Marco Rubio Responds to Repetition Criticism by Repeating Himself 3 More Times
Mediaite ^ | 2/7/16 | Tommy Christopher

Posted on 02/07/2016 9:15:36 AM PST by TBBT

The single-most buzzed-about moment from Saturday night's Republican presidential debate was Marco Rubio's repetition of a line about Barack Obama that he continued using even after New Jersey Governor Chris Christie busted him on it. On Sunday morning, Rubio returned to the scene of the crime, ABC News, and This Week host George Stephanopoulos led off the interview by asking Rubio "What went wrong" to make Rubio go back to that rehearsed phrase so many times.

Rubio took an interesting tack with Stephanopoulos, defending his repetition of the talking point by repeating it three more times:

Mario Robotco seems to have exposed himself as a lightweight who is good at memorizing lines and spitting them out quickly.

You can pile on Rubio with the rest of the crowd but what Rubio says about 0bama is spot on. Repetition doesn’t alter the facts nor diminish the truth.

Rubio is spot on about Obama but that’s where it ends. You can see his answers where scripted and rehearsed....almost like he know the questions in advance. Hmmmmmm. I could never vote for Mr Roboto, Open Borders, Gang of 8, Say One Thing Do Another, Establishmet Rino. No mater how much the GOPe or media tries to prop him up.

Rubio will not be President. He's an anemic candidate. In such desperate times as these, we need a strong, highly intelligent fighter like Donald Trump.

I saw the clips of Rubio's repetitions on a Yack Show today--Chris Matthews, Todd Something-or-other--Andrea Mitchell--that bunch.

Matthews cannot understand what a mediocre mind his is.

He also cannot understand (among many other things) why Rubio's continuously repeating that Barak Obama knows exactly what he's doing was not a falter. Constant repetition can sometimes get a point across to a dumb or stubborn listener, can even penetrate, sometimes, denial, willful ignorance, and low unintelligence.

Rubio might have penetrated the skulls of some viewers who hadn't been able to grasp this truth.

Matthews merely showed that his skull is too dense for even constant repetition to penetrate. He's still trying to figure out why Rubio kept repeating the same message. He hasn't even begun to understand the message.

Can't these TV outlets get intelligent people for their shows? Probably. But they probably want mediocre minds to repeat the propaganda. Anyone too intelligent might understand and speak the truth, which is the last thing these people want.

Come on, people. I’m a Cruz guy, but Rubio was only saying exactly what Rush has been screaming for the last disastrous seven years of Ocarter. I commend and thank him for driving the point home. It is these very RINO people attacking Rubio over this who fail to draw sharp enough distinctions between the dems and us republicans, and end up losing elections, i.e., Dole, McCain, Romney.

What I say about Obama would embarrass a drill sergeant. Should I be President?

Marco Rubio must be singing this oldie song by The Foundations: Build Me Up Buttercup. Lyrics: Why do you build me up, buttercup, baby, just to let me down?

I just watched the botched up introductions again. It was interesting that when Kasich wasn’t out there yet (after Trump and Carson came on stage), Rubio said to the moderators, “Can I introduce Kasich?” That was odd.

TTFlyer @13: "What I say about Obama would embarrass a drill sergeant."

What neither Rubio nor any of the other GOP candidates have called Obama (or HilLIARy for that matter) what he really is - a TRAITOR to the United States of America.

Marco Rubio = Manchurian Candidate II, III or a higher number?

I believe it all started with the first Bush. We have a slim chance to break the cycle with a Trump candidate.

I believe they stick a manchurian on both the dem and repub sides...they don’t care who’s chosen as long as it is one of their robots.

Seriously...the way he was ‘stuck’ on his talking points was FLAT-OUT STRANGE!

Did you just make up #Rubot? That’s a keeper.

He sure knows how to stay on message.

Junior Senator Rubio is learning from Trump on how to double down.
