CNBC’s Kernan: Rubio Sounded Like ‘Baghdad Bob’ Last Night

Wednesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” the day after the Super Tuesday presidential contests, host Joe Kernan reacted to

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) speech in Miami, FL reacting to his performance.

Kernan declared Rubio’s message to be a “weird alternate universe” and likened it to former Iraqi spokesman Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf, also known as “Baghdad Bob,” who made incredible statements about the Iraqi military’s performance during the 2003 invasion despite the facts on the ground being otherwise.

“Where did Alice go?” Kernan said. “Down a rabbit hole or something? This is some weird alternate universe.  The other thing that struck me last night, did you watch Rubio’s victory speech? I was watching it, and it was like, where have I seen this before?  The only guy I could come up with was Baghdad Bob. It was like: ‘We have the Americans on the run. They’re at our gates, but they’re headed the other way. We’ve been working on this strategy and it’s working.’ It was like, what are you talking about? What world are you in? Does that help?”

His daughters looked uncomfortable as heck.

They knew he lost big, whatever he was saying.

[LeoWindhorse]

Reality and GOPe or Rubio are not in the same Universe

I think it is daydreaming to thing that he can beat Trump. But it is not out of the realm of possibilities that he can keep Cruz from becoming a serious alternative to Cruz or even to keep a resolution to “our collective anti-Democrat” candidate from getting a preconvention consensus.

He is the GOPe establishment candidate now and that is his only goal - as a frigging spoiler. It is a shame that Cruz does not see this and start attacking him.

[TexasCajun]

...just a flesh wound, still battling.

[Gaffer]

Cruz as an alternative to Trump I meant.

Thankfully Ruby will be done after Florida. (2 more weeks)

He’s a youngster, hopefully he comes back a better candidate in the future.

“”””He’s a youngster, hopefully he comes back a better candidate in the future.””””””

As a democrat?

[nascarnation]

Doubtful.
Who knows what he’ll look like in 2020?

[factoryrat]

Well, he can always go back to being a cabana boy for the castro brothers. I heard that boy king obama has taken a shine to all of that hot cuban......

That’s just wrong on so many levels.

Let’s get #MinnesotaMarco trending on twitter

I noticed that as well.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Maybe he’s so confident because someone in the GOPe told him they’d “fix things” for him at the Convention.

[BenLurkin]

Interesting, because half the country has never heard of Baghdad Bob.

[Da Coyote]

If we get RINOubio, it is the last straw for me.

I held my nose for marsh - Dole.

I held my nose for the despicable slimeball McDork.

I held my nose for RINOmney.

No more.

If: RINO
Then: No vote

[BigEdLB]

Well, after all he did carry Minnesota, so he got his participation trophy.

“It is a shame that Cruz does not see this and start attacking him.”

Cruz has already sided with Rubio. That is why Cruz got the backing of Linda Graham.

[Gaffer]

Then he is truly lost. It will just drag out, but the end result won’t be for him. I’m sad to see it actually.

[BigEdLB]

I have accepted emplyment with the Rubio campaign. Donald Trump is a con artist, and the polls showing him with double the support of Senator Rubio are lies. Just like reports of President Saddahm's death are a lie. The President has retied to Tahiti and attends weekly performances of Elvis Presley. He wished ne good luck and said I could get a job with a Cuban, so since the Castro family had no openings, I applied for a job with the Rubio campaign and was hired. Believe me, Miami's beaches are fabulous, and that is no lie.
