Walker open to teaming up with Rubio on 2016 ticket
By Ben Kamisar


Gov. Scott Walker (Wis.) is open to the idea of teaming up with Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) on a GOP presidential ticket, he told Bloomberg on Thursday.

“I do like Marco Rubio, I think he and I have similar thoughts on national defense and foreign policy,” Walker, who is weighing a 2016 run, said in an interview on Bloomberg's With All Due Respect.

Asked by Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin if he would be open to announcing in December that the two of them would run as a ticket, and settle who would be the nominee for president and vice president later, Walker replied that some supporters had pitched that idea.

Hmmm....Maybe I need to pay more attention to Walker and get comfortable with him  ('cause I ain't no big fan of Rubio).

I think both Rubio and Fiorina deserve a place in national GOP leadership, whether either makes it on the 2016 ticket or not.

They both appear to be exemplary Americans.

He's probably open to any number of candidates.

Probably so.

But....he's said YES to Rubio eighteen months out!

Rubio's looking more and more attractive to me ... not that there's anything wrong with that.  :laugh:

You're right AC! 

But I prefer "electable" in addition to exemplary.   Sure you do too.   :patriot:
