First tweet of the 2020 campaign?
A big early step toward setting himself up as the anti-Trump candidate in 2020. You do it by example. https://t.co/BiQtfLBuf3

Best statement I've seen from any Republican on this. ?? https://t.co/pX9QgD3vMD

Or is it warning because there’s worse stuff on Republicans out there:
"…and the stuff Wikileaks dumped on the Democrats is NOTHING compared to the shit they'd have on us."

@AidanKerrPol Rubio happy to hide Dem corruption, because it might expose GOP corruption. Pathetic.

But, then again … does anyone believe Dems would hold of if the shoe was on the other foot?

Rubio's position is good principle/politics, but make no mistake: if WikiLeaks ever hit him, official Dems would go hogwild w/it in a sec. https://t.co/aVRqYPKBjr
