... 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.

Why is Kari Lake never considered?
Well, if you want to get into the whole natural born citizen debate, there is no consensus on Free Republic on that subject.
It would be like Reagan picking George Bush Sr.
It would turn over the MAGA movement to the RINOs in 2028.
Because she’s running for Senate this year, she’s presumably busy with that campaign.
And depending on state law in Arizona ,she might not be able to be a candidate for vice president and Senate on the same ballot in the same year.
It’s a head fake.
“The leader will be a governor who is an executive.”
Glenn Youngkin. Trump wins VA, he wins the election.
Politically, I like the argument for the VA governor, Youngkin. You move VA into the GOP column, things get really tough for the Dems.
What skills as a political candidate? Dude’s a dork with Mickey Mouse ears and small hands. Smells like cabbage.
I vote for Ben Carson as the ideal VP.
In discussing this issue, I have found few know why the natural-born citizenship clause was added to the Presidential Clause in the first place and why it is so important for at least Republicans to know why.
My point is simple—our President is the Commander-in-Chief of the nation’s armed forces. When you stop and realize this one person holds virtually all executive power, and also take into account the vast increase in speed and destructive firepower modern weapons now have over their 18th Century counterparts, you begin to realize just how important this requirement has become in today’s turbulently shrinking world, and how important it is to apply the narrowest of definitions to the “natural-born citizenship” provision rather than standing on the threshold of abandoning it altogether — forever.
I guess it’s too much to ask Marko and Vivek would understand this point as actual natural-born U.S. citizens do.
Well, if The Hill says it, it has to be Uniparty Truth.
This is not the first article citing Rubio as a possible running mate. There have been many others, which means he is in the running.
As if the media doesn't repeated unsourced lies over and over again?
Your argument is retarded as is your "weak-minded" insult.
Please dear god NO.
I agree on Stefanik. Trump needs a female pit bull. She’s done a great job replacing the Lizard and she’s growling at Pelosi…backing her into a corner saying Pelosi is responsible for J6. She also won’t take Pali protesters and their anti-Jewish horse shit.
Of course, the media is agenda driven....including conservative media.
But since Rubio's name has been in the running for months, to try and claim it is media created is ignorant of reality and a sign of uninformed people.
To blame the media for every little thing is not free thinking.
Agree totally.
Not going to happen I hope. Anyone that survies for more than one term in DC is compromised. They have to be.

To claim that the media doesn't push namelessly sourced VP candidates that they like and the media doesn't push lies for months is a sign that your "free thought" and objectivity are clouded by bias and ignorance.
And I don't think you know what the phrase "ignorance of reality" means since you use it to describe people who don't believe as fact that Rubio is seriously being considered for VP by Trump.
Exactly.
The media keeps throwing deep state RINO names out because they want you too support them.
