I'm not sure who benefits here with perpetuating this preposterous partnership. There's just NO advatange gained. Rubio hasn't even BEGUN to grovel at the Trump alter hard or long enough to realistically be considered. But, Rubio has sold his soul over and over and over again, so what' sone more deal with the devil?
