“Why not Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee?”
I read the Wikipedia articles on the female US senators and she seemed to be the best choice from the US Senate.
However, the Republicans can’t risk losing even one House or Senate seat. Remember Sessions and the loss of the Alabama Senate seat.
Perhaps a highly articulate Hispanic Republican female from a swing state legislature? I’d start a search in Texas.
I agree, which is why I'm surprised at seeing Rubio on the list. But, as long as Rubio was being floated I figured why not Blackburn, too?
I'm NOT surprised if the LAAP-dog media plays up the Rubio pick.
At least both picks are safe replacements. Still, Rubio from Florida puts Florida's 29 Electoral College votes at risk for the VP. Picking Rubio might lead to a split Trump/Harris administration if the election is close unless Trump can establish a residency somewhere else (but I think he really wants Mar-a-Lago to be his home).
That would be an avoidable "own goal" unless Trump picks someone else not from Florida.
