"I like Ivanka" says a nervous Marco Rubio

I guess she considers him one of those low class types . We will probably see Rubio do what Graham has been doing to try to get the Trump's to support him .



The last time Marco Rubio looked this uncomfortable in the national spotlight, he was stuck on robotic repeat in a Republican debate, being pummelled by Chris Christie.

Or maybe it was when he lunged for a bottle of water as he sweated his way through a response to Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, back in 2013.

“I like Ivanka, and we worked very well together on issues, and she’s a US…” Rubio said, trailing off then pivoting swiftly to a list of his perceived successes “for the people of Florida” since he was elected in 2010.

The interview ended soon after, a relieved Rubio able to avoid any further reference to his new Miami neighbour.

Scholars of Rubio’s previous encounters with Ivanka Trump will have noted this was far from his first moment of awkwardness. In June 2017 he was photographed trying and failing to give her a hug in Washington, the image inevitably going viral.

Some news reporter need to ask Marco, "So Marco, the last time you had sex were you with someone or alone?"
