Rubio still repeating himself after hard debate
“He knows exactly what he’s doing”, Rubio said on a loop. Marco Rubio is a gifted, gifted politician, and he may have the skills to be a President of the United States, but we’ve tried it the old way with Barack Obama, with soaring eloquence, and we didn’t get a leader.
The costumed men were sent by liberal group American Bridge that describes itself as “a progressive research and communications organization committed to holding Republicans accountable”.
“It’s what I believe in, and it’s what I am going to continue to say”, said Rubio, who also defended his foreign policy expertise and record on immigration during an interview Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week with George Stephanopoulos”. A loss in New Hampshire would be a devastating blow to the Vermont Senator, who has, since early January, been a favorite to win the state’s delegates. “Last night alone, we just had a brief question about North Korea”. Trump then joined Carson in the entrance-way as several other candidates passed them by to reach the stage.
“Peyton Manning is supporting me, and I’m for Denver”, Jeb Bush said during Saturday’s debate, referring to the Bronco quarterback who may be playing his last game on Sunday.
“I would bring back waterboarding, and I’d bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding”, said billionaire Donald Trump, speaking of the “enhanced interrogation technique” that simulates drowning.
When Rubio repeated the same line again, Christie sought to reinforce the charge that Rubio is so inexperienced that he relies on well-worn talking points and can not think on his feet.
It was Trump’s roughest moment in a debate, as lower-tier candidates such as Bush and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie – who need good showings in this week’s New Hampshire primary to rescue their candidacies – took on the front-runners. Though his own poll numbers are slumped in fifth place while Rubio’s have surged to second, Christie argued that everything had changed with last night’s debate.
Gov. Chris Christie’s attack on Sen.
Christie said he doesn’t want “a first-term senator unprepared for the world” to face Clinton. Trump is still expected to come away with the win in New Hampshire which would give him extra momentum to carry him into the SC and Nevada primaries. Fair to say? Don’t shush me, man. We’re running for president.
Noting that Kasich had a Republican legislature, where he has Democratic majorities, Christie added that Kasich had also spent far more time in Washington as a congressman than as a governor, calling Kasich “a creature of that culture” in Washington. “For me, it’s all about winning the White House, and I think he’s the best candidate to do it”.
“They had to shame you into going back”, Rubio said. “That is downright wrong”, said Bush.
“There was a march amongst some in the chattering class to anoint Sen”.
