United States News Title: New Jersey Man Slays Child–The Christie/Rubio Debate Takedown There were a lot of long faces at Fox News Tuesday night, but theres a silver lining for Marco Rubio. Now he can go be a bartender like his dad! (Have you heard him tell the story about his father being a bartender? Rubio was his pops best customer after the debate.) He can wear a flowered shirt, tell yarns about his father, and if hes asked to make any complicated concoctions: JEB CAN FIX IT! Gov. Chris Christie will always be remembered for the noble service he performed for his country Saturday night. He must have known his campaign wasnt lighting the world on fire, but he was damned if he was going to stand by and let that pretty-boy mountebank win. Christie smacked Rubio down at the GOP debate by dramatically exposing the fact that Rubios only skill is a weird ability to regurgitate the memorized 25-second speech that is exactly what his advisers gave himas the governor memorably put it. In a surprising move, Rubio responded by regurgitating the memorized 25- second speech that was exactly what his advisers gave him. And then he did it again three more times. This is what Rubio said, all within about 3 minutes: (1) But I would add this. Lets dispel with this fiction that Barack Obama doesnt know what hes doing. He knows exactly what hes doing. He is trying to change this country. (2) And lets dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesnt know what hes doing. He knows exactly what hes doing. (3) Heres the bottom line. This notion that Barack Obama doesnt know what hes doing is just not true. He knows exactly what hes doing. (4) I think this notionI think this is an important point. We have to understand what were going through here. We are not facing a president that doesnt know what hes doing. He knows what he is doing. Thats why hes done the things hes done. Far from an important point, its an incredibly boring point: The president knows what hes doing! But Rubio kept pounding out the words as if he were announcing the theory of relativity. Proving that he had memorized words written by someone else, he even made the exact same grammatical error twice. Either we need to dispel the notion or we need to dispense with the notion. We dont dispel with notions. Public speakers fumble over their words all the time. But if theyre using their own words, they dont keep making the same unusual grammatical mistake. Thats the smoking gun of Rubios party trick of passionately delivering someone elses speech. It was one of the most riveting moments in campaign history. Suddenly, everyone felt what the rest of us have been saying all along: I want my presidential candidate to have reached puberty. Trump should make Christie his attorney general. Three days later, Fox News tried valiantly to salvage the teenage robots campaign: It was a hell of a night for Marco Rubio. Of all the people in the U.S., only FOUR people did better in New Hampshire tonight. Thats out of 330 million people in the country! The No. 2 finisher is speaking nowbut lets get back to Rubios remarkable and probably unprecedented fifth-place finish in New Hampshire
Meanwhile, over on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow was agog at the fact that IN THIS COUNTRY, 66 PERCENT OF GOP VOTERS ARE COMFORTABLE WITH BANNING MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS. Her neurotic repetition of the popularity of Trumps Muslim ban should be considered an in-kind donation to his campaign. Most people heard it, and thought: Is that true? Then Im definitely switching to Trump. Even Muslim immigrants were saying, I probably wont commit jihad myself, but I know some of the Muslims coming definitely will. Its like importing immigrants with Ebola. We feel bad for them, we know its not their fault, but we just cant let them in. For every 100,000 Muslims we admit, we know that at least a few hundred either plan to engage in terrorism right away or can be persuaded to engage in terrorism later. Another 10,000 will send them money or help them hide. Trump could probably help himself by saying: Fine. You dont want a temporary ban on Muslim immigrants? How about we temporarily suspend all immigration? Lets take a breather while we watch what happens to Europe. Not only would a pause in immigration be wildly popular, but it also would give Trump a jump-start to his promise to be the greatest jobs president God ever created. There isnt a lot the entire country agrees on, anymore. A few generations ago, there was so much that brought Americans together. Everyone read LIFE magazine, listened to Jack Benny on the radio, and then later watched Ed Sullivan together, every single Sunday night. All Americans watched the moon landing, were traumatized when Kennedy was shot and supported the troops. But today, with a billion cable channels, and specialty magazines on everything from bridal gowns to automatic rifles, and a wildly heterogeneous population, theres not a whole lot that brings us together. Its pretty much down to the Super Bowl, the Muslim ban, and, as of Tuesday night, loathing Hillary Clinton. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest

(4) I think this notionI think this is an important point. We have to understand what were going through here. We are not facing a president that doesnt know what hes doing. He knows what he is doing. Thats why hes done the things hes done. Except Rubio has also given speeches about how 0bama has no idea about what he is doing.
