I can’t imagine DT picking Rubio after the things he said about him, but if he did pick a GOPe candidate, the trumpies would just explain it away like they do everything else he does. He is so brilliant, in their eyes, that he would be able to transform a formerly hated GOPe person into a beloved trumpish icon.
oh I would give anything for it to happen just to see how they’d explain it away/forgive it/or have their heads explode. Because they have exalted the GOPe to this enormous bogeyman, such that it has no practical meaning. To have their messiah name one of those hated GOPe-ers will give them a stroke.
