Time is now for Trump to pick Rubio for VP

Posted on 05/03/2016 6:58:48 PM PDT by MagillaX

First the reason the time now to pick Rubio is to beat Hillary to the punch with picking an hispanic.

Second reason why. It locks up almost all of the southern states.

Rubio did well in Virginia and will also help in Nevada. This leaves Ohio for Trump to win. It also helps him compete in Minnesota and New Mexico.

This will allow Trump to put resources in the some of the Northeast states making Hillary compete in states they would not normally compete in.

Some argue for a women to cancel out the woman card or a black American. The problem with this is they a are more traditional base for the Democrats and the numbers available to be moved for women are less than the numbers available to be moved with hispanics.

With black Americans Bernie Sanders is an example of trying to move the black vote and is difficult.

He already has said he will pick an insider, someone who knows the ropes. He said two outsiders wouldn’t be good.

Born here, Parents not citizens for several years...

Another issue to resolve first!

How about Floridians not liking his abrupt turn on immigration after TEA Party sponsored election? They are still angry about the “GANG” in the Senate.

Explain how Rubio helps Trump in NV.

Because he's Hispanic? I understood that Cubans and Mexicans don't get along, was I misinformed?

Marco Rubio was born on U.S. soil to parents legally within the domain of the United States. That makes him a natural born citizen. That has been adjudicated multiple times and certainly fits the definition of the term when that phrase was written into the Constitution.

You won - so you can stop with the falsehoods now - they’ve had their effect and its over.

Quite possible. Kasich is also GOPe, so it would be a “balanced ticket” in that regards.

Someone who was successful in business before going to the House, then the Senate, and who then left rather than staying til they were carried out would be my choice.

Given that anyone who met those qualifications would be close to the same age as Trump, though, I think someone younger will probably be chosen.

It won't be Rubio or Cruz, though, as neither one has experience with much of anything except politics and the government payroll teat.

My prediction is Kasich, Gingrich, Christie and Carson will have important roles in the Trump administration.

Rubio lost Florida to Trump. How would Trump need Rubio to get Florida in the general?

No thanks.

I will stay home if rubio is picked.

Says the person who insulted people and called them stupid for believing Puerto Rico had ever been part of the United States and that the people there are U.S. Citizens. You even said it was no more part of the United States than Pakistan. You aren't exactly someone who is well informed.

Note her House committee assignments, and how they dovetail with Trump’s priorities.
