Rubio got endowed with a lot of mostly, probably, undeserved political capital a few years ago when he was supposed to be the GOP Latino savior after they fixed immigration (LOL, LOL, LOL.) He would ride a wave of votes from thankful Latinos. When that didn't happen, they're still stuck with Rubio because ain't he great? Otherwise, they look even stupider than usual. Also, they need a token Latino and Cruz is too unstable, more likely to bolt the Party and run independent than serve as a magnet for the Latino vote.<br /><br />FWIW, I think the GOP will go with a black man for VP. My bet is on Ben Carson. I think it will be Bush/Carson v. Clinton/Castro in the general. And I put the odds on Bush/Carson by a nose. A dirty, underhanded, vote-surpressing nose.mlbxxxxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05931351723996391533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-38660925939264992302015-03-01T12:16:16.630-05:002015-03-01T12:16:16.630-05:00Right.

And you can have a sinecure as a pundit on Fox after you run if you ring the right bells.aimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956073425680585780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-56409656388354874732015-03-01T08:58:20.038-05:002015-03-01T08:58:20.038-05:00You've answered your own question with empty s...You've answered your own question with empty suit empty head.
