This is only true on foreign policy, and only to a certain extent. It is true that Hillary's biggest ally as Secretary of State was Robert Gates, a Republican (left over from the Bush admin).
On domestic they would be much different. While I think Hillary has morphed into being a non-ideologue, she would have to pander to her base. Just as one example, both Jeb Bush and Rubio are pro-school-voucher, whereas Hillary Clinton would be in the pocket of the teachers' unions, and therefore is an has always been staunchly anti-choice and anti-voucher.

Why quote my post if you're not going to respond to it? Nowhere did I say anything about immigration. Ah because you're not interested in even a semblance of rational discourse and debate. Personally I don't think this will be a high priority issue in 2016, but for those who do there is Cruz and Walker. The GOP candidate only needs to be to the right of Hillary, and that will not be very difficult.
Bush/Rubio can't be on the same ticket because they are from the same state. There's something in the Constitution that prohibits it, although I can't cite it for you. There's something that would prohibit Florida's electors from voting for both of them. If Jeb changes his residency back to Texas, it could work, but that isn't happening.
12th Amendment - this issue came up with respect to Bush and Cheney both being residents of Texas.
Being pro union is not the same as being anti school choice or anti voucher, it simply means you arent going to hurt public schools to create a pro choice pro voucher environment.
In the current climate, being Pro choice and pro voucher is a self fulfilling prophecy.
The term.pro choice refers to abortion and pretty sure HHillary is pro choice. Thats not going to change
Rubio will not get the nomination. But I have a feeling that when Jeb Bush gets the nomination he will ask Rubio to be his running mate. So my prediction is Bush/Castro vs Clintion/maybe a Castro brother. Should be interesting as I have no idea who would win in this scenario.
"Bush/Castro" Raoul?
For the most part, Presidential candidates try to get a geographical diversification in selecting a VP candidate for the ticket. So, it might be more likely for Bush to pick someone from the West Coast or Northeast.
