Donald Trump’s son told Florida Republicans that one reason U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio didn’t make the GOP presidential ticket was the constitutional conundrum created by the Senator’s residency.
“He is an incredible guy. We all know him and love him,” Eric Trump said about Rubio. But he added that both Donald Trump and the Senator living in the same state caused “a real problem … a constitutional problem.”
“Were there workarounds for that, you know, send somebody out of state or something? Yeah. I mean, if they’re right, I think you could have gotten around that if you really had to. But that’s a problem having two people from the exact state,” Eric Trump said.
Eric Trump’s comments in Milwaukee, made at a breakfast sponsored by the Republican Party of Florida, confirm former President Trump’s previously voiced qualms.
Donald Trump said earlier this month that one complication to picking Rubio could be the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which blocks electors from voting for a President and Vice President from the same state, a rule that would have presented wrinkles.
“You do that, and it makes it more complicated. There are other people that don’t have that complication,” Trump told Brian Kilmeade. “Now, it’s fairly easily fixed, but you have to do something with delegates, or there has to be a resignation, you know, et cetera, et cetera. So it’s not like picking some people where it’s very easy, where there is none of that.”
Ultimately, vice presidential nominee JD Vance did not present the residency problem, as he is an Ohio resident.

Trump likes to humiliate folks and so he picked out Li’l Marco to dance and sing for weeks before the coronation. This is what authoritarians do, and what Trump the business typhoon has done his entire life.

When is a “constitutional conundrum” a concern for the convicted felon? The real problem is Little Marco Rubio. I’m sure he will be back for more humiliation.

Homelands secretary is the slot for Micro Marco should DJT win the EC — no way he wins the popular vote with all those thieves and rapists from the southern borderlands voting Democratic.

Marco would have been a great VP pick. Marco is a great campaigner and he understands just how terrible Communism is around the world. JD Vance is a pit bull. Trump is also a pit bull. Vance appears smart enough to be president if he needs to be, but does he have the proper experience to be ready? Only time will tell.
