Marco Rubio Defends His Repetition of Talking Point by Repeating Talking Point
nymag.com ^ | February 7

Posted on 02/08/2016 6:24:04 AM PST by Helicondelta

Appearing on ABC's This Week on Sunday morning, Marco Rubio insisted that his bizarre and robotic repetition of anti-Obama talking points at Saturday night's Republican debate was a good move, and repeated a variation of the talking point again

Rubio never really got to the ‘Obama is destroying the country part.’ He seemed more to make the point that Obama accomplished a lot as president, even though he was a newbie senator, like Rubio.

Here’s my “issue” with the Rube saying this over and over again. He has been in the Senate for 4 Years, what has he done to stop it?

Has he put any pressure on McTurtle to halt the progressive movement? Has he voted against any of Obama’s Court Nominees, has he fought along side Sessions, Cruz and Lee to stop the open border B.S.?

Nah, Marco has been too busy playing war with McCain. Grahamnasty, having dinner with the President and taking long walks along the beach with Schumer to write a Amnesty bill.

He’s a slimy little weasel IMHO.

Be very afraid. There was talk this on NBC this AM that Kasich could get a lot of the support that's looking for another candidate. Kasich is even more dangerous than Jeb, because too many folks don't yet realize what bad news he is.

Rubio is just NOT that bad a guy. Can't see why you're trying to get rid of him while Jeb, Kasich, and now Cruz (dirty campaign tricks and questionable financing sources) have become much bigger problems.

Kasich won’t do squat in super Tuesday.

He’s al older version of Marco Rubio who took Karate lessons. :)

Rubio is a dishonest person. He lied to get to the State House, He Lied to get to the U.S. Senate and now he is again.

ANYONE that supported the Gang of Bill is disqualified in my book. Let alone be the one who helped draft it AFTER promising the People of Floriduh He wouldn’t support Amnesty.

My favored candidate repeats himself all the time. They all do. They repeat the part of the message that they really want to get across, perhaps the one that's unique to the candidate. Rubio repeats that Obama knows exactly what he's doing, and nobody else is saying it. That's a good thing, that someone is trying to get that message across.

Maybe those wannabees that are criticizing Rubio for this are okay with Obama intentionally destroying the US.

Just tryin' to apply some logic here. <^..^>


Let me feed your post into the "Marco Rubio translator" and see how it comes out:

My favored candidate repeats himself all the time. All the time. They all do. Every one of them. They repeat the part of the message that they really want to get across, perhaps the one that's unique to the candidate. Repetition is good; a candidate repeats the part of the message that they really want to get across. Rubio repeats that Obama knows exactly what he's doing, and nobody else is saying it. It's a good thing that Rubio repeats that Obama knows exactly what he's doing. That's a good thing, that someone is trying to get that message across. Rubio knows exactly what he's doing, and it's a good thing.

Maybe those wannabees that are criticizing Rubio for this are okay with Obama intentionally destroying the US. I guess those wannabees that are criticizing Rubio are okay with Obama destroying the US.

Just tryin' to apply some logic here. Some logic. I'm just tryin'. <^..^>

And another thing. My favored candidate repeats himself all the time. They all do. They repeat the part of the message that they really want to get across, perhaps the one that's unique to the candidate.

Anyone who read my post and your posting of it two times has read it three times. That means it probably sunk in. One education principle some follow is that if something is repeated three times it sinks in.

Rubio is not my first choice, but HE IS RIGHT WHEN HE SAYS OBAMA KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING.
It was all by design to bring America down, and Obama has succeeded.
I have to wonder about anyone who does not realize this.

I think he repeated so many times because he wanted to get this fact across to low information Americans.

Yet M. Rubio is doing exactly the same thing with his amnesty. Is it to deflect from his own plans?

The essence of what Rubio said was correct. However, by repeating it several times, with the same wording, rather than extemporaneously expounding and explaining, Marco weakened the argument, and made it ridiculous.

I'd love to see Christie go after Cruz. Ted would slice and dice him to where Jabba the Hutt would be turned into Jack Spratt.

I didn't watch the entire debate, but I saw a couple of the instances where Christie nailed Rubio going back to his stump speech. Rush would refer to that as discipline; I call it wearing blinders. Anyone can memorize a few minutes worth of a stump speech and canned lines. I admire Cruz' ability for extemporaneous speech, and the way he articulates his answers. Sure, I wish Ted had more executive experience, but I believe he can handle the job.

That’s true, but he WAS right about Obama.
I’m glad he kept repeating bringing America down was by plan by Obama.

No, that means it stinks.

Good principle for 3-5 year-olds. Bad for anyone older than that; after laughing at you for sounding like an idiot they'll tune you out.


Let me help you out here: I've taught elementary high school, and adults, and have graduate training in Marketing. What you vary is the medium - you don't repeat the message. You get what you're trying to communicate verbally, visually, and if possible, in a sensory or tactile manner. Easiest way to bore kids and adults is to repeat, repeat, repeat the same thing over and over and over. Marco is failing at this.

Rubio, bless his handsome ‘lil heart, is not my candidate, but I wish he had said Obama knows exactly what he’s doing
20 TIMES!
He, with the exception of Donald, maybe, is the only one with guts enough to say Obama knows exactly what he’s doing.
THIS IS WHAT HE MEANT BY ‘FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING AMERICA’.
He hates America/whites/Jews and set out to bring America to her knees. He has done it, and it will take a strong, smart,courageous man like Trump to make America great again.
To make America respected again.
