If Cruz goes for strategy, Rubio would make sense. He shores up Florida, has the young/good-looking angle for the women’s vote, has the emotionalism in his speeches that Cruz doesn’t really specialize in, and doubles-down on getting Latino votes.
And supports illegal immigration. No Rubio, please.
Don’t count on Rubio helping anyone in Florida. There is a reason he’s not defending his senate seat. When he first won the senate, he did so with less than 50% of the vote. The total for Charlie Crist, the independent, and the total for the democrat running against him combined, were more than the votes Rubio received.
Since winning the Senate seat, the TEA parties who had supported him have come to resent his stabbing them in the back. Nothing like the gang of 8, Chuck Schumer, Mark Zuckerberg and non stop amnesty to turn off conservative Floridians. Rubio has some big problems down here.
You are 100% correct JediJones. Trump will not need a Texan on the Ticket. Texas is deep Red. He can save Cruz for the SCOTUS.
