Vice Presidential Candidate Rubio on Goodwill Tour of Middle East

(source) "Little Marco" has been emerging as a favorite on /r/The_Donald for the last few weeks. In comparison to the dastardly Cruz, the junior Florida Senator is widely seen has having made a classy exit when he supposed to, and having gotten aboard the Trump Train (apparently). He satisfies Trump's stated criterion of needing someone who can push legislation through Congress. As President, Trump would be a king on the chessboard. He would mostly be a homebody, making short trips and coming home at the end of the day, just as he has done throughout the primaries. Foreign leaders will come to see him, not vice versa. It will be a throwback to Reagan and before. It will be big deal when he meets them abroad, just as in the days of the Reagan-Gorbachev summits. For other ventures abroad, he will rely heavily as his bishops and knights of the chessboard, like his vice president
Trump-Rubio. The strong betting favorite lately. Don't expect an official announcement until the convention. There is no advantage to doing so earlier, only disadvantages, so it won't happen.
