Trump predicted that if the Republican National Convention devolves into a floor fight and he loses, ‘if I leave, all those people are gone, and the Republicans will go down to one of the great defeats in history’. As for a potential Rubio vice president: “There are people I have in mind in terms of vice president”. Scott Walker and John Kasich certainly thought so.

Everything Trump says – opposition to the Iraq War, criticism of trade and criticism of Washington – is right, she told me.
“Look, I am running for president of the US and that’s it”, Kasich said. “All he’s doing is just he goes from place to place, and loses, and he keeps on running”.
Asked in an interview with USA Today if he might give Florida Sen. “Yeah. I could”, Trump tells Powers, when asked if he could see himself appointing Rubio to a position in his cabinet.
