First things first. Who cares who thr Biden campaign fears to see on the ticket. They really should fear seeing Biden on the ticket (if they cared at all about the country).
Secondly, i don’t mind this idea. He’s not MAGA but his ability to recognize that MAGA is a real force and that it can’t just be business as usual is better than the others Repukes. He has made real concessions to the ideas espoused by Trump. Since he’s not ultra MAGA he gives a voice to those for whom Trump is not their first choice. Gives them real skin in the game. He’s a powerful voice hammering Biden on immigration considering his previous willingness to do a pathway to citizenship. He realizes the country is in much worst shape then when he was willing to deal. He gives real stakes to the defense wing of the party and he is a strong and credible critic of Biden on defense. He’s not my first choice to be sure, but I think there is a solid case for him and I wouldn’t be disappointed. From an electability perspective I think he helps with the Mcacainiacs in Az and GA. I also think he helps in VA. Not sure if he helps with the Hispanic or Latino vote but he doesn’t hurt the inroads made.
I wouldn’t mind Rubio. One thing about him is he’s sharp in front of a camera — very quick on his feet. I think he’d be a good articulator of Trump’s agenda and defender of Trump himself. He’d be like a shrewd defense lawyer out there battling with the media. And being an establishment type would give him some cred. Of course it would have a downside too. It’s all about tradeoffs.
Trump isn’t exactly a social conservative. Picking a social liberal like Stefanik (or even Burghum) would be a horrible choice.
Ben Carson would be good as a placeholder. Someone like Sarah Huckabee Sanders or Ron DeSantis would be better looking toward the future.
Whatever happened to the rule that you couldn’t both be from the same State?
NO TO LIBERAL.
I think this is BS. When he can pick a person who is quality in every way (Carson), why would he go with the Bubble Boy?
Rubio doesn’t pass the authenticity test. He seems like just another politician.
I will not vote for Rubio in any capacity on any ticket.
He doesn’t have much to choose from.
JD Vance is far superior, but Rubio may sway many Hispanic votes. No one can trust Rubio with illegal aliens.
Nope.
JD Vance
Tucker Carlson
that is all.
Elise Stefanik
I don’t see how anyone from FL can be chosen.
THE HILL……..OMG utter garbage, pushing Rubio just as they did Haley, Trump would NEVER choose Rubio, GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!!!…Trump’s team TROLLING the Hill!!!
I am terrified they will bring out the lawfare guns against Rubio because of the Constitutional question about two candidates from the same state. I don’t know if this is really a problem but I have no doubt they will try to make it a problem. We can’t give any opening to those Dem crooks.
Otherwise I have no problem with Rubio except we could lose a sure Senate.
