First the reason the time now to pick Rubio is to beat Hillary to the punch with picking an hispanic.
Second reason why. It locks up almost all of the southern states.
Rubio did well in Virginia and will also help in Nevada. This leaves Ohio for Trump to win. It also helps him compete in Minnesota and New Mexico.
This will allow Trump to put resources in the some of the Northeast states making Hillary compete in states they would not normally compete in.
Some argue for a women to cancel out the woman card or a black American. The problem with this is they a are more traditional base for the Democrats and the numbers available to be moved for women are less than the numbers available to be moved with hispanics.
With black Americans Bernie Sanders is an example of trying to move the black vote and is difficult.
Rick Santorum is a much better fit with Trump’s message especially on immigration and trade. He helps with Christian voters and social conservatives, Trump’s weak spot. He helps in Pennsylvania and probably Ohio, since he’s from Pittsburgh, close to Ohio. Santorum came close to beating Romney in the Ohio primary.
Enter: Gov. Christopher James Christie, Trumps VP pick.
Come On Down!!
You said: “You have to build a coalition that includes registered democrats.”
Headshake, sigh.
No, you have to appeal to Americans, instead of bowing down to the ComDem POLs and Liars.
Expose all the traitors to the nation (in both parties), stop making excuses for the vermin. Then we can begin to heal the nation.
Santorum would be my favorite pick too, but I assume he is not under consideration.
Marco who lost his home state and is a Bushie at hear The?
No thanks
Mr. Trump needs to find an Hispanic, Chrislamist womyn of African-American descent, who is a divorced lesbian, single mom, who wears a burqua, speaks Yiddish, and uses a wheelchair. Being a Veteran would also help! Like Mr. Trump, she doesn’t really need any social conservative bona fides. (Just make sure that none of her relatives, or anyone who even re!otely looks like them, were ever photographed with Lee Harvey Oswald or John Hinckley Jr. and that BOTH her parents were born in the USA)
Mr. Trump then, could cover ALL his bases!
No no no no no no no no.!!!! IMO Rubio is a weak minded parrot with no principles and no scruples. PARROT. He memorizes with no conviction behind the words he speaks.
You’re the one who is trying to spread falsehoods. Noway, nohow does the Constitution and ALL OF THE CITIZENSHIP rulings of the supreme court change the fact that Marco Rubio is NOT a natural born citizen. In FACT, the constitution specifically EXCLUDES people like Rubio from being eligible.
Ha! That would drive the birther nuts batsh6t crazy!
Wrong. He does not need Ohio. He has Florida, Virginia, New York, etc. But the truth is...He will probably carry Ohio anyway with Kasich out of the way and that will happen soon. GOD Bless and have a good day. :-)
yuk...
Soctt Walker or Rick Scott
OR a good woman governor
The governor of New Mexico might be good
Jindhal is an anchor baby, Mia Love is an anchor baby. Ted Cruz is a Canadian.
The rest of the candidates appeared to be legit. Neither of the RATs are qualified.
“Santorum would be my favorite pick too, but I assume he is not under consideration.”
GOPe and a probable ineligible naturalized U.S. citizen
Trump doesn’t need a mini-me that lost a Senate election. Rubio would be a smarter puck for Trump. A wink and a nod to LaRaza and poke in the eye to his birther constituency. Lol.
Not the flippin’ postman’s son. Just say no.
Trump will not win New York.
I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there!
Some of us are sick of inexperienced freshman senators, really sick of them.
