One thing that makes these jokes work so well is that they have been staying within the bounds of deniability. “I wouldn’t trust them to move my couch” or “…if he gets off his couch to debate me” would still make sense as barbs even if you didn’t know the couchfucking rumors.
That’s the kind of delivery Trump could never manage if the positions were reversed. He’d just walk straight up to the microphone with an evil smirk on his face and say “DID YOU HEAR HE FUCKED A COUCH??”

Colorado representative (and former Army Ranger) Jason Crow also made a couch joke:
You see, it’s not tough talk, it’s not chest-thumping. Because, in war, talk is cheap. And trust me, I know a couch commando when I see one.

… she’s a senator already
Taking any other job would a step down 
Not so sure. She’s super qualified, presumably nearing the end of her career at 75, and her senate seat is solidly blue. I could see it.

… if, say, Hillary Clinton and Jeff Sessions had never become cabinet secretaries, then they would still be in the Senate today
Quitting the Senate was a mistake for both of them, and would be a mistake for Warren

This isn’t about taking “any other job”, this is about transferring from the legislative branch to the executive branch at cabinet level. How is this a step down?
Besides, there still are people, even in politics, who value a position where they can get shit done higher than a position with real or imagined “prestige”.
