Rubio? Castro? Really? None of these people have any real experience that qualifies them to be either first or second in line to the presidency. To partially quote LBJ, how about they grow a little bit of damn gray in their hair before being considered as White House material?

I long for the days of more substantial VP selections. Sadly, it appears those days are over.

That ticket has no foreign policy experience. Funtatlaguy Feb 2016 #2

Marco Rubio has ZERO foreign policy experience. He's a little boy. Trust Buster Feb 2016 #3
