Rubio’s campaign won’t go very far. He’s probably just in it with the hope of being Jeb’s running mate.

He’s running to dilute the opposition to Jeb’s coronation.

Rubio cannot be Jeb’s running mate because they are both from the same state.

Why would you need two Hispanics on the ticket?

I for one am glad he is getting in to the race. He has a great American story that needs to be told. He might also make a very good President. Definitely a solid VP pick because he can probably carry Florida. For sure the party wants him in the mix just for such reasons. Please start slamming Hill ASAP!

He's in bed with Romney....going after the Mormon vote. Before his family moved he had been Baptized a Mormon. After the move they returned to the Catholic faith. Probably a pay back for supporting Romney in his former run.

Can’t be if they’re from the same state.

"Rubio's campaign won't go very far. He's probably just in it with the hope of being Jeb's running mate."

The Twelfth Amendment makes it difficult for both the presidential and vice presidential candidates to be from the same state when that state has a large number of Electoral college votes.
