Paul would never do Rubio or Lee
Why, because it would be a double senator ticket? It worked for Obama/Biden.
Too much ideological redundancy, making the ticket prone to being attacked as "far-right"
I got news for ya: If both candidates on the GOP ticket oppose marriage equality and abortion, they will be attacked as far-right anyway. Since both candidates
will oppose marriage equality and abortion, they
will be attacked as far-right. Plus, the presidential candidate will have a Republican primary to go through.
I mean, Mitt Romney, the "Massachusetts moderate flip-flopper" was attacked for this. It's something any Republican will have to deal with, and frankly it will probably work until the party changes its tone.
