On "Morning Joe" Tuesday morning, host Mika Brzezinski threw out an interesting theory: Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are playing nice with one another — and savaging Ted Cruz — because a backroom deal has been cut between the two to form a ticket with Trump as the presidential nominee and the Florida senator as the second in command.
I hate agreeing with Morning Joe, but I've been thinking the same thing. Nikki Haley is an interesting suggestion but I'm guessing The Donald would want someone with some Washington experience.
To me, the more interesting question is who will Hillary pick? Julian Castro's name has been mentioned, and if he passes what better be vigorous background checks that could help solidify the Latino vote in crucial swing states. There's also something to be said for Sherrod Brown, whose economic populism might offer disappointed Bernie supporters some comfort, though I'm not sure I want to take my chances on Ohio replacing him with another good Democrat. Thoughts, anyone?
I want to say Sarah Palin but I saw the time she endorsed him. Trump even thinks she's too dumb for that.
Kasich for Ohio and some moderate votes.
And also too Sleazeya is a dick for mentioning Scott and not mentioning his Medicare fraud slap on the wrist.
Counterpoint: Bill Kristol predicted this so it's clearly impossible.
Ewww, I'll be back after my shower.
You heard it here first, people.
Herschel.
