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.
Absolutely NO.
Maybe then Newt. Rubio is too much of an empty suit, failed to carry his own state and not a nbc
If it is believed that Christie will put New York and New Jersey into serious play... I would not be surprised.
If it is believed that Ben Carson would solidify even 5 percent of the black American vote... I would not be surprised.
If Jony Ernst, the GOPe female of the year, solidified a gain in female support by 10 percent... I would not be surprised.
If he went outside the box and chose Duncan Hunter in the belief that Hunter would pull California into contention... I would not be surprised.
WHO would bring legislative manipulation and control to his beck and call? Newt? Jeffords?
I don’t think we will know until after Hillary shoots her mouth of about donald’s “woman” problem, or his “minority” problem.
for all I know he could pick “silk” or “bobby knight”...
I would love to know. Maybe he could find a congress woman that Clintong diddled and threatened... THAT woman would be priceless as a counter to the woman problem and confront the clinton amoral threat.
Ozark Tom,
It would be a big mistake for the RNC to make it so obvious by selecting another candidate, either Cruz or Kasich, at the convention. You are talking about the possible 30 or so per cent of the conservative voters voting liberal because Trump won where you can expect a far more amount of voters, closer to 60% of the conservatives voting for Hilary in the general election because Trump was cheated of the popular vote in the primaries and that he more than doubled anyone else’s success there. My father used to call that “cutting off your nose to spite your face.”

Rubio is an Anchor Baby. Ineligible.
How can the Trump Justice Department try Soetoro for usurping the Presidency if the Vice President is ineligible?
although he was not my first choice I have no problem voting for Donald Trump. I will however not vote if he chooses Marco Rubio as a running mate
Trump will lose New York by 500,000 million votes and will pick someone who will help him with a battle line state like Ohio plus Kasich polls well against the Hidabeast
Trump fans need to brace themselves - his VP pick will be a YUGE disappointment, because he will be forced to choose an Establishment arch-Rino.
Good analysis.
Marco (amnesty pimp) Rubio brings absolutely nothing to the table. He couldn’t even win his own state of Florida.
Hope someone brings donuts!
LOL
Sarah Palin... It can only get more entertaining.
Seriously? I’m looking for a reason to vote for trump That would be a reason to sit this one out
RINO Rubio = Obama lite.
Indeed!
“Time is now for Trump to pick Rubio for VP”
Nothing could cause knots in my stomach like that sentence there just did!
I like Lil’ Marco right where he is, in a the state that brought him home from DC.
out everyone speculated so far, I don’t like anyone
Won’t the CEO of Yahoo be available soon?
Susan Martinez could impress ya but brings no delegates, but neither does Brewer.
