That Debate Moment When the Script Is Evidenced

by sundance

No intellectually honest person can deny the Greenville South Carolina debate was constructed to provide maximum benefit for Marco Rubio. The structure was so brutally transparent even the customarily obtuse punditry are having a hard time obfuscating.

We have been pointing to the GOPe road-map for over two years. As each tripwire is crossed, the ridiculous justifications of those in denial necessarily increase; but that doesn’t mean we will stop pointing out the strings on the presidential marionette show. Cue yet another audio visual demonstration.

Do you see anything odd with this screen shot from the live CBS debate?

Perhaps you’ll note – that in order for the CBS production staff to put a Marco Rubio “immigration position” graphic on the screen, at the exact moment when he was questioned about it – there had to be a particular pre-planned intent.

And no other candidate had ANY similar graphic used, at any individual moment, on any individual topic, other than this one. This was the only time CBS put out a candidate position graphic during a candidate response. Are you more curious now?

The moment this took place was at 54:48 of the video below. However, I would suggest any interested observer to begin playing the video just prior to CBS News Major Garrett asking the question.

Cue the video to 54:07, pay close attention to the gently worded and intentionally open-ended question. “for the purposes of legislation, define amnesty“?

Don’t you just love those softball open-enders…. Especially when they are placed upon a tee with such diligence and care.

Now go back and watch the video again. Even more closely this time. Look at Rubio, watch his eyes and body language – apply your own common sense to what you are witnessing.

Not only did Rubio know the topic question was coming. Not only did the CBS live broadcast production team know the question was coming (hence the graphic), but Rubio had topic notes (on the podium) for reference during his response.

Again, for emphasis: The professional Republican party insiders want Marco Rubio to win the nomination; they have been open with their advocacy. The Greenville audience was pro-Rubio, even admitted by the republican insiders who were participating. The media noted during the debate, the audience seemed structurally designed. Rubio was tee’d up with a strategic softball. And the "live" CBS production staff knew to have a graphic ready at a specific moment. A broadcast enhancement exclusive for Senator Marco Rubio.

….Once you see the strings on the marionettes you cannot watch the pantomime the same way again; because you can never return that moment when you did not know they existed….

The Republican National Committee (RNC), in coordination with the DC beltway, GOPe establishment, insider and party donor class, are “Grubering” us!

"Yeah, ALL THE OTHER candidates said, let's lose to Marco!"

How does the post suggest that all the other candidates said 'let's lose to Marco'?

I took that the poster was just suggesting CBS was helping Marco. That's not exactly a far fetched notion. Might be true, might not be.

But I didn't read tin-foil into the post. I read 'careful scrutiny of the media with valid question'.

All undocumented immigrants are criminals.

They’re trying to draw a different distinction.

“Undocumented immigrants aren’t criminals, but ones who have criminal records, we’ll deport”

[xzins]

They wanted us to remember the word “deport” and confuse it with Rubio’s real position which is “discuss it to death”.

[rwoodward]

Hes not only a Robot, he gets to see the amswers in advance! The debates are rigged. Candy Crowley is probably writing the script too!

[Catsrus]

Let’s not forget that Major Garrett used to work at FOX. And, who is FOX rooting for? Why, Rubio, of course.

“I took that the poster was just suggesting CBS was helping Marco. That’s not exactly a far fetched notion. Might be true, might not be.”

A. You didn’t follow the whole conversation.
B. How could CBS be helping him without the help of the audience. This guy was saaying that all the other people in the auditorium were cheering for the GOPe guys and booing Trump. I suggested maybe it was the content of what The Donald was saying.

Uh, nobody suggested the other candidates were part of the plot, just the victims of the plot. My question to the people who are capable of rational thinking is WHY would CBS play a willing part?

[Ray76]

They gotta go.

[odawg]

Probably warmed Rush Limbaugh’s heart.

[tinyowl]

Got it.

No, you're wrong. The RNC didn't distribute tickets by lottery -> they specifically distributed them to donors and workers. It's pretty well documented all over the internet, including on liberal media sites - I've seen it on vox and salon.

I can't say whether CBS was specifically helping Rubio, I CAN say as a fact, that the RNC packed the audience, and that's a pretty well known fact at this point.

Didn't you find it odd that the 2 most popular candidates, who happened to be the against-rnc candidates, were practically getting booed off the stage, and yet Jeb, at 4% was getting cheered like a conquering hero - Marco too? I'm not tooling on them - I'm just saying - it is a fact that the RNC packed the audience, a well known, documented fact at this point.

it was *Rehab Rubio Night* in Greenville, SC last Saturday night

---

yup

[moehoward]

“I saw that graphic and thought it was really odd.”

Me too. Kept waiting for one for another candidate. If it was there I missed it.

I mean, I know Rubio is a broken record , but c’mon.

[gg188]

Per PBS, Cruz's time in the debate was just seconds less than Trumps, well under a minute.

Repeating another lie for Cruz. You guys...wow!

[heights]

How the hell do you think they did it, with Magic?

[heights]

They did it because Rubio is their type of Republican, Traitor to the core.

[xzins]

It was odd. So was the moment when he was told he could talk about anything he wanted to talk about.

Is that when he went into the marriage and family speech?

[TTFlyer]

It’s all dog and pony - psychological warfare if you will. Cruz and Trump ought to refuse any further “debates.”

I cannot believe how rapidly, and how far down, my country is descending into the depths. What’s worse, I know that with the death of Scalia in the middle of this campaign, it is only going to get much worse.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

I did notice the graphic and I did think it was odd.
