Rubio delegates urge Trump to make Florida senator his VP
Washington Examiner ^ | 05/06/2016 | GABBY MORRONGIELLO

Posted on 05/06/2016 9:01:10 AM PDT by MaxistheBest

Nearly a half-dozen Louisiana delegates who previously supported Marco Rubio released a letter on Thursday pledging to back Donald Trump at the convention and calling on the presumptive Republican nominee to choose Rubio as his running mate.

"Previously being undeclared after supporting Sen. Marco Rubio, the five undersigned delegates feel it is important to coalesce around one candidate and begin the process of party unity for the ultimate goal of defeating the Democratic challenger in the fall," wrote the "Rubio Five."

The letter, which was obtained by the Washington Examiner, continued, "We firmly believe the process of achieving consensus involves not only supporting the presumptive nominee but also asking him to listen to the will of the other voters who may not have originally supported him."

If Rubio wants to run for re-election to his own Senate seat, he still has time before the filing deadline.

But he knows Florida is done with him, so he has nothing to offer Trump.

Shouldnt the VP be constitutionally eligible to be President since he is only a heartbeat away?

Rubio is not where near a NBC.

For the hundredth time........the Gang of Eight bill is identical to what Trump has proposed. He simply uses a dumbed-down, elementary explanation. He will send them back, bring the good ones back in and create a pathway to citizenship if they stay “good”. It is also referred to as touchback.

I’m well aware of Julian Castro. I was thinking of the octogenarians in Cuba. Marco could taunt the people into overthrowing them. I never felt people like that are entitled to a natural death.

I wonder if Little Marco would be as bored with being VP as he is with being a senator.

Beyond that, Little Marco is done. Floridian can’t stand him, he’s a liar.

Let’s try to stop attaching parasitic, go nowhere, GOPE loser has beens to Trump’s campaign.

“The only thing Rubio brings to the ticket is a VP matchup against Castro.”

Fidel or Raul?

No one listened to you the first time, and no one is listening to you on the hundredth time.

Rubio couldn’t even win his own state. Politically, he’s useless.

Rubio will turn into robot again debating Biden. Oh yah, Biden will be VP until Hillary is prosecuted and he runs the general...

Marco Rubio is not eligible to be Vice President of the United States, because he is not a natural born citizen as required by the Constitution. Furthermore, he is proven to be unwilling and unfit to perform the duties.

Why does this bother people so much? If you support Trump, as I do, you should understand what he has proposed, nothing wrong with touchback as long as no one calls it touchback, right?

And you don’t have to be insulting, I was simply trying to impart information.

Just telling you the truth.

There was also no wall in the Gang of 8, there was no seeding of Syrian refugees home, and there was 8 politicians that no one trusts at all.

And saying that someone has to immigrate legally isn’t touchback amnesty.

Senor Amnesty should try getting an honest job, instead of continuing to live off the taxpayers.
