Christie accuses him of repeating the same talking points, and what does he do? Babble the exact same speech four times in a row. The fourth time was especially inexcusable and amazing after he had had time to think about it. Kasich and Jeb look like dignified elder statesmen by comparison.

I'm relieved, because all of this time, I thought he was gonna be a real contender! I even predicted he would be the nominee! Onto to Kasich!

We tuned in for only a few minutes to see Rubio panting that Hillary was totally unqualified to be President, because she had classified documents in her emails!! And anyone who would allow 4 Americans to die in Benghazi is just unqualified!!
He always seems to be desperately at the end of his rope.
What a gaggle of pathetic individuals. A fucking clown show.
It's rather insulting to see TV anchors trying to treat them fairly and like adults when about all they have is this irrational hatred of anything Obama or Clinton, or just generally Democratic.

Marco Rubio: Say what you want about Chris Christie, but he clowned Marco Rubio. Four times, under different questions, Rubio clumsily pivoted to some odd speech about how Obama knows what he's doing and it's bad for our country. All four of these topics elicited the same answer from Rubio, "Obama knows what he's doing."
The worst part of it was when Christie railed that Rubio ignores the question and just presents a "memorized 25 second speech." Rubio's answer? "Obama knows what he's doing..." No kidding. He gave the same 25 second speech while Christie and America looked, pointed, and chuckled.
All I could think of when watching this exchange was that young Senator who couldn't handle the pressure of delivering the Republican response to the State of the Union and reached for his glass of water. Rubio appeared exactly like so many novice debaters I've judged who don't know how to handle a cross examination, so they simply repeat whatever they've memorized.

(111,271 posts)plus he's got an ego that matches Trump's.
I still think it's going to be a brokered convention and Come from Behind Kasich will be the nominee. I can't see the party putting its stamp of approval on any of those other goons and they know Jeb! is a loser. The bigots and fundies will object. There might be blood on the floor when it's all over.
