serious political people must come away from his events thinking, "nice speech, but lame."

He is giving the same speech as Cruz in NH.

And the Trumpster doesn’t repeat ‘make America great again’ ad nauseam.

These are politicians for crying out loud. They all do it...give it a rest and go make America great again!

A list must be made for the sport of it.

This is no different than how other politicians do it. They memorize a "stump speech" and do it with little variation night after night. The speeches are written by others and tested in front of focus groups. On top of that, most of them still need a teleprompter to keep all those empty slogans and phrases on track. Which is why Rubio failed last night. Without a teleprompter, he kept repeating the same talking points over and over, like a pull-string talking doll.

In this campaign, Donald Trump is the only one that steps up to a podium day after day with no apparent script. No teleprompters. He may unfold a sheet of paper with his own notes. I doubt that even his handlers (if he has them) know exactly what he is going to say that night. He lurches from one subject to the next. He does repeat the same phrases a lot like "We are going to build a wall" but you never know what direction he is going to head in. Each speech is completely different than the others. As a result, these speeches are never boring and while they often exceed an hour in length, the audience is riveted to every word.

That all said, critics of Trump use this against him.

Giving the same speech is true of most politicians. Dubya, Kerry, Obama, Hillary, McCain, Romney, Ron Paul, Huckabee, Santorum to name just a few rarely had a non-repetitious speech.

"no one else gives the same speech WORD FOR WORD !! nobody ever does it. ONLY MARCO"

That is why it's called a STUMP Speech. Just simply amazed at the hypocrisy. I get it, you don't like the guy, but there are plenty of real issues to not support Rubio - this is not it. I don't see you complaining when Christie mentions he being 'the only guy who has law enforcement experience after 9/11". Or Cruz saying he's the 'only one ready to take on Washington' etc. etc.

“I doubt that even his handlers (if he has them) know exactly what he is going to say that night.”

They would have to be some ‘handlers’ if they advise him to say things like “tell them to go —— themselves”.

There are many reasons to criticize Rubio, however this is not one of them. The stump speech is as old as politics. You tell each audience the same basic message with minor situational variations.

What got him last night was verbatim repetition. Which suggests that he is speaking from memory, not the heart. A skilled speaker is able to drive the same point home repeatedly, but using different language. Their stump speeches vary as needed to stay relevant to each different audience. Trump and Cruz are able todo this.

I’ve watched several Trump events and he always ad libs around that same basic theme. But only Rubio delivers these tape playbacks with exactly the same wording, the same intonation, etc. It’s been commented on numerous times during live debate threads.

Pete, I am a Cruz but but they all repeat the same crap ad nauseum. The pros call it staying on message. How did this one work for getting votes: Hope and change, hope and change, hope and change..... Enough to make a stout man puke but he won.

Marco Ruboto.
Bringing gang of Eight (bit) amnesty to machine beings everywhere.

[Luke21]

Every pol I’ve ever seen gives the same speech over and over. Their staffs can repeat them word for word.

I get the tone deaf debate performance. He was programmed and really messed the whole night up. I detest Rubio, but to blame him for doing what everybody’s candidate does is unfair.

here is 2 of 4. the guts of the speech.

A. Trump never recites the same speech even on subsequent events the same day. He improvises and adapts.

B. Get off your high horse, we all know what a stump speech is. The noteworthy thing about last night is that it was notan appropriate place for a stump speech, yet under pressure that’s as Rubio could do. This gives insight into his ability to think and adapt to stress. Obama stammers, Rubio repeats.

[jocon307]

I think they ALL give the same speech over and over. Do you honestly think they’d come up with a new speech every day? This is why being on the campaign trail must be kind of awful for the reporters.

Slightly on topic: hubby used to follow concert acts around to sell t-shirts. He’d often be able to get into the venue after the intermission. He always remembers Janet Jackson tearfully telling the audience: I love you Atlanta, I love you Dallas, I love you Peoria, night after night after night.

In both cases, this is not the important thing to complain about.

If Rubio is elected President maybe Obama will let him use the Teleprompter in Chief.
