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.
Yup, he’s a blocker for Bush, same as Graham and probably Huckabee, too. The RNC has almost perfected nominating the designated loser, see Romney and McCain.
Exactly.
Rubio cannot be Jebs running mate because they are both from the same state.
Good point, forgot that. I wonder whether they can get around this by having a residence in another state, as Cheney did in 2000.
Yes, he can. But Florida's electoral vote can't go to the pair.
LOL - here we go again.
Rubio has been rumored to be a future presidential candidate long before there was even any indication Jeb Bush would be interested in doing so. Having another popular candidate from the state of Florida to potentially allow another candidate to sneak in the back door and steal that state from Bush would be a pretty pitiful effort if he's there to help Jeb Bush.
