

1. Trump offers Rubio the GM position at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa.

7. Trump guarantees 7 years of free tuition for each of Rubio’s 4 kids.

2. Trump promises a lifetime supply of 2” shoe risers for lil Marco.
