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.
Little Marco??? I don’t think so.
(As much as I hate to admit she’s right) Coulter, on Hannity today, said Trump needs someone as strong on illegal immigration as he is, or the establishment will try to impeach him.
Rubio makes the most sense. Gotta have Florida. Not sure though if the “Little Marco” comments help.
Rubio is deader than Cruz.
Loser!!!!
I agree. Rubio would be a good vp pick.
Marco Rubio is not a Natural Born Citizen. His parents were not Americans when he was born. Give it up!
I bet he picks Kasich, he needs Ohio, a North Eastern anyone will not help him since he is a North Easterner and will have a hard time in that part of the liberal country.
I would love it if Trump picked Marco. Maybe that would open some eyes here that Trump is going to sell out conservatives like old shoes.
It will be a woman.
He might as well shoot himself in the head tonight as choose a GOPe VP.
Choose someone they hate even more.
Donald Trump was pro-amnesty as well - all the way up until June 2015. He blasted Romney for being too tough on immigration and blamed that partially for his loss and urged the GOP to adopt comprehensive immigration reform to improve its standing with Hispanics.
You forgot to post the link to this “NEWS” story.
We want NEWT!!!!!!!
no
As VP, she’d be fine. But being a heartbeat away from the presidency, too green.
I think he’ll go with Chris Christie, because he’s a fighter.
Yeah. Trump really struggled in the south, didnt he?
Rubio brings nothing to the ticket and his delegates aren't needed any longer.
Trump will win Florida without him. But he needs to win Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
Not saying he WON'T offer Rubio the VP slot but Rubio doesn't help Trump in the areas he needs to win.
I don't see the logic.
Why?
You want Penis Envy as a VP?
Well of course! He did so well in Florida, after all... /s
Little marco?
LOL
Trump us already smoothing the waters with cruz
I will stay home if rubio is picked.
