Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[Lods]

There's a common line of thought that Hillary is a poor campaigner but would make a good president if she were to win the election.  She's lucky she's up against Trump as he may well blow up his campaign.  She's lucky Trump took out Rubio.  He is an impressive debater (in conventional, non-Trump debates at least) and his Latino background would have helped him.  In addition, there would have been a young/old and smooth/stilted disparity that would have helped him.

Don't rule Rubio out as a Vice presidential candidate.
He's been very quite since he pulled out of the contest.
For the reasons above he'd be a good "sidekick"

He's not seeking re-election to the Senate.
Despite their differences during the campaign it appears Rubio would be willing to speak in support of Trump at the convention....and although he's said he wouldn't serve as Vice President nothing is a sure thing in this election this far out.

One thing holding him back may be that he wants to have another crack at the top job in four years...and if he's part of a Trump campaign that goes "pear shaped"..... which, as mav points out, is always on the cards....then he might be damaged by any association this time around.
