... 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.

the face = the race... stupid spell check
Neocon, Ukraine fan, never trust a Cube.
Yes, Yes and Yes.
And say goodbye to Florida’s electoral votes? I think not.
Wishful thinking maybe on The Hill’s part.
Burgum is the favorite among betting markets anyway .
Rand is never mentioned and not in contention
Carson would be great asset I hope they get him involved.
“Strategists”. 😅
That he’s never mentioned and seemingly not in contention is what makes me think it could be him lol.
Whomever Trump chooses, he/she will be lauded at FR as the most inspired choice in the history of US politics (even if that person has been the scum of the earth in Freeperland previously).
Trump is infallible. Trust the plan. 3D chess. /s
well I hope he doesn’t pick Carson!
I don’t think he’ll pick Haley. Who knows?
*Rubio could help with Hispanic voters, who are more up for grabs than usual this year.*
Don’t forget the voters in South America. Freedom’s on a roll down there. The Chicoms and the Russian military need to be countered. Cuba may finally be ready and Rubio as VP could fan the flames of protest/freedom.
I’ll say it again. Rubio would make a great Presidente of Cuba should they wish to fast forward into the 21st century. Trump would have to replace him during his term-more speculation.
Trump’s a disturber of the excrement. What better way to do it? Kicking him over to the Cubanos would get him out of the way for someone else. DeSantis?
Well I hope all get behind Trump’s running mate.
Some people on Free Republic have said they won’t vote for Trump if he picks the “wrong” running mate.
Of course people here disagree about who the “wrong” running mates are.
Vivek is a complete fraud.. sooner hes booted away the better
Not really excited with Rubio as VP. Not the worst thing in the world. But Trump is going to win FL anyway with or without Rubio on the ticket.
NO!!!! NEVER!!!!!!
GET A GRIP!!!! ARE YOU A GIRL??? THIS IS WAR!!!
If your name bubbles up, you’re not the guy.
Neither Marko nor Vivek are Art. II, §1, cl. 5 natural-born citizens.
This week’s happenings in Detroit tell me it’s Ben Carson. I hope so.
I know it’s unconventional and she’s not a conservative, but I think Tulsi Gabbard would bring in more young voters to Trump, more independents and even some Democrats. Gabbard is smart and she is a patriot. She loves this country and she’s open-minded and not an ideologue.
