Marco Rubio is so desperate to be picked as Trump’s #2 he’s prepared to give up everything
wetting his pants over the possibility of being Trumps #2, is seemingly willing to go further than anybody else.For a spot on the ticket, the two-time Florida senator would probably have to move out of his home state.
That’s because the 12th Amendment discourages two people from the same state occupying the same ticket. Under the Electoral College’s rules, electors from each state must “vote by ballot for President and Vice President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves.”That means if Trump carries Florida, the state’s 30 electors could vote for Trump or Rubio, but not both of them.
Under that scenario, even if Trump wins the election (gulp), it’s not guaranteed Rubio would earn enough Electoral College votes to join him in Washington.
