I'm not sure how much sense that would make. An extremely conservative candidate with another extremely conservative candidate...usually the nominee will pair up with a VP that will help them expand their base slightly and peel votes off from demographics their campaign messaging wasn't primarily targeting. Two hyper-conervatives would leave independents and moderates behind in the general election. Strategy wise it would be quite a departure...

True. I would expect them to grab someone from the midwest or New England who was much older then Rubio or Ryan. However, the Republicans aren't known for making sense.
