Rubio’s name rises toward top of Trump’s VP shortlist
The Hill ^ | 06/16/24 6:00 AM ET | BY JARED GANS

... Strategists said Rubio’s background, experience as a legislator and skills as a political candidate would make him a strong candidate to widen the ticket’s appeal.

“I happen to think that he’s the candidate the Biden campaign probably fears the most,” said Florida-based Republican strategist Justin Sayfie. “Of all the people that President Trump can pick to be his running mate, I think that the Biden campaign probably would not like to see Marco Rubio on the ticket.”

Rubio, 53, is among the youngest candidates on Trump’s short list. He was first elected to the Senate in 2010 with support from the Tea Party faction of the GOP after serving almost a decade in the Florida state House. He was seen as a rising star in the party and perhaps the future face of the GOP ahead of his presidential run in 2016.

If Trump screws this up by choosing the Dem’s choice as VP, aka: RINO Rubio, I may not even Vote this year.

There is no credibility in any of these types of articles written over the past few months. All clickbait, especially with a source such as The Hill.

RINOs angling for a GHWB equivalent.

It was all downhill from there.

Rubio doesn't buy Trump anything politically.

Rubio cannot run as a VP candidate since he lives in the same state as Prez Trump. Thats my understanding. I may be wrong.

I like Vivek too. But I don’t think i’d stay home from this election even if his pick is someone I don’t like.

Rubio is also not an natural born Citizen. He’s not qualified.

1) I doubt it

2) Dear G*d I hope not

3) Libs would like it. If something were to happen to Trump Rubio would be president. And I don’t trust him at all. I remember the first time he ran for President- Fox news was “All Rubio, All the Time”. I even wrote to them and asked if they knew there were other people in the face. The only other time I wrote to Fox news was when I asked them if they knew that Mitt Romney’s first name was NOT ‘frontrunner’

4) DONT DOUBT that the liberals are already thinking “who can we get in as #2, in case Trump wins, so when ‘something’ happens to Trump we have our guy in place”

Vivek is not qualified due to the fact he isn’t a natural born Citizen. Both of his parents weren’t legal naturalized US citizens when he was born. Plus he’s from a third world country and not the type of person the original founders would have wanted as a president.
