Time is now for Trump to pick Rubio for VP
Posted on 05/03/2016 6:58:48 PM PDT by MagillaX
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.

‘Natural born’ US citizenship comes from US citizen parents. No act of Congress or subverting appointed/elected judge can give or take. ‘Natural born’ US citizenship is akin to a birthright.

Since no one else has mentioned him yet, I’ll nominate Lt. Col. Allen west.
Army veteran, war hero and former congressman until the GOPe redistricted him out of office.

Agreed! I find it apalling that so many voters completely ignore the Constitution.

I’ve been hoping for a Trump/Cruz ticket myself from the get-go. But, we’ll see.

Rubio makes the most sense. Gotta have Florida. How about Allen West? He didn't join the amnesty crowd the moment he was elected on a Tea Party platform.

I have this feeling that Carson could be his VP. Not sure though. He was one of those mentioned by Trump tonight.
