Why would he pick Cruz? Trump will carry Texas no matter what. He needs to secure Florida or Ohio and Rubio speaks the best Spanish of any of the field. Hillary is going to pick Castro (who is practicing his Spanish). A female would be a good pick but, other than the Governor of New Mexico (who also speaks Spanish but would bring a small state) I don’t think that one is out there and he didn’t exactly connect with the Governor of South Carolina (which he could carry anyway.)
