If you are Rubio and you know you just screwed the pooch what do you do?
Just imagine for a second that you are Rubio and you just left your mark to grab a refreshing beverage while delivering a major speech. Imagine, if you will, that you KNOW you totally botched the job. You KNOW you are gonna be a laughing stock. So, what do you do? Do you just finish the speech and kiss your political future goodbye? Do you finish the speech and then attempt to show some good humor about the whole fiasco (seems to be the current strategy.)
Or do you go up to about the last line of the speech--the closing remarks--and then do a huge freaking swan dive and claim later it was some kind of illness...
Do you knock stuff over and go all the way down? Maybe even let them load you into an ambulance and take you away to the ER? Claim the lights and heat got to you-claim you'd been sick all day and were trying to do your best while ill--maybe dehydrated or something?
I told Kevsand last night, that I'd have opted for the huge swan dive and the protestations of illness. IMO, if you are going down, at least do it big!
What say you?

seriously, listening to a few of the pundits, much of the left and the sane middle thought he screwed up big time. The Obama haters on the right thought it was great. Just another reinforcement of polarization....and the whackadoodle views of the current right wing.
