Time is now for Trump to pick Rubio for VP

Posted on 05/03/2016 6:58:48 PM PDT by MagillaX

First the reason the time now to pick Rubio is to beat Hillary to the punch with picking an hispanic.

Second reason why. It locks up almost all of the southern states.

Rubio did well in Virginia and will also help in Nevada. This leaves Ohio for Trump to win. It also helps him compete in Minnesota and New Mexico.

This will allow Trump to put resources in the some of the Northeast states making Hillary compete in states they would not normally compete in.

Some argue for a women to cancel out the woman card or a black American. The problem with this is they a are more traditional base for the Democrats and the numbers available to be moved for women are less than the numbers available to be moved with hispanics.

With black Americans Bernie Sanders is an example of trying to move the black vote and is difficult.

I voted Rubio, but if Trump asked me for advice for VP, I’d suggest a woman CEO. If you’re going to run as the businessman outsider, go all in. Don’t pick an insider.

Oprah?

Rube-o is everything wrong with the GOP-e, AND nobody likes him. While Trump will easily blow out Hitlery Clinton in a normal race, picking Rube-o as VP would make the race a cliffhanger.

That’s not even getting in to the likelihood that the GOP-e would have Trump assassinated so they could have their precious President Rube-o.

Trump should pick someone who hates the GOP-e, and ideally someone who is NOT a politician.

I would prefer Rubio over Buckeye Kasich, but my first choice would be Sessions, not a likely choice. I could tolerate Christie.

Rubio couldn’t even carry any other county in Florida outside of his own Miami. Rubio is an ANCHOR BABY and we don’t need ANOTHER illegitimate running for the White House. Anybody supporting Rubio is just a stalker for the Dems.

NO!!!! Rubio is an anchor baby and NOT eligible to hold the office of president. What happened to following the ‘original intent’ of our Constitution? Why do people NOT get why the overwhelming majority of conservatives rejected Ted Cruz? HINT: Our Constitution!!!!!

The only thing Rubio will bring is a Florida loss?

If Trump wants to lose Florida, he’ll pick Rubio. I have no idea why people have the idea that a man who didn’t even attempt to keep his senate seat because he knew he could not win would be of any help in any Florida election. Trump didn’t beat Rubio in Florida by accident. No one trusts little Marco.
