It’s a little early to be talking VP’s for any candidate. But my first thought is that Rubio could help win Florida.

I will say this. If it does end up that Cruz and Rubio become a ticket, I’m just not going to vote next year if that’s what I’m left with. Absolutely not. No more settling, even though Cruz is my preference, first and foremost.

anti-Establishment candidates who never have held office (Trump, Carson, Fiorina, Paul).

Ummmm, unless this is from a parallel universe, the author needs to reconsider Paul in this list. He's a sitting senator.

That makes no sense. Your guy (the best guy) on the top of the ticket but you won’t vote?

It makes sense to me. There is nothing anyone could say or do to convince me that a decision to bring Rubio onto a Cruz ticket makes any sense at all. Rubio is an opportunist amnesty shill. The fact that Cruz would even deign to think a ticket with him is within his or my belief system is completely alien to all logic. His doing so would completely erase any faith and belief I had in Cruz.

Expediency - calculation for result, even if for the best cause and intent is still settling and an indication of weak resolve for one’s principles.

I’m not interested in settling, holding my nose, constructive abandonment of principles or any of that. Been there done that and am not going to do it ever again.

I heard this same scenario last night at our Conservative Club meeting. Too early to tell but Trump may just shoot his mouth off one too many times.

Trump at 27%, Carson at 21%, and Fiorina at 6%, and they think the public will settle on an establishment (hold’s public office) candidate at 5% for the nomination?

Sorry, I’m not buying the 9% figure with all the other polls I’ve seen.

One thing this political season has spawned is some of the wildest pie in the sky ideas I’ve ever seen political writers and pundits offer up.

These are by far, the wildest political rantings I’ve ever seen. Just simply unhinged...

” . . .If that assumption is correct (and it is a big assumption), then that 58% will have to go somewhere else. . .”

Assuming the assumption is correct, don't expect me to go anywhere else but home. I will not vote for a rino. I will just not vote.

If enough people think like you do, we just might have a repeat of 2012.

I think Trump is convincing himself that he can win it all and become POTUS.

My bet?

I think Trump will pick his VP based on what state becomes most critical to the EV victory.

If Ohio, I think he will pick Rob Portman.
If Florida, I do not know. Not Jeb or Rubio.
Pennsylvania? Who knows?

Cruz will be the AG in a Trump administration.

I also think Trump will select his cabinet at the same time as his VP pick.

BTW, friends on Wall Street say Bloomburg is running around testing the waters with big shots as a Democratic POTUS candidate if HRC is charged and if Biden does not run. Can you imagine two NYC billionaires squaring off?

As much as I hate to say it I think Trump will eventually get tired of the backstabbing and heavy handed tactics the GOP is using against him, especially Fox News. I think he’ll say “to hell with it, I’ve got a company to run”, and bow out of the race.

I did think he would tell his supporters to support Cruz but now that Cruz has said he didn’t think Trump could ever be elected I think Trump will not be so gracious to Cruz.

Although I don’t want to see it I think the eventual GOP nominee will be Rubio. The Koch brothers are giving him a billionare dollars to bankroll his campaign. Republicans have to carry Florida and Ohio to win the presidency. I think Rubio will pick Kasich as his running mate and once again we’ll have no true conservative leading the ticket, but Rubio, even with his amnesty talk, would be 1000 times better than Romney as a candidate. So that’s my prediction. If Hillary Clinton is elected president this country is finished. Obama has tried his best to destroy it and she’ll finish it off. The Supreme Court will go liberal for the next 50 years if she’s elected.

Yeah just like Romney picked Ryan to win in WI.
