Marco Rubio 2016 (2 Viewers)

He took too much adderall, or his MKUltra programming failed and he got stuck in a loop. Unfit for office.

Rubio Defends Repeating the Same Line 4 Times at the GOP Debate

Florida. Sen. Marco Rubio defended his repetitive critique of President Barack Obama during Saturday night’s presidential debate, saying he’d continue to argue that he believes Obama was calculating in his attempt to change the country.

Speaking to more than 500 supporters at Londonderry High School Sunday, Rubio made only a passing reference to the debate in which his performance was widely panned.

“You know, it’s interesting, right now, after last night’s debate, people were like, ‘Oh you said the same thing three or four times,’” Rubio said. “Well, I’m going to say it again: the reason why these things are in trouble is because Barack Obama is the first president, at least in my lifetime, that wants to change the country.”

During Saturday’s debate, Rubio repeatedly argued that Obama was not an incompetent leader, seeking to undo eight years of GOP talking points, and that it was his ideology not inexperience that was wrong. “Let’s dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing,” Rubio said. “He knows exactly what he’s doing.” But Rubio offered a near-verbatim version on the line four times during the debate, drawing criticism from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie who called it the “memorized, 25-second speech,” and argued that Rubio did not have the experience needed to serve as president.

In an interview with ABC’s This Week, Rubio argued again that he’d keep making the argument against Obama. “It’s what I believe and it’s what I’m going to continue to say, because it happens to be one of the main reasons why I am running,” he said.

Exactly. I wasn't that he repeated the same line over and over. Its that he repeated it to questions that required a non practiced answer. He was like a robot that was unable to say anything it wasn't programed to.

I think he was trying to say that he knows what he's doing by talking about Obama because a lot of people are critical of his experience and comparing the two. That's my theory at least. Kind of a stretch if that's what he was doing.

 
He got killed on the Sunday morning shows. Those clips playing back to back of him saying the same thing about Obama 4 times is one of those moments that just might live in debate folklore. It's so much worse than it was live. I honestly don't know if he recovers from it.

Probably should wait until Tuesday night. If he's under 15% I'd say he's finished.

No need to wait. It's ***Official***.

No, he could come back from this (he did from the water bottle fiasco). However in the next debate after NH he better make sure he doesn't repeat anything twice, because the media has set the robotic meme and will be looking for anything to reinforce it.

Watch him double down and try to turn "Obama knows exactly what he's doing" into his catchphrase.

The water bottle gaffe was just that, a nervous gaffe. This, however, strikes at the core of the narrative surrounding Rubio--that he's robotic, needs a script he can rehearse, can't think on his feet. In other words (to borrow his words, in fact), he is disqualified from being President of the United States.

"Barack Obama knows exactly what he's doing, and he wants to change the country."

Somewhere, Barack Obama was watching that debate and was like "Yeah, and . . . ?

"I sort of campaigned on 'change'"

I think the best part of it was Christie so casually leaning on his podium going "There it is" without any hostility just effortlessly exposing him.

I think I posted my reasearch findings, maybe earlierin this thread, that Rubio is a delegator, even/especially the thinking part.

Don't most presidential candidates want to change the country for the better? Isn't that the whole point of it? ("Make America Great Again", "Hope And Change", etc.)

I guess Rubio doesn't get this concept, as his official campaign slogan is "A New American Century". Welcome to 16 years ago!!

Rubio laughed at first (I guess it hit home) and that really pissed off Christie.

Rubio's new campaign slogan "I Don't Know What I'm Doing And Won't Change Anything".

 
Rubio got exposed, but this is annoying tactic is used by many politicians...avoiding a direct question and going into a memorized speech. They probably practice the timing so they can talk right up to the buzzer.

This is why the debate format needs to allow for longer answers . 90 seconds allows you to be shallow and not all that informative.

They should run it with a chess clock, letting the candidates decide which answers need more or less time. When their total time runs out, they're done.

The debates are long enough IMO, don't want to spend 3 hours watching these things. Giving them more time is probably not going to be much more informative, in Rubio's case he would just give a longer canned answer.

More repeated talking points

"92 other senators who have ideas"

"you have to wait ten years"

"They don't qualify for any federal benefits, including Obamacare"

"we have de facto amnesty"

"Universal e-verify"

"violence problem"

All the candidates sound repetitive if you follow them on the road everyday. It will be hard for Rubio to avoid this, especially when it looks like a bad habit he has developed as Senator.
 
With the gaffes piling up, I want look back to my personal favorite Rubio gaffe -- when Rubio was asked about his self-professed love for the Wu-Tang Clan, he was unable to name a single member. He goes on to say that his current favorite rapper is Pitbull and that he is a big fan of 2Pac and Dr. Dre's song "California." What a phony. :lmao:

Rubio must think that his cursory knowledge of 90's rap makes him look cool to the Young Republican crowd. It's actually kind of appalling when you realize that Rubio is attempting to appropriate the coolness of black hip hop culture in order to help himself get elected, so that he can enact right wing policies that go against everything that his alleged favorite rappers believe in.

I completely agree with this. Part of the knock on Obama's ability to shape policy is to signal to the GOP that he would be capable to do the same even without a lot of experience
