... will determine whether the GOP ticket will be Walker/Rubio or Rubio/Walker.
ADDED: The larger point here is that the GOP candidates are — wisely — not attacking each other.

"Even official candidates are usually loath to discuss vice presidential prospects before securing the nomination."
They're trying to spin this into news, but really the "Would you be open to teaming with..." is just asking whether this other GOP frontrunner is beyond the pale of decency.
Is anyone asking Hillary about Sanders? Oh, right, I forgot. She isn't taking questions at this time.
For the untrained, it's usually a mistake to go for the fast pin.
It won't be arm wrestling.
It'll be the guy with better hair.
Sorry Scott.
Watch out for that Rubio character. Anyone who would pay off a student loan ... might do any crazy thing !
Fiorina/Rubio
Walker and Rubio will arm wrestle to see which one gets the sex change operation.
The usual Democrat with byline piece. If it had been the NY Times again, I would not have read it.
Walker and Rubio are top tier, I would say,
Walker: “I do like Marco Rubio, I think he and I have similar thoughts on national defense and foreign policy."
You bet he does. Oy!
The larger point here is that the GOP candidates are — wisely — not attacking each other, yet. Plenty of time to do that.
Fiorina/Rubio
Too many vowels....
: “I do like Marco Rubio, I think he and I have similar thoughts on national defense and foreign policy."
He kicked around school teachers, so he's prepared to take on ISIS. Real foreign policy cred there.
The Republican "Dream Team".
Actually, I like it a lot. I like it so much, it won't happen.
Fiornina/Rubio. She can loan him some money so he can get a real luxury boat.
I would prefer the libertarianesque Rand Paul, but I don't think he can win the nomination.
This is a welcome change from the 2012 campaign where Gingrich was into nonstop attacks on Romney.
In fact, that was his entire campaign.
Walker/Rubio is a very strong ticket for a number of reasons. Not the least of which is that both of them are an entire generation younger than Granny Clinton and anybody she could conceivably put on the ticket with her that has any semblance of national stature. The Dem bench is small, old, and white.
That's not a bad ticket.
I do think though that they will need a woman on the ticket if Hillary! Gets the Dem nomination. A woman can say things, and can attack in such a manner, that a man cannot, esp w/o coming across as a bully. Unless they have their wives do the attacking.
I could support a Walker/Rubio ticket because (a) Walker has executive experience and (b) as a current member of the Senate and former Speaker of the House in Florida, Rubio would be better able to serve as President of the Senate and help get Walker’s legislative agenda through Congress.
The difference between the candidates, with few exceptions, aren't nearly as important as how they stack up vs HRC. Not directly, as she's not engaging anybody, but in framing her as an opponent.
I'm pretty sure Rubio is running for VP, but it could turn out like Obama.
As Walker has not declared, it's early to take him down.
If you are talking about how they aren't going after each other halfway through the debates that might mean something.
