It was a tad bit painful to witness Rubio's discomfort. On the other hand, failing to offer Rubio water when his mouth was dry as the desert, and placing the water several paces from the camera--that set design oaf was either a liberal stooge, or a moron who needs to be run out of town.
Excellent point, NautiNurse! You're right... why the heck wasn't someone right next to Rubio (off-camera of course) with a GLASS - not a bottle - of water at the ready?
Sen. Rubio is one of our best assets, and I'm sure has a very bright political future. We've seen him speak so many times - in person at CPAC - and on TV dozens of times... he's usually 100% flawless, and *never* nervous.
Last night's mishap was painful to watch. Unfortunately I'm sure the stupid, liberal writers at SNL are going to have a field day with it...
Sen. Rubio delivered the Spanish version flawlessly, from what I could tell from my rusty high school Spanish, lol. Check out Sen. Rand Paul's Tea Party response also (links below). Both Senators Rubio and Paul delivered excellent speeches IMO.
