No, Rubio would not run with him, nor would Rubio seek Cruz to be his running mate He so would, I never said he would..
no one in Washington wants anything to do with Ted Cruz. You keep saying this like it's bad..
And Trump isn't going to drop out, he will go all the way to the convention. And then drop out...
Who would you vote for Mr. Knows everything?

It wouldn't even make sense to pick Rubio since his whole campaign revolves around bashing the establishment. But Rubio wouldn't run with him, Paul wouldn't run with him, he would likely have to go completely off the grid to find a running mate like McCain did. I haven't decided who I am voting for yet, or if I will vote in the Presidential ballot.

Thanks for finally giving some sort of answer. Was it hard? It looks like you're still alive.
Anyways, I find it hard to believe that anyone would turn down being VP if asked. Maybe Trump but he is an *** anyways.

#2 After years of electing countless republicans the ends of which have produce no legislative changes, Cruz is not of that pack. He is almost the only one who has done what he said he would do once elected to congress. Shut down the govt? he didn't give a f*uck, he still did it. He shares this platform with Trump and not Rubio. Electing him or Trump is perceived as dropping a political nuke on Washington.
Three's a huge part of conservatives who are just pissed that after 2010, 2012 and 2014, nothing is still getting done. They've spoken up, chosen their reps, but their reps are still too scarred of being called racist to do anything. So its a race to sell them the "I'm pissed and wont back down" plate. Hence you have Trump, Cruz, and to a much lesser extent, Rubio.
So, how exactly do you reconcile these two?

People mad that nothing is getting done.
Shutting down the government so nothing gets done, yet it is supposed to be a good thing?

That is a trick question the government doesn't do anything....so shutting it down won't do anything !

It's most likely going to be Hillary this, Hillary that, thanks Hillary for the next 4 years, I feel sorry for you.
Wait a minute Hillary already won so what is the point of all this Iowa NH stuff ? Wasting time ?
CNN needs ratings so they invented all these caucuses ?

I'd say the USA election process is a major waste of time and money it could be simplified and shorter. About Hillary, all I'm saying is she's more likely to win than any other candidate, Rubio is probably her biggest challenger on the republican side but Cruz & Trump are polarizing the vote making it a nightmare for anyone trying to stand in the middle. Clinton is Obama v.2. Except without all the racial minority votes.
Sanders have a better shot at the presidency than Clinton does. And only because he wants to give out free stuff, so the stupid people (aka children barely old enough to vote and the layabouts) would vote for him.

I agree, but she'll probably win the women vote which is a pretty large percentage of the population. It wouldn't hold as much significance as voting for the first black president, which is pretty much the only reason why Obama won.
Then again, if people are willing to vote for somebody not based on their stances but because of the color of his/her skin....

I agree it's a waste of time we should just have them wrestle each other last one standing wins the election.

You underestimate the significance of voting for the first female president. Voting for someone because of their sex/skin color is silly, but keep in mind some people are voting against them for these exact same reasons.
I pretend to be a woman and I find this offensive !

Upwards of 90% of blacks voted for Obama. Hillary won't even get close to that number with women.
