[mouse1] The last thing I want is "MR Gang of 8" Marco Rubio one heart beat away from the presidency
Trump needs Cruz on the ticket to reconcile the base, the conservatives who are not fooled by Rubio's belated pretend-conservative positions.
Trump, if nominated, must not make the mistake Ronald Reagan made when he did his deal with Bush 41 to reconcile the Big Money. Bush got big patronage and used it to put his people in key positions and basically take over the Reagan Administration, isolating and competitively (NOT cooperating) freezing the Reaganauts out of policy and administration.
George Bush did a creeping coup d' etat within the Reagan Administration, to the extent that Ronnie's second term was basically Bush's first -- and the People knew it. The Reagan Administration at the end was overrun by the nasty Chamber types who have been hanging around Yeb!, and if Trump goes with Rubio, those same faces are going to show up around Rubio (like, Karl Rove, for instance) and crawl all over Trump's act, turning it into a fourth Bush term (fifth, counting Reagan's second).
Rubio isn't a monster on the invasion of the US, that tag belongs to Jeb and Kasich. Rubio wants a solution and is coming around to realize that nothing changes until the border is secure and people trust the gov to keep out illegals.
How do you know that Trump is not a pretend-conservative, considering his track record?
Would love Trump/Cruz ticket or Cruz/Trump. Either way I’m ok....but no Rubio!!
