Fox News On Suicide Watch After Marco Rubio Implodes At Debate

Fox News is on the verge of suicide after Marco Rubio completely self-destructed at the latest Republican presidential debate. The depression and gloom over the Fox News anchors could not be contained.

Fox News is on the verge of suicide after Marco Rubio completely self-destructed at the latest Republican presidential debate. The depression and gloom over the Fox News anchors could not be contained.

Chris Christie made Marco Rubio look like a robot who circuits were fried at the ABC Republican debate. Even after Christie called out Rubio for repeating the same talking point about President Obama over and over again, the Rubio bot couldn't depart from his script. By the fifth time, that Rubio had repeated the same talking point, the debate audience turned on him and booed. Rubio's performance was an unmitigated disaster, and Fox News could not hide their sorrow.

Video of sad Fox News:

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Brit Hume sounded like he might cry as he talked about the debate hurt Marco Rubio in New Hampshire and beyond after he had been, "so fluid a coherent." Apparently, coherence is the new gold standard for Republican presidential candidates. Fox News just wants a candidate who can speak in sentences and make sense.

To the surprise of no one, former Meet The Press moderator David Gregory is working for Fox News during the election. Gregory accused Rubio of trying to look like a general election candidate. A.B. Stoddard also sounded glum as she discussed how Rubio knew what attack was coming but fell into Christie's trap. Steve Hayes was almost wailing that beyond his early implosion, Rubio had a really good debate.

There can be no doubt who Fox News is supporting in the Republican primary. Fox will do anything to get rid of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. The fact that the on-air talent on Fox sounded massively depressed after Rubio fell apart made it clear that Fox is far from neutral in this election.

Fox News desperately wants a sane nominee, and they have convinced themselves that Marco Rubio is the Republican Party's last best hope in their effort to defeat Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Republicans are admitting that their party has no hope of winning if they nominate Trump or Cruz.

It is time to take away the shoelaces and belt buckles from the staff at Fox News because these people are clinically depressed over the demise of Marco Rubio.

The majority of Rubio supporters have Cruz as their second choice, according to the polls.

It was obvious Rubio was their man after Iowa. You would have thought he won with all the fawning over his 3rd place finish. I have never seen so much attention given to a 3rd place speech. Media will continue to prop him up all the way to Florida.

The site’s banner, “real liberal politics,” should frame how to take what they say.

“GIVE US TRUMP!!!! Stop fighting him!!!!!”

Sorry, I just can’t take serious someone who uses more exclamation marks in their post than actual words. Nothing personal.

Not paranoid of you are correct.
Besides, a little paranoia given the times in which we live may be healthy ;)

Can we stop them this time or will it be our last gasp?

I mean every time they pull this crap, we complain but nothing changes. Trump is our last chance, our very last chance.

Consider: whether one is a fan of Rubio or not, the content of the point he repeated is a significant one which may inform any adequate understanding of tragic decline of the nation over the past 7 1/2 years.

In such a case, his point would be far more important than the one being made by assertions about "lack of experience," for it gets to motive, and hints at the degree to which a determined ideologue, in concert with his/her likeminded ideologues can outweigh "experience," or the lack thereof, with determination and disregard for "the People's" will in the matter.

One might conclude that if a President who was devoted to liberty and the Constitution gathered enough of his/her fellows in a determination to restore America, then determination and regard for freedom might likewise prevail.
During the 2012 campaign, Romney laid Obama's actions or inactions, to his lack of experience, or just not "understanding," when, in fact, they resulted from a deliberate plan and stubborn determination to "fundamentally transform" America.

Rubio, last night, just drilled right through Christie's "experience" argument to show that Progressive Democrats, in order to advance their decades-long agenda to "change" America and shift it hard Left, shifted, in 2008, from an "experienced" Clinton to an "inexperienced," but reliably determined, Obama.

Just look at what has happened to America as a result of that choice!!

Hope we can.

I think more people are aware of the Faux News agenda.

For the most part, I have stopped Faux News viewing.

Need to get info to the low information GOP voters—those who only listen to Faux or Rush.

That doesn't cheer me up. Cruz will get in then what, tell all his donors to got to hell? Nope, before his hand leaves the Bible, Cruz will, just like all the rest, meet with donor buddies and do what he's told. Because as soon as these people are elected, they start thinking about re-election and that can't happen without the same cash that got them there.

Trump is our only hope and this chance will never come again if we blow it. All these "true conservatives" are drinking the kool-aid. Our system is broken and the only way to fix it is to get someone in there who's not owned by the open-borders, big banks, insurance, and pharmaceutical, and foreign money. That's it, the only ticket.

No, they are dreaming of the revival of Jebbie, which Barbara may yet bring about.

Since they are not supporting Rubio, they may be more factual than biased Faux News Channel. I find myself watching CNN for unbalanced news more these days.

BTW, with the exception of the flubbed up candidate entrance, I thought ABC debate was best so far. Liked how they posted the questions posed under the candidate—so yo could see when the candidates were not answering.

We need to get the word out that we have to band together behind Trump or the damn establishment is going to run us over again.

This isn’t a normal election where you can pick and choose your guy by issues, it’s all on the line here. Either Trump leads the revolution or the fire goes out.

What if they still just want Jeb and are setting us up?

Ah, win-win for the CLE. Dovetails with Slate's The Return of Jeb Bush

All of the faux news bimbos probably have restless leg syndrome over this, including Shep Smith. ;-)
