I don’t think that Rubio is really running for President. I think he’s running for VP. Same thing with Jindal too, imho. It’ll be interesting to see how they behave during the campaign.
Oh, I forgot about Jindal. I would place him near Rubio on the list (near the bottom, but still in consideration)
But, yes, I agree, I think Jindal and Rubio are both running for the VP slot.
I think you’re right. Politically, he’s in the right place. Gain prominence by running for prez and settle for VP if it gets down to that. Even if the ticket loses, he becomes a viable national figure in the process. Win-win all around for him.
