Rubio would get the VP nomination and either the #2 spot in a Trump win, or a bigger claim for 2020 if he runs a decent campaign.

Trump is 69, he might be a one-termer, Rubio's in his mid-40s, waiting eight years is nothing for him.

Rubio also wrote off the Senate seat, so that is not an issue. He is from the right state, MIGHT help with some female voters. He'll be allowed to dissent from Trump as long as he does it "nicely" and certainly not as head of the Senate. Finally, the GOP find him to be more palatable than most other options on the table.

Rubio's earlier digs at Trump were mostly of the late-nigh TV show variety, and don't lend themselves to commercials ("In fact, Trump's OWN VP, Marco Rubio says that Trump Sweats a lot and has small hands! We can't afford a president with small hands.Vote Hillary Rodham Clinton."

It's the obvious move.
