(I"m in the back of the room as Rhonda Graff announces Marco Rubio.)
Marco Rubio, tan and trim, looks the picture of confidence.
Rubio
"Mr; Trump, how are you? Great to be here. Congratulations!"
Strong hand shake
Trump
"Marco, thank you very much. Great to have you here. Now I hope our arrangements were not too difficult."
Rubio
"I felt like I was in a spy movie. The hoodie and sun glasses idea really worked. People on the street took one look and looked away. And that is some underground entrance with the fast-opening automatic garage door."
Trump
"Great! Actually we have a lot of experience with getting people in and out without being noticed."
"OK, I only have a minute so here's where we're at. I need to win Florida. It's a must. And we're working on how helpful you would be. On the one hand, I beat you in the primary."
Rubio
"And on the other hand I got 2,645,743 votes to win the senate."
Trump
"And Obama got 4,423,756 to win in 2012, that's 2 years after you. So the question is whether you win Florida for me. Or not. Because Marco, everything else is great."
"I need someone who knows the inside process, who knows everybody in the Senate and a lot of people in the House. I need someone I think is really smart and really tough and can work with me - that's you."
"And I need a tremendous campaigner. That's you, as well."
Rubio
"Mr. Trump, I really want the job."
Trump
"That's great, Marco. And here's how important the position will be. I intend to spend 3 weeks a month at the New York White House - Trump Tower. So the VP has a big role in day to day government. Also, I plan to finish my work in three years, so I won't need to run again. And I plan to fully support the VP."
"Marco, you're on the short list. We'll have another meeting next week. Any questions"
Rubio
"No questions. I'm ready to start. "
Trump
"Thanks Marco. Call with any questions or if anything comes up. My guys will get you back to Teterboro without being seen. Thanks again."
