I think that the more people see of Trump the more they will see that he is a loose cannon. My vote is still leaning toward Rubio. So far, Trump has been hands off on Rubio. Is he thinking that Rubio would make a decent VP running mate when he gets the nomination? If so, a Trump/Rubio ticket would be a landslide win in the general election. The Clintons would finally be handed their walking papers.

Nope, I don't see it happening that way. If there is a Trump/Rubio ticket, they will definitely be up against Hillary, but we we don't know who her running mate will be. In addition, as someone else mentioned, mainstream Republicans will surely see Trump as a loose canon, Rubio as a right wing fringe nut and I suspect he won't get any votes from independents either. Hillary, on the other hand, is the only person running with serious foreign policy credentials. And in this terrorist climate, that is one of the most important credentials of all. Plus, she clearly will get the votes of blacks and people of color, who are a majority in the country. I don't see any way she can lose, based on who the Republicans are offering up.
