Marco Rubio appeared at #CPAC2016 even though he’s still somewhat under the weather, and the GOP candidate scored with the crowd:
My ears are actually hurting the cheers are so loud for almost everything Marco Rubio says. #CPAC2016

Rubio gets biggest applause so far with promise to continue sending terrorists to Guantanamo Bay. #CPAC2016

But perhaps the most surprising moment in Rubio’s address came when he announced a running mate. Well, sort of:
*Rubio picks up water bottle*
"My running mate right here." #CPAC #CPAC2016— Meredithhh. (@meredawg24) March 5, 2016
Rubio, sick with the flu, calls his bottle of water "my running mate." #CPAC2016

The folks at CPAC are already familiar with Rubio’s “running mate.”
