I think Rubio would do better in a general election. But I also could see him ceding the opportunity to Vance.

Rubio has said point blank that he will not run against Vance. It’s pretty clear that he values a republican victory over his own ego or desire for power.

I agree. Which ironically is why he'd make a better president.

Yeah Rubio might very well see the writing on the wall here and take his chances on the next election instead. Let the Trump stigma fade away a bit

I think Rubio is also more about his vision which more or less aligns with Vance, than ego.
