"Impeachment is stupid, but criminal prosecution is ok." Rubio may have just made the race a little bit tougher on himself.

Republican Senator for Florida Marco Rubio on Sunday declined to speculate on rumors that former US president Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, may challenge him for his seat in 2022, saying only that anyone seeking to take his position in the Senate will face a “tough race.”
Speaking to Fox News, Rubio also said that trying the former president in the Senate would be counterproductive and like “pouring gasoline on the fire.”
Ivanka Trump, a former senior adviser to the president, is said to be considering a run for office and rumors were given a further boost after she and her husband, Jared Kushner, recently purchased a multi-million dollar property in Miami.
Asked how he felt about a primary challenge from Trump, Rubio responded, “Well, I don’t really get into the parlor games of Washington.”
Rubio went on, “When you decide to run for reelection in a state like Florida, you have to be prepared for a competitive race, you run it like a competitive race, so that’s what I’m preparing to run, a very competitive race against a tough opponent.
“I don’t own the Senate seat, it doesn’t belong to me. If I want to be back in the US Senate I have to earn that every six years.

He sounds nervous.
What if it’s Don Jr who runs against lil Marco?
Oh it was just a bone for the media.
Micro Rubio thinks Florida voters are stupid.
We know South Carolina voters are, they reelected Flimsey Grahamnesty twice AFTER he vote for amnesty THREE times.
sounds like Dominion bling to me
Ivanka or Rubio - I have to believe conservatism would be better served by someone other than either of these two.
Rubio has no clue what he is about to face.
You are correct, neither one is conservative.
The GOP fluffers will be along shortly to tell us how Rush called Micro Rubio a “full-throated conservative” and we have to re-elect him (so he can help Democrats get amnesty and a permanent majority)
Wasn’t Ivanka a liberal before her dad became president?
She won’t be ‘primarying’ Rubio out just because she’s the daughter of Trump. And, I’m not a big fan or Rubio either, but, he’d be republican name to help win back the majority in the senate.
A lot of people who claim to be conservatives don’t serve us either. Micro Rubio was supposed to be a Tea Party conservative.
No kidding! Ivanka is a liberal. She wants national government daycare. Must take the kiddies from their parents at birth so they can be propagandized from the first. Also, we have to have all mothers working and paying taxes to feed the bloated state.
Rubio and Ivanka are both equally execrable in my eyes. Don Jr. should run and destroy foam boy.
I would take Ivanka of Marco.
That would be an improvement.....
That is who I want Don Jr. NO Ivanka!!!
So would I, but Matt Gaetz would be better.
