Marco Rubio????????????
We can safely ignore any of this speculation - even if it comes from his own mouth.
Think about it - he has zero motivation to narrow down his options. He’s being pestered about it constantly - and he has to say something.
Really, dropping “clues” every couple days is a great way to keep the news cycle about him - but why on earth would he narrow down his choices?
If I were him, I’d be looking for someone - not to balance the ticket - not to appease his base - not to appease the Christian Right - not even to carry on his MAGA movement. All those considerations are fine - but missing the point:
He needs a VP who the deep state hates even more than they hate him. Otherwise, they will kill him day one.
I know he’s thinking about this.
A double-billionaire, old, white guy ticket?
Or Rubio or Scott or Vance?
Yuck!
It’s all theater anyway, unfortunately. But Vance would be the least bad of these options, I suppose.
“Bloomberg reported...”
As far as anyone needs to read, really.
But Tim Scott?
Lee Zeldin, from New York, would be the best VP choice, IMHO. JD Vance should remain as a U.S. Senator, and Doug Burgum should remain as a governor. Plus, Burgum looks too much like Dracula, which would be a noticeable negative distraction. Rubio is a RINO from Florida, so what’s up with this pick? Tim Scott is a safe but boring pick. None of these four mentioned VP possibilities would help Trump in gaining many undecided voters and in gaining the total womens’ vote. The total womens’ vote has gone against the GOP way too many times, and it seems like this will be the case, yet again!
I doubt its any of them. Especially not Rubio or Scott. Maybe Vance and Burgum are on the list but I’ve always heard it was Mike Flynn.
removing an R senator would be unwise, especially so long as Bernie the Red remains (more or less) vertical
Trump absolutely MUST pick a VP that will immediately take over the presidency if Trump is taken out by the Deep State.
That rules out Rubio, Scott, Gabbard or any host of lightweights. For this reason I think it should be General Flynn, someone who knows all the maneuvers and labyrinths of Washington DC.
This is fake news. And even if it were real, Trump is a long way away from making his announcement, so he could easily change his mind.
Bloomberg reported...
Bergum.
I posted this reply to another thread debating Trump’s VP pick.
<><><> According to Steve Bannon, who has skin in the game and is facing 4 months in prison for Contempt of Congress (for the Bannon haters about to reply) Boris Epshteyn, made mention to SB that the VP pick has been known in the Trump Camp for some time (6-12 months) and is NOT someone that has been on the radar... to date. YMMV <><><>

DeSantis or Rubio would be my pick.
Trump would have to move his residency to a New Jersey or New York property to make it work for 2024.
I would prefer that Trump choose a VP from the ranks of Successful business persons.
This country has more ECONOMIC problems than anything else.
Posted last week that the only thing surging in the election
was the betting on: Vance, Rubio and Burgum for GOP VP.
They all came in from enormous odds to being in the top five.
Scott has been the betting fav for quite a while at this point.
It will be interesting to see what happens.
Pity about Kristi. Her best employment opportunities are now, uh, elsewhere than elected office but something that would leverage her presence as a well-known person.
I still figure a woman. Figure = guessing lol
And I do not want a senator, ala Jeff Sessions.
Any pol can/will be untrustworthy but any given senator can be the worst, imo.
Rubio is from Florida…just another BS made up article to fill space. All speculation for clicks. They don’t even try to make this stuff believable.
Rubio and Scott? No thanks. I’ll stay home.
How does any of them help him get elected? Just saying...
